These cute cupcakes were made for my son’s birthday. He requested marble cupcakes and I was all set to make this cake, but had to change to cupcakes at the last minute. I was a bit skeptical on how the swirls would work in a cupcake, but decided to just go ahead since kids will love the cake with or without swirls. This is a tutorial on converting the cake recipe to cupcakes.
As you can see each cupcake turned out different with respect to swirls. Many had quite distinctive swirls that were very pretty. The whipped cream frosting was mildly sweet and the kids enjoyed the cupcakes.
I probably did not swirl this cupcake enough as you can see from the picture. So take the time to swirl each one and enjoy these delicious cupcakes. Off to the tutorial.
