Hope you had a good weekend and are gearing up for a wonderful holiday week! I made these cute little viking hat cupcakes today for Zephan’s preschool birthday snack. Just thought I’d post them in case one of you is in need of a simple, cute themed cupcake idea!
The cupcakes are made from a gluten free mix. The frosting is vanilla buttercream (uber delicious recipe follows), the horns are caramel bugles, and the armor beads are cupcake pearls. I used foil wrappers in copper and silver and tinted the frosting with Wilton black and copper gel food coloring.
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
- 3 C powdered sugar
- 1 C (2 sticks) butter
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 1/2 T your choice flavored creamer or cream (half and half works too)
With a mixer (hand mixer is fine), mix together sugar and butter on low speed until well mixed. Then mix for an additional 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and creamer and mix for another 2 minutes or so. Mix until it’s light and fluffy and spreadable. Yummo! Enjoy!

While I have no reason for a "How to Train your Dragon" party, I'm of 100 percent Swedish descent & we love anything to do with our Viking heritage. My family will get such a kick out of these!
Those are way cute! Have you tasted the caramel Bugles??? Let's just say that if I were to make those cupcakes, there probably wouldn't be any horns! 😉
Cute! Cute!! I am the J snack lady. I think they are getting Jemma's Jiggly Jello Jiggler J's! That is about all I have come up with!

So cute and fun! They sound easy enough to make just because. I think these are going to be the perfect bribe for potty training. Thanks for sharing you creative genius!
