Equipment
Ingredients
- box of cake mix - any flavor if you use the full box of cake mix, you'll actually get 24 cupcakes instead of 12 but this recipe was halved to get 12 cupcakes
- 1 Cup(s) of confectioners’ sugar
- 1-2 T of milk
- 4-6 ounces of white fondant
- cookie cutter 2 inches in size
- 2-3 ounces of blue fondant
- toothpick
- Green frosting
Instructions
- Once the cupcakes are done baking, let them cool. While they are cooling, it's time to make the frosting.
- Put the sugar, butter, and milk into a bowl.
- Beat them with a mixer starting on low and increasing to high.
- Once semi-stiff peaks form, the buttercream is ready.
- Put it into a piping bag with a round icing tip.
- Next, roll out the white fondant to be 1/4 inch thick.
- Take the round cookie cutter and cut out 12 circles.
- Add a bit of the buttercream to the back of the circles and stick them on top of each cupcake.
- To make the bowtie, roll out 2 spheres of blue fondant about 1/2 inch each.
- Flatten them a little bit to make them look like a teardrop.
- Lay them side by side with the points facing each other.
- Take a tiny bit of the blue fondant and flatten it. Put that in the middle of the two other teardrop shapes.
- Grab a toothpick and make two lines on each side of the bowtie.
- Use the toothpick to spread the buttercream on the back of the bowtie and then put it in the middle of the cupcake.
- Use a Wilson #4 tip to add the green frosting to decorate. Enjoy!
