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!

1 1/2 Sticks softened salted butter
2/3 Cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoons Lorann cotton candy flavoring

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.
