How to Make Honey Cupcakes with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting

First, set the oven to 350 degrees. Then, use pan baking spray to grease a muffin tin or use cupcake liners to line the tin.

Next, add the butter and sugar into a bowl using a hand or standing mixer. Beat until light and fluffy for about one to two minutes.

Now, add the cream cheese, vanilla butter, milk, and eggs to the bowl and combine on low. After all the ingredients are well incorporated, add in the honey, and combine on medium speed for one minute.

Slowly combine both mixtures of wet and dry until fully incorporated. Next, pour the prepared batter into the prepared muffin tin. Make sure you fill each section, about 2/3 of the way full. 

Next, place the pan into the oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until you place a toothpick in the middle of one of the cupcakes, and it comes out clean better. Then, once the cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them sit to cool thoroughly before frosting.

Directions for Honey Cream Cheese Frosting:

To start, add the butter and cream cheese into a large mixing bowl or standing mixer and combine until light and fluffy.

Next, add in the vanilla extract and combine again.

Beginning with one cup at a time, gradually add your powdered sugar into the bowl, while also pouring in a small amount of milk, between each addition. Then, for one minute combined the ingredients until creamy. Next, add in the cinnamon and mix until fully combined.

After, add in a few drops of food coloring.

You can begin prepping the frosting by adding scoops of the mixture into a piping bag. Next, you will create a tiny “blob tower” of the frosting onto the middle of each cupcake. 

Finally, use your cute Bumblebee decorations to decorate the finished cupcake.

Enjoy.
