Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes
Decorated cupcakes with a fun fall ensemble of candy pumpkins in a pumpkin patch; perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Ingredients
- your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe
- vanilla buttercream
- Americolor Soft Gel Paste Leaf Green
- Halloween Mellowcreme Pumpkins
Instructions
The Grass
- Using decorating tip #233, the grass tip, start at the edge or middle of your cupcake, holding your piping bag at a 90-degree-ish angle hover just above the cupcake, and squeeze with a gentle even pressure; releasing pressure as you pull away. The longer you squeeze as you are pulling away, the longer your grass will be. Work your way around the cupcake until the entire top is grass-covered.
The Pumpkins
- Place two Halloween Mellowcreme Pumpkins aka candy pumpkins on top of your grass-frosted cupcake. If your frosting has dried and the candy pumpkins won’t “stick” to your cupcake, put a little buttercream on the back of your pumpkin and then press onto the cupcake.
The Pumpkin Stems
- Using a disposable pastry bag fitted with decorating round tip #3, using even pressure add curly stems to your candy pumpkins; release pressure when you complete your stem and pull up on the pastry bag. You can add as many stems as you like and they can be as long as you like.
- Continue frosting until all cupcakes are Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes. Eat & Enjoy!
