Dye small portions (about 1 cup) of frosting colors that correspond to the characters you want to use. If you use the food coloring set I used, it has formulas to get the exact right colors!
STEP 1
Scoop one color into the piping bag fitted with the 2D piping tip. Clean the toys with soap and water.
STEP 2
Cut a small section out of the center of a cupcake and insert the character of choice. Pipe the frosting as a “skirt” around their body.
STEP 3
Pipe a dollop of frosting on top of the cupcake and set the character on top.
STEP 4
Don’t want to use Encanto toys or need a way to make these Encanto birthday cupcakes in bulk for a party? Find images of the characters online. Cut them out, cutting them at the waist. Tape to a tooth pick. Pipe frosting on top of the cupcakes, then insert the toothpick in.
