Glow in the Dark Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp tonic water
- 6 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 3 ounce packet of Jello-O yellow or green works best
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup chilled tonic water
- 24 cupcakes
Instructions
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add ¼ cup + 1 tbsp tonic water and 4 cups confectioner’s sugar and mix until combined. Add the remaining 2 cups confectioner’s sugar and beat well.
- Place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a large, round tip.
- Pipe a large swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake. Transfer the cupcakes to the fridge for at least an hour, until the buttercream is very stiff.
- In the meantime, make the glaze. Combine the jello and boiling water and whisk until the jello has fully dissolved. Add 1 cup chilled tonic water and whisk. Allow the jello to cool to room temperature, but not so cool that it starts to set.
- Dunk the cupcakes into the glaze so that only the buttercream is getting coated. Alternatively, you can brush the glaze onto the cupcakes with a pastry brush. Place the cupcakes in the freezer until the glaze has set, then repeat 5 more times for a total of 6 layers of glaze. 6 layers will make the cupcakes glow the brightest!
- Serve the cupcakes under a blacklight and watch them glow!
