Planning on some Paddington Bear fun with the new movie coming out? Then you are going to LOVE these Paddington Bear Cupcakes!
As a kid I remember the Paddington Bear story and when it was announced it was coming to the big screen I was excited to share the story with my kids, and now you can purchase the Digital copy of the Paddington Movie and have a fun Paddington Party too!
Of course for any party I have to have a sweet treat, especially something that is cute! So using the new Duff Brand Cake Mix I whipped up theses super cute Paddington Bear cupcakes and don’t worry they are not as hard as the look to make 🙂
We have all seen my disasters when trying to draw a face or make a face of a character for that matter and I was not going to make myself stress out like I normally do making a face so I kept it simple, brown icing (dying the Duff brand Icing brown) and using red melting chips to make the famous Paddington Bear hat and white melting chocolate to make the eyes and the mouth area. Super easy, so if you are looking for easy and cute this is the cupcake you are going to love for your Paddington Party!
Also head on over here and you can print fun activity sheets to go along with the movie!
Paddington Bear Cupcakes
Paddington Bear Cupcakes Ingredients:
- 12 cupcakes
- 1 bag red candymelts
- 1 bag white candy melts
- 1 bag Chocolate chips
- 2Â tub white icing
- Red, yellow, green and blue food dye
- tube of black writing icing
Paddington Bear Cupcakes Supplies:
- wax paper
- 3 icing bags
- Icing tip number 233
- Icing tip number
How To Make your Paddington Bear Cupcakes:
Make your cupcakes according to the box directions if you are using a boxed cake mix to make them and then let them cool.
Get a piece of wax paper large enough to have multiple hats on it and lay it flat on the counter.
Melt your red melting candy and then fill an icing bag with the melted red candymelts.
Draw the hat shape and then fill it in for as many cupcakes as you have made. Set them aside and let the candy cool and reharden.
Melt the white chocolate melts in 30 seconds intervals in the microwave. Once melted put in an icing bag and make little white circles of white chocolate you can use any of the circle tips or if you are using the toss away ones you can skip using an icing piece and just cut the bottom so its only a small hole to pipe with. You will need to make 24 little white circles. then make 12 oval shapes with the white chocolate and take a chocolate chip and place it at the top with the flat side up (this is the mouth area and nose area and the chocolate chip is his nose). Let the chocolate reharden.
While the candy is rehardeing icing your cupcakes, I used the Duff Brand white icing and used equal parts red and yellow food coloring and then a few drops of green to get it the brown I wanted.
Start with 25 drops red, 25 drops yellow, 5 blue and 5 green. Mix well and if it is not as brown as you want it add more food coloring by doing 8 drops red, 8 drops yellow and 1 green and 1 blue until you get it to the brown that you want.
Using the icing tip number 233 and pipe the icing on top of your cupcakes to look like bear fur, if you are missing spots don’t worry about it because you just want a thin layer of icing here and we will be doing more with icing at the end. Make sure you have about 1/2 of the icing left over after you do your first round of icing.
Start by placing the white chocolate oval in the middle towards the bottom of the cupcake, then place the white circles above the mouth/nose piece, then take your red hat and put it above that. Do it for each cupcake. Then get your icing bag again with the brown icing and add more fur around the eyes, mouth/nose piece and filling in any spots that aren’t “furry”. Then using black writing icing tube draw the mouth and put black dots on the eye circles.
Tada! The famous Paddington hat on super easy to make cupcakes but they look super cute too!
