How fun are these cupcakes? Filled with a cake ball gives everyone a little surprise! Topped with red, white and blue bursts makes this cupcake a must at your next Memorial Day or 4th of July Celebration!
I used boxed white cake mix and homemade butter frosting for display purposes only. Next time I make these cupcakes for a party I’ll do lemon cake balls and a strawberry cupcakes. TIP: I recommend using homemade frosting the store bought doesn’t hold up as well. Makes approximately 24 cupcakes. Depends on the size of cake balls.
I’m Stuck In You Cupcake How To:
Ingredients
2 white cake mixes (also ingredients listed on the box)
1 container of store bought white frosting
butter frosting (double recipe)
red food coloring
blue food coloring
24-cupcake liners
Directions
Make ONE cake mix as directed on the box. Separate batter. One into a round cake pan and the other into a bowl. Color with blue food coloring and pour into another round cake pan. Bake as directed. Cool completely. When cooled crumble the cakes. Keep them in separate bowls. TIP: I peeled the bottom and top layer off in order to get only the blue and white colors.
Add the store bought frosting to the white and the blue cake crumbs. Only add enough so that when the cake is picked up it can be formed. You won’t need the whole container but most of it.
Form the blue cake into small balls using about 1 teaspoon of cake. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Using about a tablespoon of white cake, flatten the cake in the palm of your hand and work the white cake around the blue cake.
Once all the balls are covered, freeze again for 30 minutes. In the mean time make the cupcake batter following the directions on the box.
Add one small scoop of batter into the cupcake liners.
Place the cake ball in the center.
Fill the cupcake tin with enough cake batter to cover the cake ball.
Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes. Cool completely. While cooling make the butter frosting. Once the cupcakes are cooled begin frosting.
A peek inside!
Use the “grass” tip. TIP: I had 3 tips and 3 disposable piping bags. This makes the process so much easier. No having to stop and clean before moving on to another color.
Start with blue. Using the press and pulling motion make on pass around the outside on the top of the cupcake. Then go around again to make sure the holes have been filled and their is enough height.
White layer.
