This month for our Martha Stewart's
Cupcakes challenge, Jess from
Cookbook Habit chose the Jumbo Cupcakes on page 133. And since this little guy was having a birthday, I decided to make them for him.
He is a big fan of Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse, and I had some awesome Mickey Mouse
sprinkles
that I couldn't wait to decorate his cupcakes with. I was super excited to make the Marshmallow Fluff filling, and I wasn't disappointed...it was so yummy. I thought the cupcakes, however, were a little dry. But it seems like a lot of the recipes that we have baked in this challenge have been dry. I didn't want to leave the tops of the cupcakes without a nice mound of frosting, so I made my go-to buttercream frosting. This made the cupcakes super rich. The best part of the cupcakes were the filling.
Here are a few shots of the party we threw for Ryan in the park by my parent's house.

So cute!! I bet he loved the cuppy.
Ys, I have found the same thing - dry. I bake the cuppys a little less and that helps a lot with Martha's cuppys. They are less dry.
Such a stinkin' cute little boy. Your cupcakes look great! I agree though, I thought they were dry too. I also enjoyed the filling.
What a cutie! I also thought these were a little dry but I think I overcooked them. I like the way yours looked with the frosting and sprinkles.
Oh he is such a cutie! Very sweet of you to make him cupcakes for the party :)
My cupcakes were dry too, which was disappointing. I had fun making them and my husband gobbled them up, even if I wasn't a big fan!
Oh that frosting looks super yummy...what a great cupcake to make for a birthday party. I'll be he loved them.
So adorable! I love little kids!
I agree, definitely dry, but milk helps!
Awww, your nephew is such a cutie. I bet he loved that cupcake, and the mickey sprinkles are adorable.
I agree the filling was great, but if I ever make these again I'm using another recipe for the cake. I wish I had topped mine with buttercream, they would have been so much better with some kind of frosting on top.
How adorable (cupcakes and baby)! I also thought these were dry - someone suggested it was because they call for butter rather than oil. In any case, they look great!
