Ingredients

  • 24 One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes (page 152) or White Cupcakes (page 154)
  • Swiss Meringue Buttercream (page 304)
  • 2 cups blue round candy sprinkles (nonpareils)

Method

  • Use a serrated knife to trim top of each cupcake to make level.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread each cupcake with a smooth layer of buttercream.
  • When ready to serve, lay a six-sided star cookie cutter on top of a cupcake.
  • Using a small spoon, fill inside cutter completely with sprinkles in an even layer.
  • (For best results, do not overfill, as the star may lose its shape once the cutter is removed.)
  • Carefully lift cookie cutter, and repeat with remaining cupcakes.
