So tomorrow is fathers day and I decided to make these for dad! 🙂 A whole “dinner” just for him!! haha. I also added “corn” into my “dinner”. *They would be perfect for April Fool’s Day as well*
Want to know how to create these awesome cupcakes yourself? Keep reading!
What you Need for each:
First off you need six cupcakes and a aluminum pan that hold six cupcakes. Icing them all with white icing except for the ‘peas and carrot cupcake”. Ice that one in green 🙂
Mashed Potatoes
You Need:
1 yellow fruit chew, such as Laffy Taffys or Starbursts, cut into a 1-inch square
3 tablespoons Vanilla Frosting
1/2 tablespoon store-bought caramel sauce
3 tablespoons Vanilla Frosting
1/2 tablespoon store-bought caramel sauce
What you need to do:
Spread vanilla frosting on 1 cupcake, mounding it slightly. Use a small spoon to create a well in the center of the frosting. Place cupcake in aluminum baking tray. Place yellow fruit chew in the well at an angle. (I used the heat of my hand to bend the sides down to look like melting butter). Drizzle caramel sauce on top of cupcake so that it fills the well and spills over like gravy.
Corn:
What You Need:
10 yellow fruit chew, such as Laffy Taffys or Starbursts, each cut into a 4 triangles
3 tablespoons Vanilla Frosting
What to do:
Mold each triangle of candy into a corn shape with your hand and stick onto the icing!
Chicken Drumsticks
What you need:
1/4 cup white chocolate melting wafers, melted
1 cup Vanilla Frosting
2 plain store-bought doughnut holes
1 cup cornflake crumbs
1 cup Vanilla Frosting
2 plain store-bought doughnut holes
1 cup cornflake crumbs
What you need to do:
To make the drumsticks: Place the bone template on a baking sheet. (You can get that here)
Cover with parchment paper; set aside. Place melted chocolate into a resealable plastic bag and snip a 1/8-inch corner from the bag. Following the bone template, pipe an outline onto the parchment paper. Fill the bone in with chocolate and lightly tap pan to smooth top of chocolate. Repeat process 2 times. Refrigerate until firm, about 5 minutes.
Spread vanilla frosting on top of 2 cupcakes, mounding it slightly.
Place 1 doughnut hole on top of each cupcake. Spread frosting over the doughnut hole until it is smooth and covered.
Place cornflake crumbs in a medium bowl. Gently press frosted cupcakes in crumbs to cover completely. Place cupcakes in a 6-cup disposable aluminum cupcake baking tray.
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit in the top of each crumbed doughnut hole. Carefully peel 1 chocolate bone from the parchment paper and insert the pointed end into one of the slits. Repeat with remaining bone and cupcake.
Chocolate Pudding
3 tablespoons Chocolate Frosting
1 teaspoon colored sprinkles
1 teaspoon colored sprinkles
Peas and Carrots
What you need:
Orange fruit chews, Starburst, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons Vanilla Frosting
Green gel food coloring
2 tablespoons hard green candies, such as Runts
