- cupcake mix Vanilla
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temp
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- candies Sour Peach Gummy Rings
- candies Gumdrop, red and green
- candies Spearmint Leaves
- mini chocolate chips
Method
- For the cupcakes, prepare your vanilla cupcakes according to the box directions.
- For the frosting, whip the cream on high speed (1-2 minutes) until thick, fluffy and spreadable.
- In a second mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar (start on low speed), then beat in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix.
- Tint your frosting with blue coloring until the desired color.
- Keep it covered in the fridge until ready to use on your cupcakes.
- When cupcakes have cooled, frost the cupcakes.
- For each cupcake decoration, slice off and discard the bottom half of a red gumdrop. Place the gumdrop top on the center of a Gummy Ring to create a turtle shell.
- Set the shell atop the cupcake, pressing down slightly to stick it in place.
- For fins, slice a Spearmint Leaves candy in half. Then use an oval fondant cutter to cut each half into two pieces.
- Use the outer pieces for the front fins and the inner pieces for the hind fins.
- For the head, use a kitchen skewer or toothpick to poke eye holes in the sides of a green gumdrop.
- Press a mini chocolate chip into each hole, using a dab of white icing to help hold it in place.
- Set the head in place, again pressing down slightly so that it sticks to the frosting.
