Galaxy-Inspired Cupcake Decorating Lesson

Ingredients

• Pre-made cupcakes: These will act as the base for your galaxy design. Vanilla or chocolate cupcakes work well for this.
• Royal icing: This will act as the canvas for your galaxy design. You will need both black and white icing.
• Edible glitter: This will give your cupcakes the sparkling star effect. You will need both silver and gold glitter.
• Food coloring: You will need a selection of colors to create the galaxy effect. Blue, purple, and red work well for this.

Instructions

1. Prepare your cupcakes: Make sure your pre-made cupcakes are fully cooled before beginning to decorate them.
2. Prepare your icing: Mix your royal icing in order to get a smooth and spreadable consistency. Use food coloring to dye one batch black and leave the other batch white.
3. Apply the icing: Using a frosting knife, spread the black icing onto the cupcakes. Then, dot the white icing onto the black icing to create the look of stars in the night sky.
4. Create the galaxy effect: To create the galaxy effect, choose a few spots on the cupcake and dab a small amount of blue, purple, and red food coloring. Using a toothpick, swirl the colors to create a galaxy design.
5. Finish with glitter: Finally, sprinkle the edible glitter fragments onto the cupcakes to give the appearance of twinkling stars. Silver glitter will give a cool, distant star effect, while gold glitter will give the appearance of closer, warmer stars.
