For The Chocolate Bows

For The Cupcakes

  • Pink cupcake liners
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring

For The Buttercream

  • 2 sticks salted butter, softened
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar
  • 4–6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring

 

Instructions

  1. Melt the candy melts according to package directions. If using white melts, stir in pink candy coloring until you reach your desired shade.
  2. Spoon the melted chocolate into the bow mold, gently tapping the mold on the counter to release air bubbles. Refrigerate until fully set, about 20–30 minutes. Carefully remove from the mold and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with pink liners.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, egg whites, melted butter, milk, sour cream, pudding mix, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Add pink food coloring and stir until evenly tinted.
  6. Fill liners about ⅔ full. Bake according to package directions. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. If needed, add more cream one tablespoon at a time to reach a smooth piping consistency.
  9. Add a small amount of pink food coloring and mix until evenly blended. Aim for a soft, light pink shade.
  10. Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip.
  11. Pipe a swirl onto each cooled cupcake. Top with Barbie-themed sprinkles.
  12. Gently place one chocolate bow on top of each cupcake.
  13. Serve and enjoy.
