Cupcakes that look like pies? Cupcakes that look like polar bears and gingerbread houses? How is that possible? Well you can make it happen with three easy steps. You just icing the already made cupcakes, add the “filling” m&ms or jellybeans, and add the crust and linings over the top of the filling. It’s as easy as that and I e ncourage all of you to try it at home. I would like to give all of my credit of the decoration of these cupcakes to the book, “What’s New, Cupcake?” pictured below. This book, written by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, gave me all the steps I needed for these cupcakes plus many more. If you are to make these cupcakes, please go out and buy this book it is wonderful. Thanks and good luck!
You need: 24 cupcakes baked in silver foil liners (Reynolds) preferably use vanilla batter but if you would really like to use chocolate or that yummy Dalmatian batter from Victoria’s recipe you can 2 cans (16 ounces each) of vanilla frosting Yellow food coloring 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup each red and blue candy ( m&ms or jellybeans it does not matter) These measurements are for 24 cupcakes, so if you are making less you obviously won’t need 2 cans of icing. Just be careful because the measurements might be different.
Part One: The objective in this part is to tint the frosting to be a light brown color and spread it onto the cupcake. Add 3 or 4 drops of yellow food coloring to the white frosting. Add some cocoa powder to make the light brown color you want for the “piecrust.” Spread the now-colored icing over the cupcake, careful to leave about ¼ of the cupcake edge exposed for the pie crust. Part Two: The objective in this part is to fill the cupcakes with the filling.Arrange 25 (give-or-take) pieces of the same colored candy on top of the cupcake. Make sure you make it stick on the icing and not on the outer edge where there is no icing Do the same thing to all your cupcakes, making them whatever color you want. Red and blue will look the most realistic to actual pies, but you can make them purple if you want.
Part One: The objective in this part is to pipe the lattice crust icing onto the cupcakes for the pie-like detail. Put all of the remaining brown icing into a Ziplock freezer-weight bag and press out all the extra air. Press the icing into one corner of the bag. Cut a small about 1/8 inch corner from the corner of the bag with all the icing. To make the lattice crust, pipe 4 or 5 lines with your Ziplock bag icing over top of your candy filling, about ½ inch apart. Pipe a second set of lines over top of that, on the opposite diagonal. Part Two: The objective in this part is to pipe the beaded crust-like outer edge of your cupcake-pie. With the same Ziplock bag full of light brown icing, pipe a beaded edge around the non-icinged part of your cupcake. It should now look like this: Do this to the rest of your cupcakes.
Now for the finishing touch, arrange the cupcakes on a wire rack (if you have one, I don’t so I will just put them on a plate) and put little bake-sale signs to finish off the pie look. We have now finished our Bake-Sale Pie cupcakes!
