Baking the Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated. Then, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before moving on to the next step.

Adding the Candy Floss

Once the cupcakes have cooled, it's time to add the magical candy floss on top. You'll need about 2 cups of candy floss in various colors for this step. Take a small handful of candy floss and gently shape it into a fluffy cloud-like shape. Place the candy floss cloud on top of a cupcake, pressing it down slightly to adhere. Repeat this process for each cupcake, using different colors of candy floss to create a whimsical assortment. Feel free to get creative and mix different colors together for a truly magical effect! Once all the cupcakes are topped with candy floss, they are ready to be enjoyed.
