What fun! My grand kids would love these! Just saying Batman would make them crazy about them.
that looks so cute and looks like it would be good too
This is great. I love it.
These are very cute cupcakes and easy to make too. Kids should love them.
How cute is that! I want to make them for my step-son’s birthday and he is 25 years old! (big batman fan though)
Oh gosh,…I sure wish my boys were still little! Planning their themed parties was so fun. What the heck…I can make these for them anyway! 🙂
Incredible! I cant wait to get started on this. My family can be hard to impress, but I have a feeling this dessert will be met with amazement!
Great cupcake recipe ! Simple and easy !
These look fun! I am really impressed by your frosting and how nice it looks . Everyone would love these.
This looks so yummy and I will have to try out the recipe 🙂
I made these, the cupcakes came out great but I made the frosting exactly as written and I don’t think there is enough. Is the amounts correct?
These would be so great for a Batman birthday party! I’ll have to see if my son wants them for his party.
i do not now if i could do those i would have to have the aide make them
Just be prepared for stains while eating the cupcakes. My daughter’s graduation cake had black edging and it stained everything that the younger kids touched. Lots of lemon juice and elbow grease was needed.
(Batman Cupcakes – Black and Yellow Swirled Recipe) I am going to make these with my five year old grandson this fall when it gets a little cooler outside. I know he will really enjoy it.
Ii love the way the finished cupcake looks.
What a great idea! I never thought to put two different frosting colors together and to make it a theme. I wish I could bite into one now!
