1

Prepare the Batter

First, gather your ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (melted), 1/4 cup of milk, 1 egg, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until the batter is smooth and creamy.

2

Add Vibrant Colors

Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want to create. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the colors are vibrant and well combined. Get creative with different shades of blue, purple, and black to mimic the colors of the galaxy!

3

Create Swirled Patterns

Line a cupcake tray with paper liners and start spooning a small amount of each colored batter into each cupcake liner. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating beautiful galaxy patterns. Don't overdo it, we want a marbled effect, not a chaotic mess!

4

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cupcakes for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning your galaxies! Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool completely before decorating.

5

Shimmering Stars

Now for the starry touch! Melt some white chocolate in the microwave or on a stovetop. Dip a clean toothbrush into the melted chocolate and gently flick it onto the cooled cupcakes, creating a splattering effect. Sprinkle edible glitter or silver sanding sugar on top to make them twinkle like real stars.

6

The Final Touch

Finish off your Galaxy Swirled Cupcakes with a touch of magic by piping on some galaxy-inspired frosting. Whip up a batch of your favorite buttercream frosting, divide it into separate bowls, and dye each bowl with different shades of blue, purple, and black food coloring. Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe a swirling galaxy design on top of each cupcake. Add some edible glitter or tiny star sprinkles for extra cosmic flair!
