Cotton Candy Cupcakes

Pin to Pinterest

Not only are these bright and fun just like a cloud of cotton candy, but they taste just like cotton candy! We used cotton candy flavoring and food coloring to make these cupcakes perfect for a birthday party, after school celebration or any ole reason to have something yum!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Sticks softened salted butter
2/3 Cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoons Lorann cotton candy flavoring
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup milk
1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
1 can of vanilla frosting
Pink, blue, and purple gel food coloring

Materials:

Large mixing bowl
Baking cups
Cupcake pan
Mixing bowl
Hand or stand mixer
Measuring cups
3 small mixing bowls
4 decorating bags
Decorating tip kit-large star tip

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl beat together your butter and sugar until it has a whipped texture (about 1 minute).
Mix in your eggs and milk.
Now mix in your flour and baking soda.
Once your batter is mixed, mix in your cotton candy flavoring.
Separate your batter into 3 separate bowls, add 2 drops of food coloring to each bowl to make 3 separate colors.
Scoop in 1 Tablespoon of each color batter to each baking cup.
Bake for 20 minutes then let cool.
While your cupcakes are cooling, separate your frosting to 3 separate bowls, and add 2 drops of food coloring to each bowl to make 3 separate colors.
Scoop each color into a different decorating bag and cut the tips off the bags.
Remove the ring from your coupler base and drop the coupler into a empty decorating bag, cut the tip off the bag, and place your star tip onto the coupler, then place the ring back onto the bag.
Place your 3 frosting filled bags into the empty bag and twist the top.
Starting on the outside of your cupcakes, begin frosting in a swirl to the center of your cupcakes

You likely have seen many of our Homemade Playdough recipes. We have an Essential Oils Playdough Recipe , many love our Scented JELL-O Playdough Recipe, and you might have enjoyed our Finding Dory Homemade Playdough. Whatever your blend, we have a fun idea to celebrate. In fact, today is my sweet girl’s birthday, so this recipe is with the inspiration of her – Birthday Cake-Scented Homemade Playdough.

Happy birthday sweet girl!

Birthday Cake-Scented Homemade Playdough

Supplies:

2 cups water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
Funfetti sprinkles
Birthday candles
Sugared flowers
Cupcake wrappers

Directions:

Pour the water, oil and vanilla extract into a Dutch oven or large sauce pan and whisk to combine. Add the flour, salt and cream of tartar and stir until you work out all of the flour lumps.
Continue to stir over medium heat until a stiff ball of dough forms (this normally takes about 3-4 minutes). It will look like a firm ball of mashed potatoes.
Remove the dough from the heat and place on a level workspace for easier kneading. Knead for several minutes or until the playdough is soft and smooth. Enjoy the sweet aroma of vanilla birthday cake!
This birthday cake-scented Playdough can be shaped into mini cakes or cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles, candles and sugared flowers for hours of fun and creative bakery fun!
Enjoy and Happy Birthday!

Don’t forget Frugal Coupon Living has a fun You Tube Video on How to Make Homemade Playdough. The video below does not add the vanilla extract, but you can add it on your own. Also consider using Essential Oils like this Essential Oils Playdough Recipe
