An easy do-it-yourself how-to video and recipe on how to make Poop Emoji Cupcakes. Why Poop emoji? Why not? It is a fan favorite when it comes to emojis.
My husband recently celebrated his 60th birthday. As a joke, I made him these adorable and delicious poop emoji cupcakes. The cupcakes are made from a box mix, but with a few extra ingredients added and changed so they taste fluffy and homemade (see the recipe below for the changes and additions). And my buttercream is the best ever. I can provide it, see my classic buttercream frosting recipe. I also bought the edible eyes at a local craft store, but you can find them here too.
My family had so much fun with these cupcakes and proclaimed them delicious, that I also made them for a friend who was celebrating his birthday. They are certainly fun for any occasion.
