I decided to make this cupcake for Little Flowers Wreath I ~ St. Catherine of Siena and the virtue of faith. I found the idea at Skip To My Lou.
SUPPLIES:
- yellow cake mix
- buttercream frosting
- chocolate frosting
- chocolate puff cereal
- cupcake liners
- Golden Yellow gel icing color
- star tip for icing
DIRECTIONS:
Bake cupcakes as desired. I used a box mix of yellow cake.
Frost the middle of the cake with chocolate frosting.
Dip the frosted cupcake into chocolate puff cereal. Save this step for later if you plan to refrigerate the cupcake. If not, the cereal will loose it’s crunch and become stale.
Using a star tip, frost around the chocolate top of the cupcake with buttercream frosting that has been dyed yellow using Golden Yellow gel icing color.
Here is a great buttercream frosting recipe. 1 batch is enough for approximately 36 cupcakes.
I absolutely LOVE all of these ideas for teaching young ladies to be modest and beautiful women of God. Do you come up with the topics/saints yourself or is there a resource you use for your lessons??
Thanks!
