- Total 1 hr 40 min
- Servings 24
- Ingredients 7
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
- Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Frosting and Decorations
- 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
- Betty Crocker™ blue gel food color
- 1/4 cup Betty Crocker™ blue candy sprinkles
- 2 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), chopped
Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make, bake and cool cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes, adding almond extract with the water.
-
Step2Meanwhile, on sheet of paper, draw five-pointed star (about 2 inches wide) to use as pattern.
-
Step3In small bowl, place half of frosting. Dip toothpick into paste food color; stir food color into frosting in bowl until color is evenly distributed and desired shade. Frost 12 cupcakes with blue frosting. Frost remaining 12 cupcakes with white frosting; sprinkle blue candy sprinkles over white cupcakes.
-
Step4In small microwavable bowl, place candy coating. Microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir until melted and smooth. If necessary, microwave 10 seconds longer. Place in heavy-duty food storage plastic bag; seal bag and cut tiny hole in one bottom corner of bag.
-
Step5Place paper star pattern under large sheet of waxed paper. Squeezing bag of candy coating, trace the star on waxed paper; move pattern under waxed paper to make 12 stars. Let stars cool until set, about 5 minutes. Remove stars from waxed paper; insert 1 star in each of 12 cupcakes. Store loosely covered.
