Cupcake Poppers

These little cupcake poppers are an idea I found from Betty Crocker and they are a quick, easy and delicious way to add some fun to my month!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Box White Cake
• Food Coloring
• Vanilla Frosting. (My favorite recipe is here)

1.Make the cake according to directions, then separate into 4 different bowls, about 1 1/4 cups batter in each.

2.Add 5-6 drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well.

3. Spoon batter into mini cupcake tins and bake @ 350° for 8-10 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.

4. While the cupcakes are baking, separate frosting into 4 small bowls, and add 5-6 drops of food coloring to each and mix well.

5. Once the cupcakes are cool, cut off tops with a serrated knife and shamelessly eat the bottoms.

6. Pipe or spread a little color coordinated frosting onto the underside of one of the tops and then sandwich another top of the same color on top of the frosting.


Eat and Enjoy!

    LOVE this idea!!!
    Another option for the bottoms (not that there is anything wrong with the shameless eating!!), is you can make cake pops… Crumble the remaining cupcakes, mix with icing, shape into a ball, dip a lollipop stick into melted chocolate (or melted candy wafers), insert stick into ball, stick in freezer to set, dip cake ball in melted chocolate, back in freezer to set! DONE! You can google cake pops and you’ll get more thorough directions ;-)
    Can’t wait to try theses!!!

    I would totally call these colorful Whoopie Pies! If you have a “Donut Maker” pan that everyone seems to suddenly be selling, they have a whoopie/no-hole doughnut pan that would make even more without losing the bottoms.

  5. I was wandering through my local Ace Hardware this summer and came along a mini cupcake top pan. Bought that puppy and 2 more in a heartbeat. I make these all of the time :)
