Mermaid Cupcakes
Beautiful little mermaid cupcakes are easy to make and perfect for a mermaid party. Made with a boxed cake mix, these mermaid cupcakes are so cute and sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce boxed chocolate cake mix
- 1 ¼ cup water
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 15.6 ounce tub red frosting
- 12 ounce package turquoise candy melts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare 2 cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners.
- Prepare your milk chocolate cupcakes using the ingredients and instructions on the box. Our box called for the mix, water, eggs, and oil. Bake the cupcakes and cool them on a cooling rack completely before decorating.
- While the cupcakes are baking, let’s make our mermaid tails! Start by melting (1) 12-ounce package of turquoise candy melts according to the instructions on the package. Pour the melted candies into a piping bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of the piping bag and pipe the melted candy into the mermaid tail candy mold—place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
- Once completely cooled, let’s add red frosting to the cupcakes. Place the red frosting in a piping bag. We used a Wilton #12 piping tip to frost the tops of the cupcakes to look like the mermaid's long red hair!
- Remove the candy mold from the freezer. Gently pop each mermaid tail out of the mold. Place a mermaid tail on the top of each frosted cupcake.
- Serve and enjoy!
