Batman Cupcakes

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that Batman is my all time favourite superhero. I love the movies, I love the games, I love the merchandise, I love everything everything everything. So, what better way to celebrate that than with some Batman themed cupcakes?

I basically just made some standard chocolate cupcakes, nothing fancy

• 150g butter, room temperature
• 300g caster sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 280g plain flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 350ml water

Whisked all that stuff together in a bowl then put the mix into cases and into the oven on 180 degrees for around twenty minutes. Obviously you could do any kind of cakes, vanilla, chocolate chip etc. But I opted for chocolate.


Then came the hard part. I had to make stencils for all of the toppings and used roll out icing in a variety of colours to make all the different shapes. I made four different kinds in the Batman theme: Batman, Robin, The Joker and The Riddler. I'd make the top of each cake by cutting a circle using a mug and then adding it on before applying all of the shapes for the different logos.


The end result came out looking like this ...

 I had a stencil for the Robin logo but I kind of messed it up so I just made them free hand. I had a different stencil for the Joker but couldn't find any purple icing in the shop I went to, bummer. But I'm pretty pleased with the end result!
