Instructions
FOR THE CAKE:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Fill mini cupcake cups 2/3 full. The silicone mini cupcake pans that I used have a larger cupcake area than my metal mini cupcake pans, and I made some of each. The baking time varied quite a bit, with the larger ones taking 20 minutes and the smaller ones taking 12 minutes to bake. Just be careful to not overbake, or they will lose their delicious moistness. Keep an eye on them and bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool a minute or so in the pans and then remove to a rack to cool completely.
FOR THE FROSTING:
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, Add the vanilla and beat just to combine.
- Slowly add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add food coloring, a bit at a time, until you reach your desired color.
- Using a pastry bag fitted with a medium plain tip (I use Wilton No. 12), pipe frosting on each cupcake. Immediately finish by sprinkling with small white nonpareils and blue sugar pearls.
