Candy Floss Cupcakes (Cotton Candy Cupcakes) | Club CraftedHey guys! I’m really excited to welcome a new contributor to the blog today! Hardip Sohal of Love Cakes is here to share a super cute cupcake recipe and decorating tutorial for candy floss cupcakes, also more commonly known by Americans as cotton candy cupcakes.

Scroll down for the full recipe card! ??

Candy Floss Cupcakes (Cotton Candy Cupcakes) | Club Crafted Candy Floss Cupcakes (Cotton Candy Cupcakes) | Club CraftedBrighten up your party with these fantastically fun candy floss cupcakes!  Also known as cotton candy, the addition of this spun sugar is a wonderfully easy way of transforming your cupcakes into a magical treat for children (and big kids!). 

Candy floss is widely available in supermarkets and on-line, in a variety of colours, so you can be as creative and vibrant as you like.

Supplies:

  • 12-hole cupcake baking tray
  • 12 cupcake cases
  • Piping nozzle (for these we have used Wilton tip 10)
  • Disposable piping bag
  • 12 lollipop sticks
  • 1 box of shop bought candy floss (or if you’re feeling really adventurous, make your own! There are many candy floss machines available to purchase inexpensively, and they do a great job.)

Cook Time
20 min
For the cupcakes
  1. 4oz unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  2. 4oz caster sugar
  3. 4oz self-raising flour, sifted
  4. Β½ tsp baking powder, sifted
  5. Β½ tsp vanilla extract
  6. 2 medium eggs
For the buttercream
  1. 3oz butter, at room temperature
  2. 8oz icing sugar, sifted
  3. 1 tsp vanilla
  4. 2-3 tsp milk
  5. coloured sprinkles
For the cupcakes
  1. Pre-heat oven to 140 degrees C (300 degrees F)
  2. Add all ingredients for the cupcakes to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whizz with an electric whisk until creamy
  3. Divide mixture evenly between the cases and bake in the centre of the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean
  4. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack
For the buttercream
  1. In the mean time, get started on the buttercream icing. Using an electric whisk, cream the butter in a medium mixing bowl
  2. Sift in the icing sugar and combine using a metal spoon, add the vanilla and milk, then beat gently using an electric whisk for a few minutes
  3. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with your chosen nozzle
  4. When the cakes have cooled, pipe the buttercream on top using a spiraling motion and top with a few pinches of sprinkles (you may find it easier to dip the cupcakes gently upside down into a small bowl of the sprinkles)
  5. Next, insert a lollipop stick into the centre of each cake. Roll a small amount of candy floss very gently between your palms and slot onto the top of the stick (do this stage just before serving to prevent the candy floss from melting)

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
