Incredibles Inspired Cupcake Ingredients

To create these magical Disney Incredibles Inspired Cupcakes, you will need:

1 box Vanilla cake mix
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
1 cup milk
1 Tbl. pure vanilla extract
Red, Black, and Golden yellow gel food coloring
White cupcake liners

To Make the Frosting you will need:

1 C unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
2 1/2 C powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3-5 TBSP heavy whipping cream
Red, Orange, Golden Yellow, and black gel food coloring
1 disposable piping bag with a star tip

How to Make Disney Incredibles-Inspired Cupcakes

Step 1 – Preparing the Cupcake Batter
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cupcake pan with the white cupcake liners.

Step 2 – Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, softened butter, milk, and pure vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a smooth batter.

Step 3 – Adding the Colors
Divide the batter equally into four separate bowls. In each bowl, add a different gel food coloring to create vibrant colors inspired by The Incredibles. Use red, black, and golden yellow food coloring for three of the bowls, while keeping the fourth bowl of batter white.

Step 4 – Layering the Colors
Now comes the fun part! Begin filling the cupcake liners by scooping approximately 1 tablespoon of each colored batter into the liners. To achieve a visually stunning effect, rotate the colors as you fill the liners, ensuring each color is evenly distributed. Continue layering the colors until the liners are about 3/4 full.

Step 5 – Baking
Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
Once the cupcakes are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before applying the frosting. This ensures that the frosting adheres properly without melting.

Step 6 – Making the Frosting

Using a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream. Mix on medium speed until all the ingredients are well combined, and the frosting reaches stiff peaks.

Step 7 – Coloring the Frosting

Once the frosting is made, split it into four separate bowls. Add about 2-4 drops of Red coloring in one bowl, Golden Yellow in the second bowl, Black in the third bowl, and Orange in the fourth bowl. Mix each bowl of frosting until the desired color is achieved.

Step 8 – Preparing the Piping Bag

Place the disposable piping bag into a large glass and fold the sides of the bag over the edges. This will make it easier to fill the bag with the colored frosting.

Scoop one spoonful of the red frosting onto one side of the piping bag. Then, scoop one spoonful of the golden yellow frosting onto another side of the piping bag. Finally, scoop one spoonful of the black frosting onto the last side of the piping bag. Squeeze the bag gently to push the frosting together.

Step 9 – Frosting the Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes have cooled, it’s time to frost them! Hold the prepared piping bag with the star tip and gently squeeze the bag to release the frosting onto each cupcake. Starting from the center, swirl the frosting around to create a beautiful, multicolored effect on top of the cupcakes.

Consider adding sprinkles, edible glitter, or even themed cupcake toppers to make them even more extraordinary and reminiscent of The Incredibles.

Cupcake-Making Tips and Storage

Room Temperature Storage: If you plan to serve the cupcakes within 1-2 days, store them at room temperature in an airtight container or cover them with plastic wrap. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out.
Refrigeration: If you need to store the cupcakes for longer it’s best to refrigerate them. Place the cupcakes in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Freezing: Cupcakes can be frozen for longer-term storage. First, allow the cupcakes to cool completely and ensure they are unfrosted. Wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Cupcakes can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw the cupcakes in the refrigerator overnight and bring them to room temperature before frosting.
Frosting Storage: If you have leftover frosting, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using it again, let it come to room temperature and give it a quick whisk to restore its creamy consistency.
