For Glow-in-the-Dark Moonlit Cupcakes, you’ll need some fun ingredients to make them stand out! Here’s a list of ingredients:
Cupcake Ingredients:
1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3. 1/2 tsp salt
4. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
5. 1 cup granulated sugar
6. 2 large eggs
7. 1 tsp vanilla extract
8. 1/2 cup milk
9. Green food coloring (optional)
Glow-in-the-Dark Frosting:
1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2. 4 cups powdered sugar
3. 2 tbsp milk
4. 1 tsp vanilla extract
5. Neon green or blue food coloring (you can use a glowing edible powder or tonic water to create the glow-in-the-dark effect)
6. Tonic water (for glow effect): This is the key ingredient for the glowing effect! Tonic water contains quinine, which glows under UV light.
7. Blacklight (to see the glow!)
Optional Toppings:
1. Edible glitter or star-shaped sprinkles
2. Moon-shaped fondant decorations
Note: The cupcakes will only glow under UV light or blacklight due to the quinine in the tonic water! If you want them to appear glow-in-the-dark, make sure you have access to UV light to enjoy the full effect.
