Equipment

  • 2 bowls
  • 1 round piping tip
  • 2 piping bags
  • 1 Icing spatula
  • 14 cupcake liners
  • 1 Cupcake Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Cream cheese icing
  • 1 box cake mix
  • 1 bottle Green food coloring
  • 1 bottle Yellow Food coloring

Instructions

  • Divide the frosting into two different bowls. Make sure you use more frosting on the bowl you are coloring green color as you will use more of this to cover all the cupcakes tops.
  • Add to one bowl 4 drops of green food coloring mix and keep adding more color until you achieve the desired look.
  • In the other bowl add 3 drops of yellow food coloring to the frosting, mix, and keep adding food coloring until achieving the desired color.
  • Make the cupcakes and let them cold down.Once the cupcakes are cooled, we're ready to decorate!
  • We use green frosting for the base, representing Bowser's tough exterior. Spread the green frosting all over the cupcake top.
  • Now add a layer of yellow frosting on the edge of the cupcake to represent Bowser's shell. For the shell edge, I used the round piping tip.
  • Now with the same yellow frosting let's make Bowser's spikes! Press the icing pastry tip into the cupcake, then lift outward for a spiked look. For this, I used the round piping tip.
