You can see the moods created on top of the iced cupcake to imply that expressions are unique to us, humans: Cool faces, mild faces, wild faces, glamorous faces with pouting lips, guys with cool glasses, and some sad faces with single tears. You can set your creative ideas to take over and enjoy doing something unique and beautiful to make yours look special!
I used ready-to-roll icing in different colours to make the features. Delicious homemade butter icing (the recipe given below) is smeared liberally on all the cupcakes.
I normally bake the cupcakes on the previous day and let them cool off completely. The next day, you have all the time and energy to spare for decorating them elaborately. If you couple both on the same day, you could be too tired to launch yourself into decorating them at your heart’s desire.
So, let’s start,
You'll need the following ingredients
Ingredients Amounts
Let’s make them
Set the oven to 180 C . (Temperature conversion is given under Tips)
- Beat butter and sugar together until creamy, using an electric hand mixer (3 mins)
- Add eggs, one at a time. Make sure you beat well after each addition for 1/2 min
- Add vanilla essence, and lemon juice and beat for two rounds.
- Mix baking powder, flour, and salt together and sieve onto the cake batter, holding the sieve well above, allowing the air to escape
- Do not use the electric mixer at this point. Fold the flour gently with a wooden spoon until everything turns into a creamy batter
- Add milk and mix well
- Your cake batter is ready now
Fill the cupcake cases and bake now
- Fill the paper cupcake cases 3/4th with the batter, leaving space for the cakes to rise
- Place the cakes in the cupcake tray
- Pop it into the oven
- Bake for 13-20 min
- Insert a skewer into the middle of the cake and if it comes clean, your cake is ready
- Take the tray out of the oven and let it rest for 10 mins
- Slowly remove the cupcakes from the tray and place them on a cooling rack
- Let the cakes cool off completely
