Taking your favorite cake recipe or using store-bought cupcakes, you can create these adorable Pretzel Butterfly Cupcakes with a few simple ingredients!

I’ve got the cutest cupcakes ever to share with you!! And even better? They’re super easy!! You can use any store-bought cake mix or but already make cupcakes and dress them up to make these Pretzel Butterfly Cupcakes.

I can picture these for a little girl’s birthday party or for any springtime celebration! I think after a long winter, these pretzel butterfly cupcakes would be a perfectly timed treat for anyone.

Here is what you’re going to need to make your own Pretzel Butterfly Cupcakes:

12 cupcakes from your favorite recipe or boxed mix
gel food coloring
2 to 3 cups blue buttercream icing (this is my go-to recipe)
1 cup white icing (this is my go-to recipe)
24 miniature pretzels
48 candy coated chocolate pearls (you can use THESE pastel Sixlets)

First, you’re going to want to make your cupcakes from your own favorite recipe or any store-bought mix. Let cool completely.

Then you’re going to place blue buttercream icing in a piping bag fitted with a 2A icing tip. Pipe icing in a layer on cupcakes in a spiral motion from the center to the outside of the cupcake.

Next, place white buttercream icing in a piping bag fitted with a 1M icing tip. Pipe two small stars to one side on top of the cupcake creating a “cloud”.

Line 4 chocolate pearls (Sixlets) beside the white “cloud.” Press to attach to the icing.

Lastly, press one pretzel into each side of the chocolate pearls as the butterfly’s wings.

Do you have a little girl’s birthday party coming up that these would be perfect for? You can customize the colors of the candies to match the party decor!

I just KNOW that you can come up with an event or just because so you can create some of these adorable Pretzel Butterfly Cupcakes!!

I mean, in my family, we ALWAYS find a time to celebrate with cupcakes!! I love to ease of cupcakes versus a typical cake. My creative juices area always on overdrive when I make cupcakes.
