hey everyone its James from fun foods and today I'm gonna show you how to make these bubble
gum cupcakes now these are amazing there's so much fun to make and you can
decorate it any way you like so keep watching and I'll show you step
by step how to make these the first thing we want to do is start with a
large bowl and inside that I have one stick of butter which is a half a cup it
should be at room temperature I melted a little bit
you shouldn't melt it it shouldn't be just have room temperature add one cup
of sugar and we just want to mix this together
all right so that didn't take long so when your sugar and your butter is mixed
together now what we want to do is add in our eggs you can put one in at a time
and at this stage I'm gonna add in my flavoring normally you'd use vanilla
extract but because we're making bubblegum cupcakes I'm gonna use this
bubblegum flavoring now I got this as some very flavorful stuff so you don't
need much in there and I'll put a link in the description below where I got
this I'm gonna put just a small drop like that like I said it's very flavorful stuff
mix it up and that's it for our wet ingredients we're gonna put that aside
we're gonna come back to it shortly for our dry ingredients I have 1/2 cups of
flour in here and I also have 2 tablespoons of baking powder we just
want to whisk this together really good
now back to our wet ingredients we're going to slowly add in our dry
ingredients to our wet ingredients and mix those in
now add in a half a cup of milk
so this steps optional I'm going to color this pink because it is bubblegum
cupcakes mix it in
there we go and at this stage we are gonna fill our cupcake liners
just have a tray of cupcake liners and I'm gonna use a big ice cream scoop ice
cream scoop to fill these you just want to fill them about 2/3 of a full
now that those are all filled up I like to tap it down a little bit just to press
in the batter before I bake them and put these in the oven at 350 degrees between
18 and 22 minutes coming along nicely shouldn't be long now now that our
cupcakes are in the oven baking we're gonna make our frosting now I just have
one stick of butter which is half a cup and this is softened at room temperature
I'm gonna mix this up really good
well that's good they've got some of that air into that butter I want to
aerate it a little bit now we're going to add some powdered sugar and I'm only
going to add about a cup at a time in another cup
it's a good idea to scrape down the sides occasionally make sure we mix
everything in nice and good now I'm going to add my flavouring and again
with the bubble gum flavoring just a small amount I'm also going to add some
light blue blue food coloring here and mix that all in now if you find your
frosting is a bit too dry you can add a little bit of milk to it now only add a
very small amount like about a half of a teaspoon and try that and see that how
that works
there you go now that our frosting is done we're going to take it put it into
a piping bag and one of the tricks I use is take a large cup and wrap your piping
bag around it makes it easy to dish out your frosting stuff doesn't fall all
over the place and it's just much easier this way so grab a good scoop full pop
it on in it's all done just pull it through we're gonna cut a rather large
hole here because we're gonna make it like a big circle on top but kind of
right about here and then you can just squeeze this through and you can use
your cup as a holder until we're ready to decorate our cupcakes all right so
when your cupcakes come out of the oven let them cool down a bit before we put
our frosting on another thing we can do while we're waiting for our cupcakes to
cool down is prepare our decorations and to do that I have one of these
decorative straws it's like pink in color I'm gonna cut it into about thirds
so I'm just gonna cut one and then half of that about doesn't have to be exact
and I have this bubble gum tape here I'm gonna pull out about six inches or so of
it
and I'm gonna take my straw that I just cut and we're gonna just kind of like do
a hole punch in it and just kind of bend it in a little bit and punch a hole in
that side I'd be careful because this tape will break bubblegum tape and just keep
doing that you may have to pull off the excess in between times just kind of
make it like an accordion and this is gonna stick into the cupcake after we're
done decorating it and it'll just give it a little extra Flair all right so now
our cupcakes have cooled down enough so I can decorate it and I'm gonna start
with one out of time and I'm gonna bring out my frosting that we made and we're
just gonna pipe in that frosting nice big circular shape like so I'm gonna put
a pink bubblegum ball right dab in the center and let's take our our little
pre-made bubblegum thingy and we can put that off to the side a bit push it in
and maybe a dash or two of sprinkles
there you go they are our bubblegum cupcakes they look amazing I can't wait
to try them well now it's time for the taste test I'm gonna give this a shot I
didn't bring any sprinkles on this one gotta have the sprinkles so I'm gonna
give a shot I'm purposely not gonna eat the ball right now because I don't want
to chew the bubble gum and eat the cupcake at the same time so I do suggest
taking that off and eating that separate but here we go
lots of bubblegum flavor in here because we did not only the cupcakes but also
the frosting mmm if you love bubblegum you're gonna love this well thanks
