Ingredients
Vanilla Cupcake
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter slightly softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 egg whites
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 TB vanilla extract
- 4 TB heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Cupcake Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a 12 cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate small bowl, stir together the milk and vanilla.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Reduce speed to medium-low and slowly add the egg and egg whites one at a time, mixing as you add, until creamy.
- Slowly add half the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, then the remaining flour mixture, beating until just blended after each addition.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake 18-20 minutes.
Icing Directions
- Cream the butter and vanilla, then mix in 2 cups of powdered sugar on low speed.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and slowly increase speed to medium speed.
- Mix in the heavy whipping cream until everything is well combined and frosting can hold a peak.
Decorating Directions
- Use your cookie scoop to add a mound of frosting to the top of each cooled cupcake and an offset spatula to smooth and even.
- Scoop remaining frosting into the piping bag and pipe a dollop of frosting on top of each white chocolate wafer (you will need 3 wafers per cupcake).
- Place two frosted chocolate wafers into the top/sides of the cupcake for the bear's ears.
- Place a wafer in the center of the frosted cupcake as the nose.
- Cover the entire surface of the cupcakes with white sanding sugar.
- Place two black pearl sprinkles for the eyes, and one black pearl sprinkle on top of the nose.
