Product Information

Put the mixing bowl on top of the saucepan (double boiler method) Don’t let the mixing bowl touch the water otherwise you’ll end up with scrambled eggs! As I mentioned the chocolate cupcake recipe is super easy. It really does only takes around 10 minutes to make the cupcake batter and they bake in 20 mins in the oven. Note: I made one bowl of frosting and coloured it pale blue to match Alice in Wonderland's dress. I used half of the frosting for Alice and then added more blue gel to make it darker for Cinderella. I hope you enjoy making these Disney Princess Cupcakes as much as I did. They make such beautiful centrepieces and are brilliant for a Disney themed party or special birthday. Keep beating until the butter and egg whites come together, and that’s when the magic happens. You’ll end up with the silkiest buttercream you’ve ever seen.

Use a handheld whisk and stir continuously for about 4 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. You can test it by rubbing the mixture with your fingers. When it feels smooth the sugar has dissolved. Princess cupcakes make an incredible centrepiece for a Disney themed birthday party. Having two daughters, I've made so many themed cakes and sweet treats over the years but nothing lights up a little girl's face more than her favourite Disney Princesses sitting perched atop a cupcake. Making swiss meringue buttercream can seem like a bit of a faff because there's an extra step when you heat the egg whites and sugar together. It is so worth it though! If you follow my recipe you will end up with amazing frosting and I know you'll be delighted with the results. What You Need For the chocolate cupcakes

Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Step Four: Add the butter a tablespoon at a time, once all the butter has been added your mixture will have changed from glossy white and will probably look like it’s split. Fill the cupcake cases about half full and bake in the centre of the oven for 20 mins or until the cupcake feels springy to the touch. Leave to cool completely while you make the frosting. Pipe the swiss meringue buttercream on top of the cupcakes. To get frilly frosting, slowly pipe a swirl on to the cupcake and swirl upwards and inwards. Step Two: Fill a large saucepan with a couple of inches of water and put the saucepan on the stove over a low heat.

Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter into a mixing bowl. Beat on a low speed using a handheld electric or stand mixer until combined.

Step One: Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 2D piping nozzle. (Unless you have several piping tips, you'll have to do this one colour at a time and wash the nozzle each time.) Kids go crazy for the Disney figures! It's a nice idea to make a cupcake as a party favour, it always goes down well when the recipient gets to keep her favourite princess.
