Calling all novice bakers! Having a hard time trying to figure out what to get mum for Mother’s Day? Pull out your stand mixer and fire up the oven because there’s no better way to say ‘I love you Mum’ than with a batch of decadent cupcakes! In this blog, the Love Discount Vouchers team will be sharing their favourite easy-to-make Mother’s Day cupcake ideas that are guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth.
In this guide, we will share:
Why settle for plain vanilla cupcakes when you can introduce Mum to a whole new world of flavours? Delish’s favourite way to spice up their Mother’s Day cupcake ideas is to “take inspiration from other desserts” and the team here at LDV was more than happy to comply. From stuffing cannolis inside cupcakes to flavouring them to taste just like s’mores, creating an extra special cupcake for mum has never been easier.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Combine the vanilla cake mix with the lemon extract and ingredients specified on the back of the box in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill them ¾ of the way full with the batter. Place a strawberry in the centre of each cupcake.
Step 3: Bake the cupcakes in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20 minutes. Allow them to cool once done.
Step 4: Beat the butter and half of the powdered sugar together in a large bowl. Once smooth add the lemonade and remaining powdered sugar until the mixture becomes light & fluffy.
Step 5: Fold in a few drops of pink food colouring before spooning the buttercream into a piping bag.
Step 6: Pipe the buttercream onto the cooled cupcakes and garnish with the decorations of your choice.
Tip: Save a couple of strawberries and use them as garnishes for the cupcakes!
Ingredients:
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, butter, sugar and salt.
Step 2: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and press a tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each liner.
Step 3: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding and the cake mix with the ingredients specified on the back of the box. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners and bake them in an oven preheated to 180°C for a few minutes less than the instructions specify.
Step 4: In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over them. Whisk until smooth.
Step 5: When almost done, remove the cupcakes from the oven and spoon the chocolate ganache onto them before topping them with a marshmallow. Put the cupcakes back in the oven and bake them until the marshmallows are golden brown.
