Club Penguin Puffle Cupcakes!

I made these last year for my little cousins birthday, he is obsessed with club penguin so I thought these little Puffle Cupcakes would go down a treat.... and they sure did!! :)

Club penguin Puffles

If you know a certain someone or someones who would appreciate these cute little characters then heres how its done... all you need is:

Buns:

1 - pack of muffin mix (or cupcake mix)

125ml - Milk (or how ever much it says on the pack)

1 - Egg

Buttercream:

50g - butter

100g - icing sugar

1tsp - Vanilla extract

Food Colouring - (Red,Yellow,Blue)

Royal Icing:

1 - egg white

50g - icing sugar

1tsp - vanilla

cocoa powder

Method:

• Whisk egg whites until fluffy and add sugar, keep whisking until a really thick consistency
• Spoon a little into a seperate container and add Cocoa until really dark in colour, cover with cling film and set aside
• Spoon white mixture into an icing bag (see here how to make your own icing bag from greaseproof paper) and onto a sheet of greaseproof paper draw lots of double circles touching for the eyes (I done lots of extra ones incase I messed some up).
• Leave to dry.

• Make up the bun mixture (as suggested on the pack) and cook.

• Mix the butter and icing until smooth and fluffy, add vanilla
•  Seperate into 6 different containers and add the food colouring
• wait until buns are fully cooled then decorate with buttercream (I used a knife to decorate but if you have icing bags it mite be easier done)

• When the royal icing eyes are dry and ready to use spoon the darkened icing into an icing bag with a tiny snip at the end to create a thin line to outline the eyes and to make the pupils.
• Lift carefully off the paper with a knife and set on the buns

And thats it... if the eyes seem a bit difficult you could use mini marshmallows and icing pens instead.
