Princess Leia Cupcakes are charming Star Wars-themed treats inspired by the iconic hairstyle of Princess Leia. Whether for a Star Wars party or just for fun, these cupcakes are a delightful way to celebrate one of the galaxy’s most beloved heroines, combining creativity with delicious flavors that fans of all ages will enjoy.
Spoon the cake batter into the cupcake liners (fill about ½ way up) and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, and then frost.
Generously frost each cupcake with a thin layer of white icing.
Using a thin writing tip (I used a #4) take your black icing, start one side of the hair first, from the center down. (You will want to create a middle part) Add the other side of the hair and then add the eyes.
To make the mouth use a small amount of your white frosting and add one drop of red food coloring to make pink. You can also use heart candies to make a cute simple mouth if you have any on hand.
For the hair buns, use a dab of icing to stick Oreos to the sides of the cupcake liner. To get rid of the ‘white line’ from the creamy center of the Oreo simply run a thin layer of black frosting down the center of each Oreo.
