Beauty and the Beast Cupcake Instructions
Bake your cupcakes in yellow cupcake liners. We made chocolate flavored cupcakes because they were requested by a special birthday girl. But, the yellow cups would stand out even better with a lighter color of cake inside. Yellow cake mix is ideal.
While your cupcakes cool, download and print the Belle Cupcake Topper template onto white card stock paper.
Cut around the Belle face and body. I left a thin white border around the image. There are 12 cupcake toppers on each page of the template. Print two pages to have the right number for a standard boxed cupcake recipe.
Tape a tooth pick onto the back of each topper with a small piece of clear Scotch tape.
Make a large batch of buttercream frosting and add yellow food coloring to make it nice and golden. Place the frosting into a frosting bag fitted with a large closed star tip.
These Belle cupcakes require a lot of frosting to build up the yellow ball gown. The cupcakes look very cute when the skirt is tall and full.
To help conserve frosting, place a large marshmallow on the center of the cupcake before you start frosting. The marshmallow takes up plenty of space in the center of the gown.
Add a little dab of frosting to the center of the cupcake and then place the marshmallow on the dot to keep it in place. The marshmallow is completely optional. You will probably need at least a double batch of frosting if you omit this step.
Frost around the marshmallow in an even, circular motion around and up until you form a nice tip. The skirt looks best when you create the entire thing in one continuous movement with the frosting tip. Don't start and stop, just keep the frosting flowing.
Sprinkle the Belle cupcakes with yellow sprinkles. Then add some sugar pearls. Don't they look cute on her dress?
Once the gowns are complete, you get to finish things off by adding Belle. Slide the toothpick into the center of the frosting skirt and a beautiful princess magically appears! My kids also loved helping with this step.
