HOW TO MAKE AND DECORATE CUPCAKES
Are you in the mood to make some delicious, sweet treats for this Halloween season? Well, you're in the right place! Here is how to make and decorate cupcakes in 11 simple steps.
Gather Your Supplies
To create your delicious cupcakes, you will need the following supplies:
1. Cupcake Tin
2. Large Mixing Bowl
3. Measuring Cup
4. Red Velvet (or your preferred flavor) Cupcake Mix
5. Vegetable Oil
6. Non-Stick Spray
7. Cream Cheese Frosting
8. Two Eggs
9. Sprinkles
10. Piping Bags and Tips
11. Whisk
Mix Your Ingredients
Now that you have all of your ingredients, we need to mix them. Pour all of your cupcake mix, two eggs, one cup of water, and 1/3 cup of oil into a large mixing bowl with a whisk.
Put Liners in Cupcake Pan
Once your cupcake mix is prepared, prepare the tin. Spray non-stick spray lightly onto the cupcake tin. Then, insert the cupcake liners in each hole and spray them lightly with the non-stick spray.
Put Mix Into the Liners
Next, pour your cupcake mix into the liners. Make sure to leave around 1/2 an inch of space at the top to allow the cupcakes room to rise.
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put your cupcakes on the second shelf of the oven.
Set a Timer for Twenty Five (25) Minutes
Set a timer for 25 minutes as soon as you place the cupcakes into the oven.
Bake Your Cupcakes
Bake your cupcakes for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let Your Cupcakes Chill
Once your cupcakes are fully cooked, leave them to chill for 5-10 minutes.
Put Your Icing in a Piping Bag
Put your icing in a piping bag with medium sized tip. Make sure to cut the tip of the piping bag.
Put Your Icing on the Cupcakes
Frost your cupcakes with the piping bag in the circular motion from the outside to the inside, going upwards. When you make it to the middle, finish it off by pulling the piping bag up.
Add Toppings
If you desire, add sprinkles or any other toppings to your cupcake.
