Pilgrim Hat Cupcakes

November 19, 2011

These cute pilgrim cupcakes were way to cute to pass up!

It’s your basic white cupcake topped with classic buttercream (conveniently reduced to just two servings because someone (cough, cough, me) has had way too much cupcakes lately) and then decorated with a cute yet simple, and edible pilgrim hat! What a cute and kid friendly dessert for the most important day in November!

 

Note: I tinted my frosting yellow but you could also use fall colored sprinkles and decorate the top of your cupcakes before topping with the ‘hat’. You could also ‘cheat’ and buy store bought fall decorated cupcakes and just top with the hats for extra cuteness.

Put a dot of frosting on the top of the peanut butter cups. Adhere the cup to the bottom side of the fudge cookie.

Frost each of the cupcakes with buttercream frosting.

Using yellow tubed decorator’s frosting, pipe on the buckle and the base of the hat. Put one cookie on each cupcake.
