Easy Teddy Bear Cupcakes

My daughter is so strange. She will tell you she does not like cake, but will devour a cupcake so fast, you will wonder where it went. But she will turn down every piece of cake she is offered. I have never understood it. So, when she wants cake, we make cupcakes. Her class was having a teddy bear picnic and she wanted to take in cupcakes. Well, what else would be a perfect treat for a teddy bear picnic? Teddy Bear Cupcakes, of course.

Teddy bear picnics are so sweet. It is when all the kids get to bring in a teddy bear and a blanket and the parents get to come too. All together we have a picnic. The kids get extremely excited and it is fun for everyone involved. That is why these teddy bear cupcakes are so great for a a teddy bear picnic.

Tip: I prefer silicone cupcake pans. My cupcakes tend to come out more even and I think they bake more evenly. Also, no need for a cupcake liner. When I do use a metal tin, I use silicone cupcake liners. I don’t have to stress about always having to buy and then throw out the cupcake papers. (This is a 24 pack, it is a better value than the 12 packs.)

Tip: To make creating the cupcakes easier and to help it look more professional, you will need a few specialty items: Pastry Bag and tips. I use these whenever I make cupcakes for pretty looking cupcakes. I also use them for decorating cookies. This is an inexpensive set but has everything you need.

Tip: I can never find peanut butter candy melts at the stores around me. Since I hate running to a store and not finding what I need, I get mine straight from Amazon. I tend to order all my candy melts, chocolate and white, at one time for convenience.
