Minecraft Sword Pull-Apart Cupcake Cake
Minecraft Sword Pull-Apart Cupcake Cake
Crustable Buttercream
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¼ cup shortening (I used Crisco)
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- gel food coloring
- 2-3 tablespoon dark chocolate cocoa powder
Frosting
- In your stand mixer, whip together the butter and shortening until combined.
- Add the vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar and mix until incorporated.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the heavy cream. Whip until smooth.
- If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon more cream until you reach your desired consistency.
- Whip on high for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Reserve half the frosting for the brown and set aside.
- Add a SMALL amount of blue gel coloring to the remaining white and whip until combined.
- Decorating the 6 light blue cupcakes.
- Add more gel coloring until you get a deep dark turquoise blue and whip until combined. Let the color sit in the frosting for 5-10 minutes before piping, it will turn deep and dark in color.
Brown cupcakes
- Add 2-3 tablespoon dark chocolate cocoa powder to the reserved frosting and whip until combined.
- If the frosting is too stiff, add a small splash of heavy cream to slightly loosen.
- Allow the frosting to set for 5 minutes to deepen in color.
15 cupcakes should be in solid gold liners not 9. 20 should be in black.
This look so cute! AMAZING. I like it. Can't wait try it! Thanks for sharing!
OMIGOD this looks amazing! Wow, you are super talented, I suck at anything like this – I’m still going to give it a go though, but I doubt it will be half as cool haha! H x
So lovely and very easy to make! Thank you for sharing!
Great recipe - a hit every time. Took on the tips to add the egg white and yolk separately, also to turn midway through cooking...which made the cupcakes way fluffier!
I cannot wait to try this!! Question: does anyone else have issues with the cake in cupcake liners sticking to the liner??
Yes! That usually happens with poorly made liners. I'd suggest grease proof liners from Sweets & Treats Boutique.
What size board does this fit?
@Sierra, did you find a board to fit it? I'm currently trying to figure that out
@Sierra, this is my question too! Did you get an answer?
What piping tip does this use?
Hello, I'm doing this exactly with same number of cupcakes. How big is that board you have pictured? Thanks!
