Make These Beauty and the Beast Princess Belle Cupcakes

Seriously, the kiddo and I just share a love of adding a bit of whimsy to our lives. So, when she asked for Princess Belle cupcakes for a little Disney princess party, well, who was I to argue?!

Tips to Make Beauty and the Beast Cupcakes
- Start with your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe. If you’re anything like me, you definitely need a “no-fail” cupcake in your life, so I always fall back on my Lazy Girl cupcakes. Done right every time–as long as you can follow a basic recipe.
- I just used fondant I grabbed at my local craft store (stop judging me–that’s where I was and it was and we just found ourselves together in the checkout line), but if it helps you here’s the set of fondant sampler I snagged–the yellow is quite nice.
- If you’d rather make your fondant homemade, I found this super quick and fun recipe to make your own homemade marshmallow fondant that’s so tasty, it’s amazing.
- Always always always let your cupcakes cool to room temperature before you frost them because warm frosting is no fun. Even when the frosting is really just a layer of fondant–it melts too, you know. LOL!

Ingredients
- 12 of your favorite vanilla cupcakes
- ½ stick butter, softened
- 1 cup icing sugar

- 1-2 oz. Kelly green fondant
- 1-2 tsp red gel food coloring

- Once the icing forms semi-stiff peaks, use a spatula or knife to apply a thin layer of icing on each cupcake.
- Roll out your yellow fondant on parchment paper to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut out 12 yellow fondant circles with a 2-inch circle cookie cutter and place one on each cupcake.
- Roll out 12 small balls of green fondant about the size of a dime, then roll them out into snakes to make 12 stems.
- Press a fondant stem on each cupcake.
- Make 24 tiny balls of green fondant and pinch them into the shape of a small triangle to be the rose leaves.
- Add two leaves onto each stem on the cupcakes.
- Place 5-6 drops of red gel food coloring in your remaining frosting, then stir until the color is consistent before placing the frosting in a piping bag with Wilton frosting tip #74.
- Frost each cupcake with a small dollop of red frosting on the end of the stem to make your rose--and enjoy!
