LadyBug Cupcakes!


I made some Ladybug cupcakes the other day they turned out really good! i got the idea from a book

When i made the second batch I made the inside red with a lot of food coloring, and used chocolate Jimmie sprinkles for a funfetti effect! i think they are so awesome and Emayah really enjoyed them as well! but i forgot to take pictures before they were all gone. I made them with a simple white cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

You bake each batch at 350 for about 18-22 minutes. then let cool. I used a Wilton grass/hair tip  http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/decorating-tip-522649/  to make the grass on top and colored with leaf green Wilton food coloring gel  http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/icing-color-641985/ .The tip it when you pipe it you lift STRAIGHT UP ,its so simple! then i piped little red ladybugs and voila!
