Captain America Inspired Cupcakes #Recipe #CaptainAmerica #Marvel #MarvelInfinityWar

In the upcoming Marvel's Infinity War;  Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet -- the evil Thanos.  In honor of the upcoming movie, why not make some Captain America inspired Cupcakes!

Ingredients:

• 1 box of white cake mix, any brand
• 1 1/4 C. water
• 1/2 C. vegetable oil 
• 4 egg whites
• Cupcake liners 
• Blue gel food coloring 
• White frosting, any brand
• 12 oz package of Wilton red candy melts
• large gallon freezer bag 
• Avengers silicone mold (I suggest purchasing 2 in order to cut down on the candy making time) 
• 12 count muffin tin 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the cupcake liners into the muffin wells. 
2. Combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil and egg whites mixing well.
     
   
3. Add in the several drops of the blue gel food coloring and stir to combine.
     
   
4. Fill each cupcake well about 2/3 full. 
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes. 
6. Insert a toothpick into the cupcakes around 18 minutes. If it comes out clean the cupcakes are done. 
7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool. 
8. Pour the Wilton red candy melts into a microwave safe dish. 
9. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring occasionally until melted.
    
   
    
10. Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into the Captain America (round star) section of the mold. 
11. Place in the fridge to set about 20 minutes. 
12. Remove from the fridge and gently pop the stars out of the silicone mold. Repeat this process until you have 16 red stars total (you might want to purchase 2 molds for this purpose).
     
    
13. Scoop the white frosting in the large gallon freezer bag.
      
    
14. Gently squeeze the frosting from the bag and onto the top of the cupcake in a circular motion.
      
    
15. Place a red circular star candy on top of the frosting.
     
    
16. Repeat with all cupcakes. 

*Makes approximately 16 cupcakes.
