Directions

Prepare the Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Using a hand blender, mix the eggs, sugars, and margarine. Add flour, baking powder, and orange juice.

  3. Mix well and pour into muffin pans. Bake for 25 minutes.

Prepare the Topping

  1. Beat the whip with pudding powder. When the whip is slightly stiff, add in a few drops of food coloring to match your color scheme.

  2. Continue beating until the whip is stiff and all the color is incorporated.

  3. Using any size star tip you have, pipe the whip onto the cupcake. Start on the outside, and circle your way inward, going round and round till you reach the center, and finish with a peak.

  4. Drizzle pearlized sprinkles. Place a bon bon in the center of your frosting and admire your gorgeous work.

  5. Attach a note that reads: “Homemade with love and care. So excited to join in your simcha!”

Tips:
Baking the batter in tulip muffin holders makes all the difference. It takes the look up a notch.

Tips:
If you can get ahold of French vanilla-flavored pudding powder, go for it. The flavor profile is much deeper.

Gel food coloring will yield a richer and deeper color than liquid coloring. Don’t be afraid to go generous on the coloring amount if you are going for a deep shade.
