# Teddy Bear Cupcakes
Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the Buttercream Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder (for coloring, optional)
For Decoration:
- Mini chocolate cookies (like Oreos or mini chocolate wafers)
- Chocolate chips (for eyes)
- Brown or black M&M's or candy melt discs (for noses)
- Optional: edible glitter or sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. Make the Cupcake Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until everything is just combined.
3. Bake the Cupcakes:
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well until combined.
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until light and fluffy. For a chocolate buttercream, you can mix in cocoa powder to your desired color and taste.
5. Frost the Cupcakes:
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them generously with the buttercream using a spatula or a piping bag.
6. Create Teddy Bear Faces:
- Take a mini chocolate cookie and place it on top of each frosted cupcake as the head.
- For the eyes, place two chocolate chips on the cookie.
- For the nose, place a brown or black M&M or a candy melt disc just below the eyes.
- If desired, you can add optional edible glitter or sprinkles around the edges of the frosting for extra fun.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Your adorable Teddy Bear Cupcakes are ready to be enjoyed! They are perfect for parties, picnics, or a fun dessert at home.
Enjoy your baking and the delightful cupcakes! 🧁🐻
