These Grogu (Baby Yoda) cupcakes are as adorable as they are delicious! Decorated with green frosting, candy ears, and big edible eyes, they’re perfect for Star Wars fans of all ages.


Ingredients

  • Base: Basic cupcake mix (vanilla or chocolate)
  • Green food coloring
  • Frosting (buttercream recommended)
  • Fondant or modeling chocolate
  • Edible eyes or candy alternatives
  • Candy for ears (lime slices, apple rings, or fondant)
  • Cupcake liners (brown or galaxy-themed)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bake the Cupcakes
    • Use your favorite vanilla or chocolate cupcake recipe or a boxed mix.
    • Bake as directed and allow cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Decorations
    • Tint your frosting a light green using gel food coloring.
    • Roll fondant or use candy to shape Grogu’s ears.
    • Use edible eyes or chocolate pieces for the eyes.
  3. Step 3: Assemble Your Cupcakes
    • Pipe green frosting onto each cupcake using a piping bag with a star tip for texture.
    • Insert ear shapes into the sides of the frosting swirl.
    • Place eyes in the center of the swirl to create Grogu’s face.
    • Optional: Add robe details using brown fondant strips or chocolate shavings around the base of the frosting.

Chill cupcakes before decorating to help frosting hold shape. Use premade toppers if short on time or for a quick party solution.
