Hey guys, it's Ro welcome to another nerdy nummies
I got so many requests from you to make something in honor of the New Avengers movie infinity war I am super excited
I wanted to make something themed so today. We are gonna be making
infinity stone cupcakes and for those of you who aren't familiar with the Infinity stones in the Marvel Universe there are six
Stones, and they each have a different power and when you put them all together
They make an Infinity Gauntlet, and that's why I got over here
So just tell the Avengers they don't need to look for them anymore or fight for them anymore. So an easy mode of
Explanation if you're not familiar with the Infinity stones in the Marvel Universe
Is each stone is a different color and has a different power and when you get them all together and put them in this glove.
It's called the Infinity Gauntlet and you have the ability to control the entire
Universe let's go through the stones the red one here is the reality stone
the yellow mind blue space
Purple power orange soul and green time okay. Okay I'm gonna set this back over here
I'll wait for the Avengers to come get it and while we're waiting. Let's make some themed cupcakes
I thought a really fun recipe would be to make some pop rock cupcakes
And decorate them to look like the different Infinity stones you get it cause the pop rocks and the stones
It's I thought it'd be cute alright
Let's get started!
The things you'll need to make these cupcakes will be half a cup of milk one and a half cups of cake flour
One cup of sugar, 2 large eggs, half a cup of butter at room temperature.
Some metallic gold cupcake liners, a fourth teaspoon of salt, one and a half teaspoons of baking powder and some pop rocks
We're gonna need about a quarter cup.
Then the things you'll need to decorate will be.
Some buttercream frosting in a piping bag fitted with a number 1a tip, some colored sanding sugar in a bunch
Of different colors will be using yellow
red purple green
blue and orange
And lastly to top our cupcakes will be using candy gems to look like the Infinity stones and again the colors will use are
yellow, red, purple, green,
blue and orange. First up to making pop rock cupcakes is mixing together our dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour in your flour
Baking powder and salt, then whisk together until well combined and set off to the side. Now in a larger bowl
We will cream together butter and sugar using an electric hand mixer
Mix together on a medium speed until it's light and fluffy this usually takes a couple minutes
this is what it looks like when it's light and fluffy now add in your eggs one at a time add the whole egg and
Mix in between each addition. We've got our dry ingredients wet ingredients and milk
Now we're gonna add them all together add a third of the dry
Mix it up, add half the milk mix it up, second third of the dry mix it up, the other half of the milk
Mix it up and the last of the dry mix it up. Our batter is almost ready
But we have to add our pop rocks before they bake
This is gonna be so cool you guys this this is gonna be so I'm really excited
Just sprinkle them in oh, and you can hear them all of the little explosions listen listen
For anyone not familiar with folding it's a little different than mixing you're just gonna
Take your spatula go underneath the batter and flip over then turn
Go underneath over and turn underneath over and turn keep doing this until they're well incorporated
Our batter is now ready our pop rocks are still popping. You can kind of hear them
It's so cool
Now we're gonna scoop the batter into the cupcake tray
Also to note the pop rocks makes the batter more airy so instead of filling each cavity
Two-thirds full like we normally do just halfway this time cupcakes are ready to bake pop them in the oven at
350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes
After your cupcakes have baked give them plenty of time to cool
Then it's time to frost just take a look at these all the pop rocks
Exploded and it looks really cool
To frost them. I have some buttercream frosting in a piping bag with a number 1a tip for a little bit more control
I'll be piping domes on the top of each cupcake once your cupcakes are frosted to cover them in the different colors of
sanding sugar
I'm only decorating 6 today one for each stone
But you can make as many cupcakes as you'd like let's start with the space stone
Yes
I think Neil deGrasse Tyson
Would be proud I like to hold the cupcake over the bowl and gently pour the sprinkles on top green
Sanding sugar all over this cupcake for the time stone orange sanding sugar for the soul stone
red sanding sugar for reality stone purple sanding sugar for the power stone and
Yellow sanding sugar for the mind stone, and now it's time for the final decoration step
Which is to add our hard candy Infinity stones.
To make these I use the recipe from the nerdy nummies cookbook
I'll put the recipe down below in the description
And I've made another video
Using this recipe so I'll put a link down below to that as well for these exact gems
I use the gem mold from my baking line, and I use the shape in the middle
Also I wanted the gems to rest a little lower, so I only fill them up halfway
Decoration is super easy just match the gems to the corresponding color cupcake
And ta-da here are the Infinity stone cupcakes that we made today a big
