Makes 24 cupcakes |
Ingredients
- 1 box (18 oz.) your favorite cake mix
- 3 cups prepared vanilla frosting
- Yellow food coloring
- 24 pieces SNICKERS® Brand Miniatures
- 1/2 cup orange STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans
- 1 tube chocolate decorative frosting, with plain tip
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies
Instructions
- 1. Line the 2 muffin tins with the paper cupcake liners. Prepare the cake mix and bake according to the package directions.
- 2. Let the cupcakes cool to room temperature.
- 3. In the meantime, tint the frosting with yellow food coloring to the desired shade. Dab a teaspoon of frosting on the bottom of each SNICKERS® Brand Miniatures and place one on top of each cupcake.
- 4. Frost the top of the cupcake, covering both the cupcake and candy. This will help support the frosting beehive.
- 5. Spoon the remaining frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Using scissors, snip a small corner of the bag. Pipe the frosting in a spiral fashion, starting at the bottom of the hive and working your way up to the top.
- 6. Place jellybeans randomly around the cupcake hives, and gently squeeze the chocolate frosting in a zigzag pattern on top of them.
- 7. For the bee’s wings, place an almond slice on both sides of each jellybean.
- 8. To serve, create flower cut-outs from the construction paper. Place the flowers on a table or serving tray, put a hive on each flower, and sprinkle with M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies.
