Prepare the Cupcake Batter

Summon the Eclipse Elixir

In a cauldron or a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of melted butter, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and shiny.

Infuse with Lunar Love

Pour the Eclipse Elixir into the dry ingredients and add ½ cup of milk. Gently whisk until the batter is smooth and celestial. Be sure not to overmix, or the cupcakes might lose their magic!

Embrace the Cupcake Constellation

Line a cupcake tin with paper liners, and fill each liner with the celestial batter, filling them about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a pinch of stardust over each cupcake to capture the essence of the universe.

Bake 'Em to Infinity and Beyond

Place the cupcake tin in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before you embark on the final stage of your cosmic adventure.

Celestial Frosting

While your cupcakes cool, prepare a celestial frosting by beating 1 cup of softened butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar. Add a splash of moonbeam vanilla extract and a sprinkle of magic stardust. Mix until light and fluffy, like clouds passing over the moon.

Decorate and Elevate

Once your cupcakes are completely cool, spread the celestial frosting over each one using a piping bag or a spatula. Feel free to get creative and decorate with edible star-shaped sprinkles or silver sugar pearls. Watch as these cosmic confections come to life with their enchanting beauty!
