Ingredients:

• 1 box of vanilla cupcake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 cup of water
• Green food coloring
• Green buttercream frosting
• Black decorating gel
• Cactus-shaped fondant decorations
• Edible gold dust optional

Instructions:

Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Put the eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla cupcake mix in a mixing bowl

Mix until it's smooth

Mix in green food coloring to the cupcake batter until it turns the color you want, which should look like a cactus

The green cupcake batter should be about two thirds of the way up each cupcake liner

Bake in an oven that has already been heated for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool all the way down on a wire rack after taking them out of the oven

When the cupcakes are cool, use a piping bag to put green buttercream frosting on top of each one, making a cactus shape

To make the buttercream frosting look like a cactus, use black decorating gel to do so

Put fondant decorations in the shape of cacti on top of each cupcake to make them more fun

You can add edible gold dust to the cactus cupcakes if you want to give them a fun shimmery look

Enjoy your fun and playful cupcakes that were inspired by a cactus party!
