Campfire Cupcake Recipe

This past weekend, my daughters decided to throw themselves a camping-themed birthday party. They were determined to bring the outdoors inside due to the unpredictable British weather, which, unfortunately, stayed true to its soggy reputation. It rained steadily the entire time, dashing our hopes of lighting a campfire. However, all was not lost! We managed to salvage the day by creating a batch of campfire cupcakes that looked almost as good as the real thing. I found the idea for these cupcakes while browsing through an old Betty Crocker recipe book. For the base, I used our standard cupcake mix—4 ounces each of butter, caster sugar, and self-raising flour, along with two eggs. To give them a chocolatey twist, I added a generous helping of cocoa powder and a splash of orange essence. The frosting was a simple buttercream with orange food coloring and more orange essence, which we piped onto the cooled cupcakes. To mimic the appearance of a campfire, we decorated the tops with twiglets to resemble logs. The most fun part came when we created the flames. We crushed boiled sweets (hard candies) using a rolling pin in a plastic bag, then spread the colorful shards out on a baking sheet. After heating them slightly in the oven at a low temperature, the candies melted just enough to form a fiery, amber glow. Breaking them into jagged pieces gave the illusion of flickering flames, and they looked absolutely stunning against the dark chocolate frosting. To complete the theme, we skewered marshmallows onto cocktail sticks and placed them on top of the cupcakes to resemble toasted marshmallows. The visual effect was spot-on, but it’s worth noting that not everyone appreciated the marshmallow topping. A few guests confessed they weren’t fans, so next time, we’ll probably bake some plain cupcakes alongside these to cater to different tastes. Despite the lack of a proper campfire, everyone agreed that the effort we put into these cupcakes made the party memorable. The kids especially loved smashing the candies and watching them transform in the oven. If you're looking to add a touch of whimsy to your next celebration, these campfire cupcakes are definitely worth trying—they’re equal parts delicious and eye-catching!
