There's no better way for a BTS fan to celebrate Easter than with these BT21-inspired cupcakes in the shape of RJ, The Kind Alpaca.
Gather up all of your ingredients, plus white fondant, pink icing gel color and black candy melts for the alpaca decorations. You will also need toothpicks, wax paper, a piping bag, 12 foil baking cups and a large round piping tip.
Mix together the eggs, oil, both sugars and vanilla.
Dry ingredients are next including flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Wet and dry ingredients become one batter that smells simply irresistible.
Chop those carrots!
Instead of using a box grater, take advantage of your food processor.
Incorporate the carrots, raisins, pineapple and nuts into the batter. Hungry yet?
Divide your batter into your pre-lined muffin tin.
Using a toothpick and black candy melts, create RJ's face on wax paper. Once these dry, you'll be able to carefully remove them and place them on your cupcakes.
Everything is better with cream cheese and butter, which is why this frosting has both.
Combine the cream cheese and butter together completely.
Finally, add the powdered sugar.
Pipe small dots of frosting onto your cooled cupcakes to create RJ's furry face.
Using fondant colored with pink gel coloring, create RJ's signature rosy cheeks.
Dip a clean finger into some warm water, tap it on a paper towel or kitchen towel, and then tap the peaks on the icing dots to smooth them out.
Finish things off using the pink fondant and candy melt features.
