Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Lucky Charms Cupcake Kit (which includes Frosting, Cereal Toppings, Cupcake Mix and Cupcake Liners)
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees for aluminum pan or 325 degrees for nonstick pan. Place paper baking cups in 12 regular-size muffin cups.
    Stir Cupcake Mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl vigorously by hand 2 minutes.
    Divide batter among muffin cups (about 3 tablespoons each). Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
    Cool 10 minutes; carefully remove from pan. Cool completely before frosting. Squeeze the frosting pouch for 10 seconds to soften (do not microwave pouch).
    Cut ½" tip from corner of frosting pouch. Squeeze about 2 teaspoons frosting on each cupcake; spread. Immediately decorate with Lucky Charms Cereal Topping so they stick to the frosting. Store loosely covered. 

Notes

TIPS: A few tips that always make cupcake making a bit easier for me. To make all of the cupcakes a uniform size, I always use a stainless steel cookie scoop for both uniformity and less mess. Make sure to let the cupcakes cool completely, otherwise, the frosting may just melt and runoff. I also squeezed all of the frosting into a small bowl and frosted the cupcakes with my angled icing spatula.
