These easy to make Kitty Cat Cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat for all the cat lovers in your life. They are extremely easy to make, and you don’t need any specialized cake decorating skills to create these adorable little cuties. This is the kind of recipe I like to call a halfway homemade dessert. It uses convenience items like a boxed cake mix and a can of frosting, but adding all the lovely little touches that turn them into adorable little kitties, makes them a homemade treat in my book. I think when you put your heart into creating something unique for someone, that’s the most thoughtful way to show someone you really care about them. So skip the store bought sweet treats and keep reading to find out how easy it is to put together these adorable little treats so you can show someone you care about how much they matter to you.
How To Make The Cutest Kitty Cat Cupcakes:
Start by placing paper cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Set aside.
Preheat oven to the temperature listed on the box of cake mix you are using.
Make cake batter according to the package directions. Scoop batter into the paper cupcake liners filling them about 2/3’s full.
Bake cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center of each one comes out clean.
Cool cupcakes to room temperature.
Once cupcakes have cooled, use a spatula and frost the top of each cupcake with a generous layer of chocolate frosting.
Dip each frosted cupcake into the chocolate sprinkles to cover the entire top of each cupcake.
Place two Hershey’s Kisses onto each cupcake as the “ears”.
Add candy eyes, and a red M&M for a nose.
Snap Pocky sticks in half and push the ends into the cupcakes to create “whiskers”.
OPTIONAL: Dip the raw end of the Pocky stick in the chocolate frosting to cover the raw edge.
Place cupcakes in the refrigerator for a couple hours to allow the frosting to set up.
Oh my goodness these are so stinking cute and they are sure to put a smile on your favorite cat lovers face. If you can spread a layer of frosting onto the top of a cupcake you surely have the skill set needed to make these little cuties! Like I said, no elaborate cake decorating skills are needed to make them. You could certainly make a cake batter from scratch as well as the frosting but if you want to keep it super simple go with the convenience of boxed cake mix and a can of frosting. You can whip these up in no time and they will certainly brighten anyones day!
