1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup clover honey
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 (4-ounce) jar pumpkins with pears baby food (recommended: Nature's Goodness brand)
2 (4-ounce) jars applesauce and apricots baby food (recommended: Earth's Best brand)
1/2 cup ground pecans
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup ground pecans

Steps:

  • For the Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the baking soda, salt, baking powder and flour. Mix thoroughly with a fork and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, honey, both sugars and butter. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer. Add the cinnamon and baby food. Mix until smooth. Using a rubber spatula fold in the pecans. Slowly add the flour mixture using a sifter and fold in until ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Place 24 mini baking cups (2-inch, nonfoil) into each hole of the mini muffin pan. Place a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag into a bowl (for support) and pour the cupcake batter into the bag. Seal the bag and cut the tip off 1 of the bottom corners of the bag. Squeeze the batter into each baking cup, filling them only 3/4 of the way full. Place the mini muffin pan in the oven on the center rack. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • For the Frosting: In a small mixing bowl add the extracts, milk, cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer. When the cupcakes are done baking remove each cupcake from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Once the cupcakes are cooled remove them from the refrigerator. Frost each cupcake by putting a generous dollop of frosting on the top with a spoon. Garnish top with ground pecans and they are ready to serve.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow or white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs or egg whites called for on cake mix box
Tray or cardboard covered with wrapping paper and plastic food wrap or foil
1 container Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
2 cups white fondant
14 drops neon pink liquid food color
1 drop neon green food color

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 1 1/2-quart ovenproof bowl (8 inches across top) with shortening; coat with flour (do not use cooking spray). Lightly grease 3 muffin cups in mini muffin pan.
  • Make cake batter as directed on box. Pour batter into 3 mini muffin cups, filling two-thirds full; pour remaining batter into 1 1/2-quart bowl.
  • Bake cupcakes 11 to 14 minutes, bowl 47 to 53 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from mini muffin cups and bowl; place rounded sides up on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. If necessary, cut off rounded tops of cakes.
  • Place bowl cake on tray, cut side down. Cut 1 mini cupcake in half from top to bottom. Place half of the mini cupcake cut side against one of the whole mini cupcakes; use toothpick to hold them together. Repeat with remaining cupcake and half cupcake. Use frosting to adhere cupcakes to bowl cake for booties, with half cupcakes facing out. Use toothpicks if necessary. Spread 1/3 cup frosting in thin layer over side and top of cake to seal in crumbs. Freeze cake 30 to 45 minutes to set frosting.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the frosting in small bowl. Spread remaining frosting over cake, frosting more heavily on side of bowl cake with booties; this will be baby's diaper. To reserved 1/4 cup frosting, add 3 drops neon pink food color, stirring until well blended. Spread pink frosting on mini cupcakes.
  • On work surface, roll out 1/4 cup of the white fondant to 1/8 inch, and cut shapes out for soles of booties; press onto cupcakes, using colored frosting as glue.
  • Knead 6 drops neon pink food color into 1 cup of the fondant. On work surface, roll out to 1/8 inch into rectangle. Gently lift rectangle, and drape over cake across from booties to make blanket, making wrinkles and folds as you place the rectangle.
  • Knead 3 drops neon pink food color into 1/4 cup of the fondant, and roll out to 1/8 inch onwork surface into long strip. Use pastry wheel to make scalloped edge. Gently place edging along end of blanket, using small amount of water to adhere fondant if necessary.
  • Knead 3 drops neon pink food color into 1/4 cup of the fondant, and roll out to 1/8 inch on work surface. Use small canapé cutters or paring knife to cut out flower shapes as desired.
  • Knead 1 drop neon green food color and 2 drops neon pink into 1/4 cup of the fondant to get bright orange, and roll out to 1/8 inch on work surface. Use small canapé cutters or paring knife to cut out small rounds as desired.
  • Place small cutout shapes on blanket as desired, using small amount of water to attach. Remove toothpicks before serving. Store loosely covered.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your cake tastes its best. Use the right flour for each recipe. For example: all-purpose flour is best for the basic cake recipe, while cake flour is better for cakes that require a lighter, more delicate texture.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. This will help you avoid any mistakes that could ruin your cake. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The temperature of the oven will vary depending on the recipe. Be sure to check the recipe to make sure you are baking the cake at the correct temperature.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. Be creative with your frosting. You can use any type of frosting you like, such as buttercream, chocolate ganache, or cream cheese frosting.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings. You can use sprinkles, candy, or even fresh fruit to decorate your cake.
