Ninjago Cupcakes: A blog about recipes and tips on making Ninjago themed cupcakes.
Introduction
Ninja cupcakes are the perfect treat for any ninja lover. You can customize these cupcakes with the colors and shapes you want. When you’re making ninjago themed cupcakes, it’s important to consider how you want them to look when they come out of the oven.
Ninja heads
Now it’s time to make the Ninja heads. To do this, use a round cutter and cut out circles from your cupcakes. Take a toothpick and place it in the centre of each circle so that it stands up vertically. Then, add sprinkles for hair, using icing for eyes and mouth (you can make any smile shape you like).
Ninja faces
There are two ways to create the eyes. You can either use a toothpick or use a small round cookie cutter. If you go for the toothpick method, place it in one end of the cupcake and push it through until you reach the other side. Then take the toothpick out of your cake, turn it over and insert it back into your cake again where its other side is facing upwards this time. Once this step has been completed, pull on both ends of your little contraption until they meet in front of each other (like when making an infinity symbol with your fingers). Then remove only one end so that there is an open space between them that resembles an eye socket. Use some frosting on a small piece of parchment paper and roll it into a ball; place inside this newly formed eye socket as pupil. Repeat these steps for all four eyes!
For mouths: Use another piece of parchment paper so that when rolling out icing onto it using any sort of tool such as a spatula or butter knife will allow us easy access later on when we need to glue parts together like lips onto faces! Once rolled out thin enough (about dime sized), cut shapes from each corner so that we have four pieces total now instead two big ones! These smaller pieces will go towards making our mouth openings smaller than normal size since most people prefer eating bigger bites than those bite-size treats everyone seems so fond off these days!! Place two pieces together at 90 degrees from each other so there’s no gap between them; this creates our lip area …and then repeat for all four corners leaving only one open spot in between all 4 corners which should resemble something similar looking like our picture above under “Lips” section!!
Ninja weapons
In this section, I’m going to teach you how to make ninja weapons out of fondant. You can use a sharp knife or serrated blade to cut the weapons into shapes and a toothpick for all the details.
- Ninja Stars (fondant): For these, we’ll need 2 different colored fondants. Roll out your first color of fondant and cut it into 4 equal pieces; stack them on top of each other and roll them again until smooth. Next, take a sharp knife or serrated blade and cut out 3 small circles from one of the sides (they should be about 1/4-inch thick). Now take another piece of your white fondant and place it on top; roll this flat so that it forms an even surface with no creases or bubbles (it will give your star stability). Use toothpicks to poke holes in all 5 points so that they stay pointed when baked–you can also add some extra flourishes if you’d like! Repeat with remaining colors until finished with all 8 stars!
- Swords: Begin by rolling out 3 different colors of fondant–one yellow (or desired color), one pink/purple mixture (using only half), then dusting remaining third with cocoa powder before cutting vertically halfway through each strip leaving room at top edge for later gluing lollipop sticks inside.*
If you use these techniques, you can make ninjago themed cupcakes.
To successfully make your own Ninjago themed cupcakes, you will need the right tools and ingredients.
- The right tools:
- Use a piping bag to pipe out frosting onto the cupcakes.
- A sharp knife will help you cut out fondant shapes for decorating your cupcakes.
- The right ingredients:
- Cocoa powder – for making chocolate icing
- Butter – for making buttercream icing and caramel filling
- Eggs – for baking the cakes, as well as egg whites if you want to make marshmallow fluff! We used 2 tablespoons per white cake mix which gave us enough fluff to cover 4 large cakes total (you could also just buy pre-made marshmallow fluff instead of making it at home).
