Shark Attack Cupcakes Recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 box vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box

2/3 c. white chocolate chips, melted

Black food coloring

1 (12-oz.) jar strawberry sauce

3 c. whipped topping

Blue food coloring

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners. Prepare vanilla cake batter according to package instructions and divide between cupcake liners. Bake according to package instructions. Let cool completely.

2. Meanwhile, make shark fins: Mix melted white chocolate and a few drops of black food coloring, until desired color is achieved. Transfer to piping bag. Pipe fin shapes onto a small parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer.

3. When cupcakes are cool, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke wells into each cupcake. Fill each hole with strawberry sauce, about 1 teaspoon in each.

4. In a large bowl, add 5 drops blue food coloring into the whipped topping and fold to combine. Add more food coloring if needed until desired color is achieved.

5. Frost cupcakes with whipped topping, then top with shark fins and serve.
