An easy one and so fun to make with kids!! I have to be honest. It was meant to be a Butterfly cupcake. I really don’t know how it turned into an alligator…loll!! If you have any suggestion what does it look like, please let me know. Ingredients:
1 package devil’s food cake mix. |
lemon butter cream icing |
100 g/3 1/2 oz butter, softened |
225g/8 oz icing sugar |
grated rind of 1/2 lemon |
1 tbsp lemon juice |
enough chocolate chips for the baby alligators to begin their first steps. |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Prepare 2 (24 muffins tray) with muffin cups or silicon cups.
3. Make cake as directed, let cool completely.
4. Lemon butter cream:
5. Beat butter until fluffy, beat in the icing sugar gradually. Beat in the lemon rind and gradually beat in the lemon juice.
6. Assembling:
7. Cut the top off each cake, using a serrated knife and trim edge with a cookie cutter. Cut each top in half. Using a sharp knife, make small cuts in the outer edge of each half to make a serrated look.
8. Pipe the butter cream icing over the cut surface of each cake and push the 2 cut pieces of cake top into the icing to form sides of a shell. Carefully, insert two chocolate chips in the end of the middle line piped cream to form the eyes.
