You can apply the decorating technique in this tutorial to any kind of cupcake you’d like! I make this recipe with vanilla cupcakes, but you could easily make chocolate cupcakes, funfetti cupcakes, Red Velvet or any cupcake you prefer. What Frosting Should I Use? Next, add a smaller dollop of white icing on top of the pink frosting for each cupcake. Use a butter knife or an icing spatula to flatten the top.

To increase the whiteness of your buttercream, add a drop of purple food coloring to neutralize the yolk in the butter and use a light vanilla extract instead of browning.Once your buttercream is smooth, you can change the paddle attachment and let mix on low heat for 15 minutes to reduce bubbles in the buttercream (optional). I wanted to do something a little more special for the vanilla cupcake because this fabulous unicorn cupcake icing deserves that. Don’t worry, the steps are easy to follow. Make the batter. Cream sugar together with oil, eggs, and vanilla, followed by sour cream. Next, combine the dry ingredients separately. Add the mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the milk until combined. The batter will be on the thinner side, so make sure that you stir the batter well from bottom to top after mixing.

Why You’ll Love This Cupcake Recipe Ever wondered how to make two tone frosting? With Cake Décor’s range of striped frostings you don’t need special equipment to make beautiful multi-coloured swirls on your cupcakes.

When you’ve finished your white frosting sections, simply add a little bit of pink food coloring to the bowl of frosting and continue like before.

Portion and bake. Portion the cupcake batter between the wells of a lined cupcake pan. Bake at 350ºF for 14-16 minutes, then take the cupcakes out and leave them to cool. They’ll need to be at room temperature before you go ahead with frosting them. If applying sprinkles, do so immediately rotating the pretzel rods to coat all sides. Larger sprinkles work best if placed individually. To get the most out of your tube, squeeze from the top and fold down the tube (like you would a tube of toothpaste!) to keep your swirls even as you go oz unsalted butter at room temperature. You can use salted butter, but it will affect the taste and you have to leave out the extra salt. To color your frosting bright, unicorn-themed colors, you’ll need good quality food-grade dyes. I recommend using gel food dyes, like the ones from Wilton Color Right or AmeriColor. Gel dyes are more potent than traditional food coloring (like the kind you find in supermarkets) and won’t water down your buttercream. See my how-to guide for coloring frosting, linked above, for details. Tools You’ll Need for DecoratingIn a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and Kosher salt. Set aside. Gradually add the confectioner's sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Combine completely before each addition. Make sure the frosting is completely smooth before mixing gel food coloring in. Split the frosting into three separate bowls and use the gel food coloring to make pink and blue frosting. Start with 1-2 drops at a time and add more as needed to get desired color. Add purple if the colors are too warm. Leave the third bowl of frosting uncolored, it will already have a yellow tint from the egg yolks.
