Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 batch Easy Chocolate Cupcakes OR
- 1 batch Easy Vanilla Cupcakes OR
- any other recipe or box mix you like
Frosting
- 1 batch Fresh Strawberry Buttercream OR
- Any other frosting you like
- red gel food colouring (optional)
Decoration
- 12 mini Oreos
- Bow mold (I used the medium sized bow from this set)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or coloured melting wafer)
- 12 polka dot cupcake liners (optional)
Instructions
- Make your cupcakes according to the instructions and allow to fully cool. Keep in mind, if you're using a box mix, they typically make 24 cupcakes, not 12. You'll need 1 mini Oreo and 1 bow per cupcake.
- While your cupcakes cool, make your frosting according to the directions. (*See notes regarding food colouring) Add the frosting into a piping bag with the piping tip you like. I used a 1M tip. Set aside.
- To make the bows, add your white chocolate or melting wafers to a microwave safe dish. Heat in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring in between.
- Then using a small spoon, add the white chocolate to the bow mold so it goes to the top of the mold. Using a toothpick or small paintbrush, pop any air bubbles. Tap the mold on the counter a few times to ensure the chocolate gets in all the crevices and pop any more air bubbles that surface.
- Put the mold in the fridge for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set. Then pop the bows out and put them in a clean dish and store in the fridge until you need them. Repeat this until you have 12 bows, or more if you need more.
- Take 12 mini Oreos and twist them apart. Using a butter knife, scrape off the filling. Set these aside.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe large swirls on top like in the pictures above. Then add half of an oreo on the left top side and right top side. Make your you leave enough space for the bow to fit between. Then add the bow in front of the ears so it just partially covers them, like in the pictures above. Repeat this 11 more times and that's it. Store in an airtight container until you're ready to eat and enjoy!
Notes
*I used my fresh strawberry buttercream recipe in these pictures and didn't use food colouring. If you want the frosting more pink, you'll need to add red food colouring.
