Serves: 12 | Prep: 15 min | No baking needed if using ready cupcakes
The cutest “ice-cream” that never melts – perfect party trick that has everyone smiling!
Ingredients
- 12 baked cupcakes (any flavour – vanilla or chocolate work best)
- 2 cups vanilla frosting (buttercream or store-bought)
- Chocolate syrup
- Sprinkles (hundreds and thousands)
- Maraschino cherries (with stems)
Method
- Frost cupcakes to look like ice cream scoops (use a piping bag or spoon and swirl high).
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- Add sprinkles and top with a cherry.
- Chill slightly before serving for the full sundae look!
Pro Tips
- Pipe the frosting in a big swirl using a large round nozzle for the real scoop effect.
- Keep in the fridge until serving time – they look fresher longer.
- Swap chocolate syrup for caramel or strawberry sauce for variety.
- Make the day before – just add cherries at the last minute so they stay bright.
