Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a pro with the piping bag? Nah, you got this! The great thing about these chick cupcakes is they’re all about the fun and flair, not the perfection. A little wobble here and there just adds character to your chicks.

Can I use store-bought frosting? Absolutely! If you’re in a rush or just want to keep it extra simple, grab some yellow frosting from the store. Just make sure it’s at room temperature to make the piping smooth.

What if I don’t have a piping bag? No stress! Just snip the corner off a resealable food-storage plastic bag, and you’ve got yourself a DIY piping bag. Easy peasy.

Tips for Making This Recipe with Kids

• Cupcake Decorating Party: Set up a decorating station with all the fixings—frosting, chocolate chips, and orange frosting. Let the little helpers transform the cupcakes into baby chicks with their own unique flair.
• Sprinkle Magic: Kids love sprinkles! Let them dip the frosted cupcake tops into yellow decorating sugar for that extra sparkle.
• Beak Making: Using a butter knife or the back of a spoon, kids can help add the orange frosting beaks to each chick.
