pirate cupcakes
For Honors cupcakes, I started with unfrosted cupcakes from the bakery of my local grocery store. (Isn’t that the coolest thing ever? I just had to bat my eyelashes at the bakery manager and she agreed to sell me them unfrosted. Because it’s usually the frosting that makes store bought cupcakes taste gross, you’d never know that I didn’t bake them. They were quite tasty!)
Next, I made my standard powdered sugar frosting, but I used organic powdered sugar – that’s why they aren’t white/white. So mix 1 lb powdered sugar, 1 stick of butter softened (organic too) and 1 tps vanilla until the butter is incorporated. Then add enough half and half a tsp at a time to make it a nice spreadable texture.
For the eyes I used hershey’s kisses and chocolate chips. The teeth are white Good and Plentys and the nose holes are mini chocolate chips. It was so easy!
