Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so excited you are here! Be sure to check out the ALL NEW Cupcake Heaven page! And if you are in need to a special cupcake design, use the “Be a Hero” area!
We have been having fun sharing crafts, decorations, recipes and of course cupcakes for your Olympic Celebration! And we can’t forget the Olympic World Flag Printable Cupcake Toppers that The Paper Cupcake designed…did you get yours? Only a few more days until Opening Night Ceremony, are you hosting a party or maybe a little celebration with the kiddos? Today I have the perfect cupcake that the kiddos and adults are sure to love.
Olympic Torch Cupcakes…made with sugar ice cream cones, cupcakes, frosting and candy clay for the fire! Fun to make and fun to eat!
These are not difficult, but you will need to do a little planning and start the Candy Clay the day before. You can find the recipe and directions on how to make Candy Clay. After the Candy Clay is all mixed up and resting, then it’s time to start on the cupcakes.
Unlike cake ice cream cones, the sugar cones don’t do as well {in my experience} in the oven. I usually place the cone right on top of the cupcake while it’s baking, but the sugar cones get too brown and start to open. So I found it easiest to just bake a batch of mini cupcakes and place them inside of the sugar cone.
Now it’s time to decorate…
- Roll out candy clay between 2 pieces of wax paper, and cut fire with a cookie cutter {we used the edge of various shapes} or cut with a knife
- Frost the cupcake – I used a #1M round tip
- Place fire into the frosting
Join us for an Olympic Celebration!
Now it’s your turn…show off your cupcake creations! I’d appreciate a link back and be sure to check out the other cupcakes!
Great idea! Where did you get the holder they’re sitting in? I was looking around online for something like that to hold cones but couldn’t seem to find one!
Hi Melissa, I think I found it at Target, but I’m not totally sure.
These cupcakes are awesome! I made them for my family to celebrate the opening ceremonies and they were adorable. The candy leather sounds awesome, but to make it easier (for me!) I just cut triangles out of foam paper. It worked great and took about five minutes to put these together. Thanks for sharing!
Your creativity in the kitchen always amazes me and those torch cupcakes are no exception. I can only imagine how fun it is to be invited to a party at your home.
And thank you to the other reader who asked about the holder, After reading that question I realized that having them in the holder really helps the illusion of being a torch — especially if you want to have them as part of your table decoration at a party.
