Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, 2/3 cup butter and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until light and fluffy (1 to 2 minutes). Continue beating, adding eggs one at a time, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in all remaining cupcake ingredients by hand.
  • Pour into 8 greased and floured 6-ounce custard cups. Place custard cups on 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from cups; cool completely.
  • Combine all frosting ingredients except food color in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth and creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup frosting.
  • Divide remaining frosting into small bowls for as many colors as desired. Stir 1 to 2 drops food color into each bowl; mix well. If necessary, cut top of cupcakes off so surface is flat; place flat-side down. Frost rounded side of each cupcake; smooth frosting.
  • Fit pastry bag with small hole decorator tip; fill with white frosting. Starting at center top of cupcake pipe 5 radiating lines over top and down sides of cake (to look like seams in baseball cap). Place 1 candy-coated chocolate piece at center top.
  • Cut front hat pieces (brims) from construction paper; write names on brims, if desired. Place 1/2 inch of hat brims under each cupcake, forming hats. Place cupcakes on individual serving plates.
  • TIP: Batter can be baked in greased and floured 12-cup muffin pan. 12 cupcakes

    I often bake cakes for work colleagues for birthdays and other special occasion. For the baseball fans in my office, this works well, and everyone can pick from their favorite team. Thanks so very much. The big kids like 'em too.
