How to Make Frog Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and shortening until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the green frosting.
- Use chocolate chips to create frog eyes and candy melts or mini chocolate chips for frog spots. A small piece of a pretzel can serve as the frog's mouth.
