For people who like the old video game, these Super Mario Starman Nintendo cupcakes are a fun and easy treat. Because they are bright yellow and have star-shaped sprinkles on them, they look just like the famous Starman power-up. These cupcakes will make you smile whether you're having a gaming party or just want a snack that makes you think of good times.
Ingredients: 1 box of your favorite cupcake mix. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2 cups powdered sugar. 1/4 cup milk. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Yellow food coloring. Star-shaped sprinkles. Super Mario-themed cupcake toppers optional.
Instructions: Prepare the cupcake mix according to the package instructions. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner with the batter until they are 2/3 full. Bake the cupcakes according to the package instructions, usually around 18-20 minutes at 350F 175C. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Add yellow food coloring to the frosting until you achieve the desired bright yellow color, resembling the Super Mario Starman. Once the cupcakes are baked and have cooled completely, frost each cupcake with the yellow frosting using a piping bag or a knife. Sprinkle star-shaped sprinkles on top of each cupcake to mimic the Starman's appearance. Optionally, decorate the cupcakes with Super Mario-themed cupcake toppers for an extra touch of nostalgia. Serve and enjoy your Super Mario Starman Nintendo cupcakes!
