What kid doesn't love cupcakes? This recipe incorporates
Santa and Mickey, they are cute and I'm sure delicious too.
What you'll need:
Oreo's
1 box of chocolate cake mix
3 large eggs room temp
1/2c softened unsalted sweet cream butter
1c whole milk
1T pure vanilla extract
(For the Frosting)...
3c unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
6c powdered sugar
5-7T heavy whipping cream
2tsp vanilla extract
1 large piping bag with small star tip
red gel food coloring
1 container of holly leafy Wilton sprinkles
Create:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line your cupcake pan with
black cupcake liners. In a medium bowl add the cake mix, butter,
milk and vanilla extract and stir until combined. Fill cupcake
liners 3/4 of the way. Bake in the oven for about 21 minutes.
Cool completely before frosting.
While the cupcakes are cooking prepare your icing. Using a
mixer combine the butter, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream
and vanilla and mix on a medium speed until combined and smooth.
Start splitting your Oreo apart, you wanna scrape all the icing
out of the Oreo. You need one Oreo per cupcake.
When you are ready to use the frosting scoop 1c of frosting
into the piping bag with the small star tip. Mix a few drops of
your red food coloring into the remaining frosting. Scoop that
into the piping bag with the large star.
Start frosting the cupcakes with the red frosting. Using the
white frosting pipe dollops of frosting onto the bottom of
the white of the red frosting to make the rim of the Santa
hat and pipe a dollop of white frosting up top for the white
ball of the Santa hat. Push to ears (the Oreo) into the sides
of the hat. Place 2 holly leaf sprinkles and 3 red ball sprinkles
onto the lower corner for a holly decoration. Now enjoy.
