Gummy Bear Cupcakes!!!



Super Fun...Super Tasty Gummy Bear Cupcakes!!!

I was invited to an annual summer party and I always love to bring the desserts, but this time I wanted something fun but yummy. The host of the party is a huge fan of gummy bears, which gave me an idea Gummy Bear Cupcakes!!! I love gummy bears and I love cupcakes so I thought what a great idea, I will just mix the two together, however, gummy bears are made of gelatin so you can't bake them. Well, not unless you would like your whole house smelling awful. So I decided to just use the gummy bears for decoration.

This is were my Saturday morning became super fun. I got up early and baked yellow cupcakes. After they cooled. I had my mom help with decorations. I am a super lucky person because my father is a chocolatier and he currently is chocolate dipping gummy bears so I had lots at my disposal. We made vanilla frosting then used a spatula to spread the frosting instead of pipping like a normally do. I thought the spread look would be more playful. Then we took every sprinkle color there was and used that for decorations. Once that was done all we had to do was place the gummy bears on the cupcakes and that's it. Super easy and if you are running low on time and don't want to spend a lot of time making batter from scratch or frosting. You can purchase a cake mix and jar frosting, it will work just as well. Hope everyone gets to enjoy this as much as I did.
