Servings: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 12 funfetti cupcakes
- 2 sticks butter softened
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 3-4 tbsp milk
- 2 drops red gel food coloring
- 2 drops blue gel food coloring
- 6 pink bubblegum candies
- 6 blue bubblegum candies
Instructions
- Before starting the decorating cupcakes, ensure that all of them are cool. It's best to cool them on a wire rack so the frosting won't melt off.
- In a large bowl, beat together your softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, and milk with an electric mixer.
- Start on a slow speed and then gradually increase to high speed.
- Your buttercream is ready once all the ingredients are smooth and form semi-stiff peaks.
- Divide the buttercream into two bowls.
- Add red gel food coloring to one and blue gel food coloring to the other.
- Mix each buttercream well until the buttercreams are completely tinted and well blended.
- Attach the star tip to the frosting bag.
- Scoop both buttercreams into a frosting bag, keeping each color on their own sides in the frosting bag.
- Begin to frost each cupcake swirling out from the center then back up in the center to form the desired design.
- Top each cupcake with one bubblegum candy.
- Serve and enjoy!
