Avengers Endgame Party

Ingredients

  • 1 box of white cake mix, any brand
  • 1 1/4 C. water
  • 1/2 C. vegetable oil
  • 4 egg whites
  • Cupcake liners
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • White frosting, any brand
  • 12 oz package of Wilton red candy melts
  • Wilton 1M star frosting tip
  • Disposable piping bag
  • Avengers silicone mold (I suggest purchasing 2 in order to cut down on the candy making time)
  • 12 count muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the cupcake liners into the muffin wells.
  2. Combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil and egg whites mixing well.
  3. Add in the several drops of the blue gel food coloring and stir to combine.
  4. Fill each cupcake well about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Insert a toothpick into the cupcakes around 18 minutes. If it comes out clean the cupcakes are done.
  7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool.
  8. Pour the Wilton red candy melts into a microwave safe dish.
  9. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring occasionally until melted.
  10. Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into the Captain America section of the mold.
  11. Place in the fridge to set about 20 minutes.
  12. Remove from the fridge and gently pop the fists out of the silicone mold. Repeat this process until you have 16 Captain America shields total (you might want to purchase 2 molds for this purpose).
  13. Add a few drops of red food coloring to the white frosting and stir to combine.
  14. Attach the star frosting tip to the disposable piping bag and fill with red frosting.
  15. Gently squeeze the frosting from the bag and onto the top of the cupcake in a circular motion.
  16. Place a Captain America candy on top.
  17. Repeat with all cupcakes.
