How to Make Teddy Bear Cupcakes
To make these delicious Teddy Bear Cupcakes, you start off with your favorite cake mix for chocolate cupcakes, plus whatever ingredients needed to make them. Ensure your chocolate cupcakes are cool before starting the decorating process or else you’ll have melty icing everywhere.
To help keep the decorating process as neat as possible, lay some wax paper on your working surface. (It helps keep your decorations from sticking, too.)
Cover your hands with a bit of cornstarch to avoid fondant sticking to your fingers, and roll your fondant in 24 sphere pieces measuring about ½ an inch in size.
Flatten each sphere out and shape them to resemble teddy bear ears. Keep aside on your wax paper.
Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, milk and cocoa on light speed. Gradually increase to high speed and allow for the ingredients to mix and turn smooth. Using a frosting bag and Wilton tip #233, frost each cupcake and cover the surface entirely.
Place googly eyes, one pink candy and two ears on each cupcake. If you want, you can also add a smile with black decorating frosting. We thought our bears looked cute without the smile, though!
