Froggy-in-the-Water Cupcakes from Princess Tiana's Cookbook
Here is a recipe for adorable Froggy-in-the-Water Cupcakes from pages 54-55 of kids cookbook, The Princess and the Frog: Tiana's Cookbook. The Princess and the Frog DVD and Blu-ray will be released on March 16th. You can whip a batch of these Froggy cupcakes to eat while you watch the film.
INGREDIENTS:
Blue food coloring
1 cup buttercream frosting
1 dozen baked cupcakes
12 large green gumdrops
2 dozen white chocolate chips
Black decorators' icing
DIRECTIONS:
Stir drops of food coloring into the frosting until you have a shade of watery blue. Frost the cupcakes.
For each cupcake, create a pair of frog eyes by slicing a gumdrop in half. Press a white chocolate-chip tip down into the cut surface of each gumdrop half, centering it near the bottom edge. Squirt a dab of black decorators’ icing onto each chip.
Set the frog eyes on the cupcakes, gently pressing them partway into the frosting to hold them in place.
