Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me! With these fun boating cupcakes, that’s what you’ll be singing all day long! These cupcakes are so tasty and very creative! The little boats look kind of hard to make, but in reality they’re so simple.
I found these cupcakes to be very fun and made them one day for some family friends. They were going down to the lake for a couple of days and these sailboat cupcakes were a great way to let them know that we’d miss them while they were away.
Whether you’re a boating expert, just like to dunk your feet in off the dock, or simply love cupcakes, this sailboat cupcake recipe is sure to please.
Ingredients:
- Pre-made cupcakes
- Blue icing (butter cream with blue food coloring)
- Decorating Tip No. 5
- Red Icing (have fun switching up the different boat colors!)
- Corn starch
- Toothpicks
- Construction paper
- White cellophane tape
Directions:
1. Ice the pre-made cupcakes with blue icing, pulling up a little bit with each wipe of icing to create the desired “wave” effect.
2. Pipe in tip No. 5 oval boat bottom shape on the top of the cupcake (smooth with finger dipped in cornstarch). Outline the shape with tip No. 5 and pipe two more times to build up the boat sides.
3. Cut the sail shapes from construction paper and tape to the toothpick; insert into the boat on the cupcake to finish.
4. Enjoy!
Catch a wave, catch a tan, or catch a sailboat cupcake. These cupcakes are easy, adorable, and great for the marina lover in all of us. This recipe will make you wish you could whip the sail up and go out for the day. Call the office and tell them you’re out baking boat cupcakes… be back on Monday!
