Teddy Bear Cupcakes Recipe
Perfect for little kiddos, these teddy bear cupcakes are great for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 12 of your favorite chocolate cupcakes
- 4 oz chocolate fondant (or, white fondant colored with brown gel food coloring)
- Pink decorating frosting
- Cornstarch for your fingers
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- Candy googly eyes
- pink candies
- Black decorating frosting
Instructions
- Ensure your chocolate cupcakes are cool before starting the decorating process. Lay some wax paper on your working surface.
- Cover your hands with a bit of cornstarch to avoid fondant sticking to your fingers. Roll your fondant in 24 sphere pieces – 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!
