Whenever you decide to make them you will be pleasantly surprised by the sweet and salty combination.
Here's what you need:
- Goldfish (your preference: color, pretzel, original)
- Granola
- Green Fruit Roll Up (or Laffy Taffy)
- Your Favorite Ccupcake Mix
- Your Favorite Icing
- 24 Cupcake Paper Cups
- Cupcake Baking Tray
- Large Round Ssprinkles
- Blue Food Coloring
SO let's wash our hands and get started!
Start out by checking your cake recipe for the specific baking temperature, and preheat
your oven to that degree.
1. Mix your favorite white cake batter.
2. Arrange 12 white paper baking cups in one of your cupcake baking trays (remember they cook better when doing them one at a time, but it's ok to do two trays if it fits in your oven). Fill 2/3 the way (HINT: fill a ziplock bag with your batter and cut a tiny hole in the bottom corner to squeeze batter into the cups).
3. Bake cupcakes for the recommended time of your recipe, or until the tops are slightly golden
4. Test the center with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. If the inside is still wet and the outside is done, turn down the temperature of your oven and cover with aluminum foil to finish baking.
5. Cool cupcakes on wire rack - careful not to burn yourself getting them out.
6. Mix your favorite vanilla frosting recipe, adding a very light blue tint with the blue food coloring (HINT: start by adding only 3 drops. If you need more, add one at a time).
7. When your cupcakes have cooled, frost them with your blue frosting.
8. Lay out either your fruit roll up or laffy taffy and cut into one inch pieces. Pinch the bottom half so it has that leaf look.

9. Place one leaf on the right and one leaf on the left side of the cupcake.
10. Drop a pinch of granola on the bottom in between the leaves (this will be your gravel).
11. Put your goldfish on top (I used two).
12. Add the finishing touches by placing two or three large white sprinkles above the fish so it looks like air bubbles.
Ta-da!
Now you've got some pretty impressive cupcakes that LOOK a lot harder to make then they actually are.
