What You Will Need for Fox Themed Cupcakes

  • Cupcake liners – Don’t forget these!

  • Heart deco candy – For that cute little foxy nose!

How to Make Fox Cupcakes

The best part about these cupcakes is that it all starts with a box mix.

You’ll just make those cupcakes exactly as the box tells you and let them cool.

And then the fun begins!

You’ll fill one of the piping bags with white frosting and cover each cupcake with it completely. 

Then you’ll fill the orange frosting into a piping bag with a small star tip to create that fox fur look. It’s a bit like a semi-circle or crescent with a tip. Or an umbrella, however you look at it. 

Now, you’ll make the ears by using the chocolate frosting in a piping bag with the small leaf tip. Just pop them right on!

You’ll then take the chocolate frosting in a piping bag with a small opening so you can draw on the eyes and nose tip.

And on that cute little nose tip if you desire, the finishing touch…that heart deco candy!

It’s also just as cute without the little candy addition, btw, in case you can’t find them. 

Now see how easy that is?

You’ve got the most adorable Fox Cupcakes that everyone will love. They’ll ask, “Oh, where did you buy these?”

And then you can proudly declare you didn’t buy them. You made them!
