Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Cupcakes
Step 1: Make a batch of cupcakes. You can use a cake box mix, we have all the instructions you’ll need to make them taste just like homemade right here. Or you can make them from scratch with our yummy Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes recipe. We used chocolate cupcakes but Vanilla Cupcakes would taste great too. We used dark pink cupcake liners to represent Peppa’s dress.
How to Make the Frosting
Step 2: The key to these delicious cupcakes is our Best Buttercream Frosting recipe. It is light and creamy and buttery and super delicious! You will find the recipe and directions here. One batch of frosting will be enough to frost 18 cupcakes. Once you have the frosting made, split it into thirds. One portion will be used to frost the cupcakes, the other two will be in decorating bags and will be used decorate the cupcakes. So the portions will not be equal. We split up the frosting as follows:
Pink: 1 1/3 cups
Bright Pink : 1/3 cups
Red: 1/3 cup
Step 3: Tint the butter cream frosting Pink, Bright Pink and Red. We used Wilton Color Right Food Coloring in the follow formulas:
- Light Pink (used to frost the cupcakes) – 2 drops of Wilton Color Right Pink Food coloring
- Medium Pink (used to outline the Peppa Pig Cookie) – 4 drops of Wilton Color Right Pink Food Coloring
- Red (used for Peppa Pig’s mouth, cheek, and nose) – 7 drops of Red food coloring and 3 drops of Crimson food coloring.
Preparing the Marshmallows and Sugar Wafer Cookies
Step 4: We used Mini Marshmallows to create Peppa’s ears. We sliced them in half diagonally. You’ll get two ears out of every mini marshmallow.
Step 5: We used Pink Sugar Wafers to create Peppa’s snout. We cut each one in half, and then round off the edges of one side with a sharp knife. You will need one of these for each cupcake.
How to create the Peppa Pig Cupcake
Step 6: Once the cupcakes cooled, we cut a slit in the cupcake for the cookie snout.
Step 7: Two Sisters Tip: before you put the cookie in the slit in the cupcake, frost that area of the cupcake. It’s too hard to do it after the cookie is already attached to the cupcake and you need the frosting underneath the cookie to prop it up.
Step 8: Slip the pink wafer cookie into the slit on the cupcake. It will rest on the frosting.
Step 9: Use a knife to frost the rest of the cupcake with a generous amount of light pink frosting.
Step 10: Smooth the frosting over the whole cupcake to even it out.
Step 11: Add a tiny dollop of frosting on the sticky sides of the cut mini marshmallows.
Step 12: Stick the ears onto the top of the cupcake, frosting side up.
Step 13: Now add the Wilton Candy Eyeballs.
Steps 14 and 15: We took the medium pink frosting and put it into a piping bag with a small Wilton #3 Decorating tip, and then we outlined the entire face and around the eyes.
Step 16: Finally, we used the red frosting to make Peppa’s smile, the blush on her cheek, and her nostrils.
