How to Make Cat Cupcakes
- 1). Combine white cake frosting with food coloring to create the color desired for the cat's fur. To make a black cat, skip this step and use chocolate frosting. To make a yellow cat, combine drops of yellow food coloring with the frosting and mix. Add more food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
- 2). Spread a thick layer of cake frosting on top of each of the cupcakes, smoothing it with the icing spatula. Use 1 to 2 tbsp. of icing per cupcake.
Draw strips across the cupcakes with the brown or black decorator gel icing if you would like to create a striped cat face. - 3). Cut the licorice rope into six pieces measuring 2 to 3 inches long for each cupcake.
- 4). Press the licorice into the bottom, center portion of the cat face to resemble whiskers. Use three licorice pieces per side and angle the licorice slightly.
- 5). Place a jelly bean in the center where the licorice pieces meet to create a nose for the cat.
- 6). Affix two jelly beans of the same color above the nose and whiskers to make the cat's eyes.
- 7). Cut each cookie into quarters.
- 8). Place two quarters at the top of each cat face with the points pointing away from the cupcake to make the cat's ears.
