How to make the cutest Paddington Bear Cupcakes with step-by-step directions and free printables to make your favorite children's book character come to life through cake! Perfect dessert for a birthday party or school event.
After baking or buying the cupcakes, make the bear's nose by placing 6-9 candy melts onto the parchment paper. Melt in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds.
Take it out of the microwave and carefully place a chocolate chip, pointed side down, into the candy melt. Placing the chocolate chip in different areas of the candy melt make each nose unique.
Let cool completely before placing on cupcakes.
Decorate Bear Cupcakes
While the candy cools, pipe the chocolate frosting onto the cupcakes using a grass decorating tip.
Download, Print and Trim the Free Printable Paddington Hats and tags. TIP: Laminate the hats before cutting to keep them well preserved on the cake.
Pick out your favorite color of candy sprinkles for his eyes. I chose blue.
Place the candy melt nose on the frosted bear cupcake.
Gently add a paper hat. If the hat gets messy, that's okay because Paddington is a messy bear and his hat is usually dirty!
I used matte photo paper for my hats, but the chocolate frosting still soaked into the paper just a bit. I actually liked how the chocolate made the hat look worn. You can laminate the hats to prevent the frosting from ruining the paper hats.
Drop two sprinkles onto the cupcake for the eyes. Use a toothpick to fix your eyes just right. You can also use blue icing if you prefer.
Display these cute Paddington Bear Cupcakes with the "Please Look After This Bear" tags. Just add some string to the tags and place around the cupcake.
