Description

Delightful Fall Daisy Mini Cupcakes featuring rich chocolate cupcakes topped with creamy chocolate buttercream and decorated with colorful M&M’s arranged like daisies for a festive autumn treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cupcake

  • 1 batch chocolate cupcake batter

Chocolate Buttercream

  • 1 batch chocolate buttercream frosting

Decoration

  • 7 M&M’s Fall Harvest Milk Chocolate Candies per cupcake
  • 7 M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies per cupcake


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Frosting: Using a disposable pastry bag fitted with a 2A round decorating tip, or alternatively a knife/offset spatula or the corner of a plastic sandwich bag snipped off, pipe a small blob of chocolate buttercream onto each mini chocolate cupcake.
  2. Add the Center M&M: Gently press one M&M Milk Chocolate Candy into the center of the chocolate frosting blob on each cupcake.
  3. Create the Daisy Petals: Surround the center M&M with six M&M Fall Harvest candies pressed gently into the frosting, forming a daisy pattern.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once decorated, serve immediately or store cupcakes in a cool place until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use either M&M’s Fall Harvest or the regular M&M’s candies depending on availability and your color preference.
  • For a neat look, chill the frosting slightly before piping to maintain shape.
  • These mini cupcakes are perfect for fall gatherings and easy to customize with other candy colors.
  • Make sure to press the M&M’s gently to avoid crushing the cupcake tops.
