My grandson wanted space themed cupcakes for this birthday party as school so I do what a lot of people do and turned to google. I kept seeing these galaxy cupcakes and knew this was something I wanted to try.
After a quick trip to Walmart to pick up more black cake dye, I made these super easy galaxy cupcakes.
I used the chocolate cupcake recipe for Hot Fudge Sundae cupcakes. You can find that recipe HERE.
I used my old Wedding Cake Frosting recipe on these cupcakes. There are three ways to do this type of frosting. You can use Crisco only, a combo of Crisco and butter, or only butter. For a pure white frosting, you will need to use only Crisco.
I love buttercream but it does not hold up as well in the heat so I used a combination of buttercream and Crisco for this frosting. I use the Crisco sticks just because they are easy and because I don't normally have Crisco in my house.
