TEDDY BEAR CUPCAKES

Steps:

• First, make the teddy bear cupcake decorations. Place 44 chocolate wafers on a cutting board and set aside. Measure out 1 cup of wafers from the remaining.
• Melt 1 cup of wafers in 30-second increments until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
• Start with an unwrapped Reese's peanut butter cup and add a small bit of melted chocolate onto the lower center of the peanut butter cup. Place a pink wafer onto the chocolate, forming the muzzle of the bear.
• Place two drops of melted chocolate above the pink wafer for the eyes. Add the candy eyes.
• Pipe a small bit of chocolate onto the "M" side of an M&M and place it onto the center of the pink wafer.
• Use the small cookie cutter to cut out a half-shaped moon from the bottom of all of the chocolate wafers. Pipe a line of melted chocolate onto the bottom curve of each wafer and place them onto the peanut butter cup for ears (just left and right of center).
• Repeat for all teddy bear cupcakes needed. Allow each to dry for 10-minutes before placing onto the cupcakes or make the day before.
• Next, make the vanilla cupcakes. You can use a store-bought mix, your own recipe, or our Lazy's Girl's Easy Vanilla Cupcake Recipe linked above (double the recipe). Let cool completely.
• Now it's time to make the chocolate frosting. Using a stand mixer if you have it, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Cupcake frosting should be stiff, so only add 3 tablespoons of cream to start. Transfer to the piping bag with star tip.
• Finally, let's assemble our teddy bear cupcakes. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them by building a large swirl with the star tip. Place a small mound of frosting in the center of the cupcake. Start piping at the edge of the cake, following the shape and lifting slightly as you go. Place one teddy bear decoration into the frosting and push down lightly. Add a heart to the frosting below the teddy bear.
