Thor Cupcakes for Marvel AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, one of the biggest super hero movies on the planet, EVER, just came out, and we gotta get festive, now. Y’know? Gotta do it up right ‘n stuff. This demanded we create Thor Cupcakes.
Thor Cupcakes Recipe
We got a little crazy when we saw it this weekend. No lie, we got extra with our AVENGERS costumes. Can you blame us? This movie was EPIC!
Now, maybe it’s because I just met Thor back in January, but I felt Thor Cupcakes were in order to celebrate the release of such an incredible movie. Why not, you know? (Be sure to check out my Iron Man Cupcakes while you’re here too!)
Avengers! Assemble your ingredients! (Heh.)
Prepare your red velvet mix according to the box’s directions and allow baked cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before you start decorating.
Using a mixer, beating butter slowly and gently add increments of confectioners sugar, then milk. Mix on high until your buttercream has formed, then add cocoa and red food coloring and continue mixing on high until it is completely colored.
With a piping bag and frosting tip, frost each cupcake and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper, roll out your fondant into 1/2 inch circles, dust your fingers in corn starch and mold into a rectangle. Place each rectangle down back onto the paper and paint with silver luster.
Insert a pretzel stick at the bottom of each piece of fondant (and you can break them in half if they are too long).
Place carefully on each cupcake.
Are these not crazy fantastic Thor Cupcakes?
Go full out with the release of this movie, have an AVENGERS party, throw up some superhero decorations, grab a Thor costume or maybe Black Widow. Go all out! We did!
Maybe we went a little overboard, but this movie event was WORTH IT.
Thor Cupcakes FTW!
