On the weekend I made some cupcakes for a friend's Christmas dinner, I think they turned out really cute in these pastel shades of pink and blue
TIP - Look for mini Candy Canes at your local supermarket, a month before Christmas time there is normally a great range of flavours and colours
How to make Pastel Candy Christmas Cupcakes
SUPPLIES YOU NEED
- vanilla cake mix
- frosting
- food colouring
- mini candy canes
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE YOUR CANDY CANE CUPCAKES
- Mix your cupcakes to the packets instructions or use your favourite recipe and make from scratch
- Divide the mixture into 2 bowls and add food colouring so you can create the 2 tone cakes
- Cook per instructions
- If you do not have any pre-made frosting then an easy butter frosting is the best to use. Add desired food colouring to the frosting to match your candy canes and place on cooled cupcakes.
- Place some candy canes in a plastic bag and with a rolling pin, crush them to create the sprinkles for the top of the cake.
- Stick a candy cane in the top and just like magic..... yummy Xmas cupcakes for everyone to enjoy!
I used pink butternut candy canes and blue blueberry ones but next time I will use the normal peppermint ones and see how they taste. I purchased these Candy Canes from my local supermarket
HAPPY HOLIDAYS 💗
