Best Teddy Bear Cupcakes Recipes

TEDDY BEAR CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make sure you cupcakes are completely cool before starting the decorating process! Lay some wax paper on your working surface to keep everything organized.
• Cover your hands with a bit of cornstarch to avoid fondant sticking to your fingers. Roll your fondant in 24 round pieces - about ½ an inch in size. This will make two ears for each bear.
• Flatten each circle and shape them to resemble teddy bear ears. Lay the teddy bear ears on your wax paper as you make them.
• Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioner sugar, milk and cocoa starting on a low speed. Gradually increase to high speed until the ingredients mix and become smooth.
• Using a frosting bag and Wilton tip #233, frost each cupcake. Cover the cupcake top entirely.
• Place googly eyes, one pink candy and two ears on each cupcake. You can also add a smile with black or pink frosting, but they look cute without too!
