Barbies Fresh And Flirty New York Night Out Cupcake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, gluten-free baking mix, cocoa powder and salt and mix on low speed until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, waiting until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the milk, oil and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Turn the mixer to low and slowly pour in 1 cup hot water, making sure it is evenly incorporated into the batter.
• Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full with the batter and bake until the top of each cupcake is slightly springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Immediately turn the cupcakes out of the pans onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
• For the chocolate ganache: Put the cream in a saucepot and heat to a scald over medium heat. Do not boil!
• Put the chocolate in a mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let it sit a moment and then gently stir to combine and melt the chocolate. Set aside to cool and thicken up slightly. The ganache can be made several days ahead of time and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• For the caramel corn: Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Spread the popcorn out on the baking sheet and carefully pick out and discard any unpopped kernels.
• In a saucepot, bring the butter, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Stirring constantly, boil until the mixture thickens and darkens to the color of peanut butter. Just before the mixture starts to smoke, quickly pour it over the popcorn on the baking sheet. Using two spatulas, quickly toss the popcorn in the caramel to coat the corn, and spread it out on the baking sheet. Set aside to cool completely, and then break up into pieces.
• For the marshmallow creme mascarpone frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer using a whisk attachment, combine the marshmallow creme, mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste and salt and whisk on low speed until there are no lumps and all the ingredients are combined. Turn to medium-high speed and whip to medium-firm peaks.
• Fit an 18-inch piping bag with a round tip and twist and hold the bag right by the tip to prevent the frosting from leaking out. Fold the top of the piping bag over your hand and spoon the frosting into the bag.
• To assemble, dip each cupcake in the chocolate ganache, roll in the caramel corn pieces to create a crunchy shell, top with the marshmallow creme mascarpone frosting and drizzle with more chocolate ganache. Garnish with a piece of caramel corn

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake or muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
• For the snickerdoodle cookie: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and set aside. With a hand mixer, beat the granulated sugar, butter and egg together until creamy. Add the flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
• Put the cinnamon sugar on a small plate. Scoop about a tablespoon of the batter into the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll around to coat in the sugar. Drop into one of the cupcake liners and flatten the dough; repeat to fill the remaining 11 cupcake liners. Set aside.
• For remainder of the cookie dough, scoop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
• For the cake batter: Combine the cake flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, butter and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and mix on medium until the mixture is creamy. While the mixer is running, add the eggs and yolks one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each egg. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream, ending with the flour. Mix on medium until the ingredients are all fully incorporated.
• Fill the liners (on top of the cookie dough) three-quarters full with the cupcake batter. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
• For the mint tea: Add the mint leaves and sugar to 1 cup boiling water and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain out the mint and set aside to cool completely.
• For the cinnamon honey glaze: Put the butter in a small bowl and stir in the honey and cinnamon sugar until smooth.
• For the mint buttercream: Combine the granulated sugar, salt and egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water, and whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is frothy and smooth and reaches 160 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the bowl to the mixer and beat on high speed with a whisk attachment until the mixture has cooled completely and formed stiff and glossy peaks, about 7 minutes. With the mixer running, add the butter one piece at a time. Continue beating until all of the butter is incorporated and the mixture looks smooth. Add the cooled mint tea, confectioners' sugar and mint extract. With the paddle attachment, beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
• To assemble: Brush some of the cinnamon honey glaze on top of each cupcake, frost with mint buttercream and top with a mini snickerdoodle.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cupcake pans with paper liners. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together into a bowl. Whisk together the sugar, milk, oil, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk. Whisk into the dry ingredients slowly, followed by the boiling water, just to combine.
• Pour into the cupcake pans and bake for about 18 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the carrot ganache: Whisk together the cream cheese, carrot juice and sugar in a large saucepan until smooth. Place over low heat until just boiling.
• Place the white chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot carrot mixture over. Mix well until all the chocolate has melted. Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla and ginger. Let cool.
• For the chocolate ganache: Combine the cream, sugar and cayenne in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Combine the chocolate and butter in a bowl. Whisk the hot cream into the chocolate until smooth, then cover with plastic wrap.
• For assembly: Use a melon baller to scoop out the center of each cupcake and fill with carrot ganache. Frost with the chocolate ganache and sprinkle each cupcake with some cayenne pepper. Garnish with a marzipan carrot.
