- Red and Blue M&Ms
Equipment
- Piping Bag
- Round decorating tip
- Cupcake liners
- Cupcake baking pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to recommended temperature on the cake mix box.
- Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix the cake mix according to package instructions - most mixes call for oil, eggs and water.
- Fill your cupcake liners about 3/4 way with your cupcake batter and bake for 15 minutes - or as advised n package. The cupcakes should be risen and golden, and an inserted skewer should come out clean.
- Transfer cupcakes to a wiring cooling rack to cool for about an hour.
- When cupcakes are completely cooled, place a round tip in a piping bag and fill with vanilla frosting.
- Apply an even layer of frosting on each cupcake.
- Place 6 blue M&M's in the left corner of your cupcake in a triangle shape, and use the red M&M's to make stripes on the side and under the blue M&M's.
- Eat and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have a piping bag, you can make your own with a plastic food bag, and cut off one corner for the piping tip; or you could just spread the frosting onto the cupcakes with a knife.
