Directions
Bake the cupcakes: Prepare your cupcake batter—whether homemade or from a mix—and stir in a small amount of bubble gum flavoring until evenly distributed. Fill liners and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cupcakes cool completely.
Make bubblegum buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then blend in a splash of milk or cream. Stir in bubble gum flavoring until the frosting smells and tastes sweetly nostalgic. Optional: tint frosting softly pink.
Frost and decorate: Use a piping bag or knife to frost each cupcake thickly. Top with sprinkles or sugar dusting, and finish with a bubblegum ball for extra flair.
Serve promptly: These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to a day.
