Cupcakes de sirena

Ingredientes

• 1 15.25 ounce boxed chocolate cake mix
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 15.6 ounce tub red frosting
• 12 ounce package turquoise candy melts

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare 2 cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners.

2. 2

   Prepare your milk chocolate cupcakes using the ingredients and instructions on the box. Our box called for the mix, water, eggs, and oil. Bake the cupcakes and cool them on a cooling rack completely before decorating.

3. 3

   While the cupcakes are baking, let’s make our mermaid tails! Start by melting (1) 12-ounce package of turquoise candy melts according to the instructions on the package. Pour the melted candies into a piping bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of the piping bag and pipe the melted candy into the mermaid tail candy mold—place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.

4. 4

   Once completely cooled, let’s add red frosting to the cupcakes. Place the red frosting in a piping bag. We used a Wilton #12 piping tip to frost the tops of the cupcakes to look like the mermaid's long red hair!

5. 5

   Remove the candy mold from the freezer. Gently pop each mermaid tail out of the mold. Place a mermaid tail on the top of each frosted cupcake.

   Serve and enjoy!
