Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparation**
1. **Prepare the Frosting**:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 sticks of butter, 4-6 grams of icing sugar, and 1/4 cup of milk.
– Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
– Test the consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too runny, add a little more icing sugar.
2. Flavor Variations:
– For **peanut butter** frosting: Add a peanut butter cup to the frosting mixture for a subtle peanut butter flavor.
– For **chocolate** frosting: Mix in about half a tablespoon of cocoa powder to give the frosting a rich chocolate flavor.
3. Assembling the Puppy Cupcakes:
– Once your cupcakes have cooled, fill a piping bag with the frosting.
– Use a small star or grass piping tip to create the puppy “fur.” Start at the center of each cupcake and pipe outward in short strokes to resemble a fluffy dog’s face.
– To create the facial features: Use chocolate chips or candy for the eyes and nose. You can also use fondant or small candies to create a tongue or additional details.
4. Finishing Touches:
– Place each decorated cupcake on a plate and let the frosting set before serving.
Temperature
– Serve these cupcakes at **room temperature**. No need to bake after decorating.
Cooking Time
– Preparation Time: 20-30 minutes (including decorating the cupcakes).
– No additional cooking
is required once the cupcakes are baked and cooled.
Serving and Garnishing

tips and Advice
– To achieve realistic fur: Use a multi-opening piping tip or a small star tip and pipe in short, quick strokes.
– Chill the frosting slightly
before piping to make it easier to shape the dog faces.
– Practice piping on parchment paper before decorating the actual cupcakes to get the feel of creating fur-like textures.
– Add a bit of personality to each puppy with different expressions by adjusting the placement of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
