- 2 1/2 c. Flour
- 2 c. Sugar
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 C. Whole Milk
- Blue Frosting
- Black Color Mist
- Pretzel Sticks
- Marshmallows
Start creating these super themed cupcakes by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter and eggs and whisk together until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredienrs and stir until the mixture is fully combined and there are no lumps.
Bake at 350 degrees for roughly 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Once cooled, remove the center of the cupcake with a knife.
Add some coordinating sprinkles to the center for a fun surprise. We found ours at Bakery Bling!
Replace the center of the cupcake and press firmly so the excess cake is back in its orignal location.
To make these cupcakes easier, we used pre-made icing. If you do the same, we suggest rolling the package in your hands for a minute of two to soften the frosting.
Ice your cupcakes. Don't worry if it doesn't look perfect – it's getting a topper anyway!
Now to create Thor's Hammer! Use a coloring mist (found in the baking aisle) and give your marshmallows an uneven coating to create a textured and heavy appearance.
To create the base, break the pretzel sticks to roughly 2/3 of their original length.
Insert the pretzel stick into the base of the marshmallow. Repeat for as many cupcakes as you need.
Assemble the Striped Cupcake Wrappers and add your cupcakes.
Add a marshmallow Thor's Hammer to each cupcake.
Display the Thor's Hammer Cupcakes on a cupcake stand decorated with red cotton rickrack for an extra cute detail!
Your little superheroes won't be able to resist these tasty treats!
