WATERMELON CUPCAKES
These watermelon cupcakes will be perfect for any summer event. They're tender and sweet with a hint of watermelon flavor. The frosting is rich, creamy, sweet, and delicious on top of the cupcakes. Watermelon and cupcakes are the usual picnic fare. Combine the two and you have a really great fresh taste. We loved these cupcakes...

- 10. Put the icing into a piping bag with number 1 tip or however you want to ice them.
WATERMELON CUPCAKES
My granddaughter and I bake together each week. She was inspired by her mommy's flavored syrups, so we came up with these watermelon cupcakes. If you are not going to pipe the frosting, you can reduce the amount of frosting by half. -Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl combine the butter and sugar, beat using an electric mixer, 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add in the egg whites, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly with the electric mixer. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a few spoonfuls at a time. Mix until just incorporated. Add in a small amount of Wilton's "leaf green" gel food coloring until you get your desired green color. Fill the muffin liners 1/2-3/4 full.
- Bake for 17-19 minutes at 350º F or until a few moist crumbs remain on a toothpick when inserted into the center. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding the frosting.
- In a mixing bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and the watermelon kool aid powder, beat together.
- Add in more powdered sugar as you see fit, up to 2 more cups,
- A small amount of red food coloring (to give the frosting a pinkish color), mixing one last time with an electric mixer until it's smooth and combined.
- Place the buttercream in a large piping bag fit with a 1m wilton piping tip. Push the buttercream down into the bag. Pipe the buttercream onto the cupcakes, starting in the center of the cupcake, swirling out, and then swirling back into the center, progressively stacking the frosting as you get to the center.

Steps:
- Reserve about 3/4 cup white buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Color about 1 1/2 cups buttercream deep green. Color about 3 cups buttercream deep pink, with a few drops of red added to make the color of ripe watermelon.
- Arrange 19 cupcakes in a triangle shape, starting with 1 at the top and ending with 6 at the bottom, sloping the bottom sides up to resemble the curved rind of a watermelon wedge.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to dollop about 1/4 cup green buttercream on each of the 6 cupcakes in the bottom row. Smooth with a small offset spatula, covering the tops and sides (but not the paper liners), to make a solid line of green for the rind.
- Wash and dry the ice cream scoop and offset spatula. Dollop about 1/4 cup pink buttercream on each of the remaining cupcakes and smooth the tops and sides with the offset spatula. Shape the frosting on the top cupcake into a point to resemble the tip of a watermelon wedge.
- Wash the offset spatula again. Pipe a curved line of white buttercream along where the pink and green buttercream meet. Smooth with the tip of the offset spatula to make the inner white part of the watermelon rind.
- Press jelly beans in a random pattern to make watermelon seeds.
