1

Mix the Cupcake Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of stardust (optional). Mix until smooth and well-blended.

2

Create Galactic Food Coloring

In a small bowl, mix together a few drops of blue and purple food coloring to create a mesmerizing galactic hue. Add more drops as needed until you achieve the desired celestial color.

3

Swirl the Colors

Divide the cupcake batter equally into separate bowls. Add a small amount of the galactic food coloring to each bowl, creating different shades of cosmic colors. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the batter in each bowl, creating a marbled effect.

4

Fill the Cupcake Liners

Line a cupcake tray with liners and spoon the marbled batter into each cup, filling them about 2/3 of the way. Feel free to use a mix of colors to make the galaxy truly vibrant!

5

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before frosting.

6

Whip up Some Cosmic Frosting

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons of milk, and a few drops of neon food coloring. Beat the ingredients together until creamy and fluffy. Add more milk or powdered sugar if needed to reach your desired consistency.

7

Frost the Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes are cool, grab a piping bag or a butter knife and generously frost each cupcake with the cosmic frosting. Get creative! You can even create swirling patterns to mimic an actual galaxy.

8

Sprinkle Some Stardust

To add an extra touch of magic, sprinkle some edible stardust or silver glitter on top of each cupcake. These shimmering specks will make your galaxy cupcakes truly shine.
