Neon Paint Splatter Cupcakes


These cupcakes came out so much better than anticipated. I'm always looking for new whimsical recipes for my little toddler, so when i came across these very colorful cupcakes I had to make them for him. I was so drilled to see the smile in his face when he seen all the bright colors, made me so happy!! I got the idea from
one of  my favorite youtube channels. I changed  quite a bit for my liking. I made the batter from scratch and my icing colors came out a little different but you get the idea. Now lets get our aprons on and lets get baking!!

(for the cupcakes)

  • 1 1/2 cups a/p flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 milk


(for the glaze)

  • 1/2 dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream


(for the frosting)

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 2 cups powder sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • electric color gel. I used Duff Goldman color gel 



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with liners

Step.1
In a medium bowl sift the flour,baking powder and salt.

Step.2
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.

Step.3
Add the egg one at a time, and the vanilla. Add the milk and flour taking turns one third at a time, till mixed well.

step.4
Divide the batter in six bowls and color. spoon one color at a time till you have one third of the way up of batter in each.

Step.5
Bake cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes. let cool.

Step.6
In a small heat proof bowl mix the chocolate and cream melt in the microwave for 30 seconds or till melted.
Dip each cupcake in the chocolate. Set aside.

Step.7
Mix butter, powder sugar and vanilla till well blended.

Step.8
In six bowls separate frosting in equal amounts and color your frosting to your liking. note. save some to splatter on top for that paint splatter look. Have fun :)
