Step 1: Prepare the Buttercream

Mix 500 grams of mix with 500 ml of water in a bowl. Then let it rest for an hour. Beat 600 grams of butter for 2 minutes. Add half of the softened butter to the mixture and mix until the butter is fully incorporated. Add the rest of the butter and mix for another 5 minutes on high speed.

Step 2: Prepare the FunCakes Cupcake Mix

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (hot air oven 160 °C). The Ingredients should be at room temperature. Mix 500 g mix, 250 g butter and 250 g eggs (5 pieces). Mix on low speed for 4 minutes until a smooth batter forms. Line a muffin tin with paper baking cups. Using an ice cream scoop, fill the molds halfway with the batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until done. Then let them cool on a cooling rack.

Tip: Want the top to be a little flatter? Then you can very briefly press a cutting board onto the top of the cupcakes. Do this only briefly, though!

Step 3: Color the buttercream

Make 3 trays and divide the buttercream. Color 1 tray with the RD ProGel color Orange, 1 tray with the RD ProGel color Pink and the last tray with the RD ProGel color Aqua Blue. Fill 4 piping bags with the different colors. 2 piping bags will be the same color. Another color can be added as desired, making as many as 4 different colors.

Put the piping nozzles 1M, 4B, 6B and 21 in the piping bags and fill the piping bags with the colored buttercream.

Step 4: Decorate the Spring Cupcakes

Using nozzle 1M, make the swirls on the cupcakes. For the small stars make them by using nozzle 4B. For the big stars use nozzle 6B. For the wavy tufts use nozzle 21. Finally sprinkle some Musket seeds on top. Decorate the cupcakes as you like!

Step 5: Enjoy your delicious Spring Cupcakes!
