Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cupcake
- 1 batch chocolate cupcake batter (recipe of choice)
Chocolate Buttercream
- 1 batch chocolate buttercream frosting (recipe of choice)
Decorations
- 1 cup M&M’s Fall Harvest Milk Chocolate Candies
- 1 cup M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies
Instructions
- Prepare the cupcakes: Bake your chocolate cupcakes according to your preferred chocolate cupcake recipe and allow them to cool completely before decorating.
- Pipe the frosting: Using a disposable pastry bag fitted with a 2A round decorating tip, or alternatively a knife, offset spatula, or the corner of a plastic sandwich baggie snipped off, pipe a small blob of chocolate buttercream onto the center of each mini cupcake.
- Decorate with M&M’s: Gently press one M&M into the center of the chocolate frosting blob. Next, arrange six M&M’s around this center candy to form the petals of a daisy flower.
- Serve and enjoy: Once decorated, allow the frosting to set slightly if desired, then serve your festive Fall Daisy Mini Cupcakes and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use either M&M’s Fall Harvest or regular M&M’s candies. The recipe uses regular M&M’s for the orange centers and Fall Harvest M&M’s for the petals.
- If you do not have a piping bag, a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut works well for piping the frosting.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting the buttercream.
- The chocolate cupcake and buttercream recipes can be any preferred recipes or store-bought mixes for convenience.
