Cow cupcakes look like a cute little cow from a vanilla-flavored cake mix or fondant. It’s crucial to not only use the best ingredients to make your cupcakes as delicious as possible but also use a high-quality mixer or food processor. Using any less can cause an inconsistent texture and missing chunks of butter or chocolate that can ruin the consistency of the batter.
Ingredients
- 1 package of Devil’s Food Cake Mix (regular size)
- food coloring
- 1 can vanilla frosting paste
Directions
- Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups 1/2 full with batter. Bake at 350°F for 19–21 minutes, or until done. Cool completely before frosting cupcakes with frosting paste tinted black.
- Use a white face-shaped mixture to put on cupcakes and make the eyes and nose. 1/4 cup of frosting with the rubber spatula and spread black frosting over the face-shaped mixture.
- Finally, use chocolate chips for eyebrows and lips to make the mouth. Microchips can be used to make the pupils in the eye.
- Fill the cupcake with vanilla frosting to cover it completely. If desired, place a chocolate chip for the nose or a piece of chocolate for the pupil on top of the cupcake. Place another chocolate chip for an ear or use a mini-chocolate bar for nipples, so you can mix and match as many pieces as you like to create a cow look.
Tips
- Chocolate or devil’s food cake mix, or make your own with cocoa powder in a homemade cake batter.
- Use 1 can of red frosting or 1/4 cup of chocolate chips melted in the microwave for consistency to achieve better color and texture.
Use black frosting to create features.
