Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today, I’m going to be making something that has been requested forever!
And I’m so happy to be finally doing it. I got so many requests
for something My Little Pony. So today I’m going to be making rainbow cupcakes
and decorating them My Little Pony style! Meeeeeewww!
Before we get started, I just want to say this cute little apron was made by Huckleberry Baby.
She makes a lot of retro-style aprons, and she's made all my geeky aprons! The Dr. Who one,
the Tetris one, and now my Brony Pony cutie pie apron.
Alright, let’s get started!
The things we will need for rainbow cupcakes will be: Vegetable oil, big mixing bowl,
white cake mix, so that we can dye it different colors! Water and 4 eggs.
Remember, we are just going to be using the egg whites.
Now let’s put it all together!
My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Raaaaa-Raaaaa-Raaaaa-Raaaaa-Raaaaaaaaaaaa!
Now you’re gonna mix for 2 minutes.
Hahaha! It’s not plugged in! Oh sad!
Electricity helps!
Where’s my electricity magical My Little Pony when you need her?
Useless! Just useless! OH GOD!!!!!! OH GOD!!!
Once your batter is all mixed, we are going to be dying it the colors of the rainbow.
So what I did is I got 6 bowls, they’re plastic bowls. And 6 spoons so that the cleanup will
be really, really easy. And we’ve got food coloring dye, we have red, yellow, orange,
green, blue and purple. Separate the cake mix evenly into each bowl, just eyeball it.
Alright, I’m gonna start with purple, squeeze a little in, take your spoon, mix it up.
Oh look at that! The cake batter is turning this really pretty purple, that’s what we want.
We just finished dying all of our cake dough, look at that!
Do-do-do-do-do-do! Rrrrrrrainbow!
Now you’re gonna start with purple, you’re gonna take a little, like a half, half a scoop?
Half a… Half a scoop, put it on the bottom. And I’ve just lined this cupcake tray with
little paper liners. You don’t technically need them, but I like them because it makes it
non-messy to clean up. Not very messy!
Ta-da!
As you can see we have purple in all of our cupcake trays. Now you’re gonna do half a
scoop of blue, and then green, and then yellow, and then orange, and then top it off with red.
Once you’ve got all the rainbow batter in your little cupcake trays, like so, you’re
just gonna gently, tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap on the table. I’m sorry this is kind of loud!
And it will settle, you don’t need to worry about the dyes inter-mixing, they just don’t do it.
I don’t know what the science is but they don’t inter-mix, they will stay separate.
And then you’re gonna heat your oven to 350 and bake for 20 minutes, and fa-dawwww!
You will have rainbow cupcakes.
Once your cupcakes are done baking, and they’re fresh out of the oven, make sure they’ve had
plenty of time to cool. You’re just gonna open it up, pull down the wrapper. Oooooh so pretty!
And then we’re gonna break it in half, so you can see what it will look like on the inside.
Ohhh, so cool!
Now we are going to decorate and frost our cupcakes. Each little pony has 2 cupcakes.
One of them we’re going to decorate as a cutie mark, and the other one we’re going to stick
them on the back. These little ponies I got in a set at Toys-R-Us. And I’ll put a link
down below if you’re interested in getting that set. They’re so cute!
You can put them on cupcakes as a decoration and afterwards you can play with them.
The are toys heee-heee-heee!
This is vanilla buttercream frosting, I’ve pre-dyed them different colors to be My Little Pony
colors, you can make them whatever colors you’d like.
Now that we’ve got all of our cupcakes frosted, we are gonna make the cutie decorations.
And you can use anything that’s mold-able, you can use Starbursts or Laffy Taffy, but
I’m gonna be using fondant today.
Now we’ve got all of our cutie mark cupcakes done, dew-dew, I’ve added little, uh, sprinkle
confetti for Pinkie Pie, because I thought, she likes to party and that’s really, really cute.
We’ve got all these guys all done, and now you’re gonna take your ponies and stick them on
the back one. I put these in the freezer for just a little bit so they’d be really, really
firm, and ponies wouldn’t drown in frosting. Very important, don’t drown the ponies!
Ta-da!
All of the My Little Pony cupcakes are all finished!
Thank you guys for suggesting these, I know that I’ve been meaning to do a My Little Pony
something for a very long time. And, this is the first time that I got to make rainbow
cupcakes on Nerdy Nummies show, yum-yum-yum-yum-yum!
If you have any other suggestions for any other Nerdy Nummies please, let me know!
Leave me a comment down below, and I will do my best to make them happen!
OK, thanks you guys bye-bye!
My Little Pony, friendship, friendship.
My Little Pony!
