This recipe makes 22 cupcakes.

Cake Ingredients

• 110g Softened Butter

• 110g Caster Sugar

• 2 Eggs

• ½ tbsp Vanilla Extract 

• 110g Self-Raising Flour

• Green and Pink Sprinkles (filling)

Buttercream 

• 150g Softened Butter

• 300g Icing Sugar

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 3 tbsp Milk

• Pink and Green Food Colouring (optional)

Recipe

1) Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and fill a 12 cupcake tray with cases.

2) Using an electric whisk, beat 110g softened butter and 110g caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Then whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

3) Add ½ tsp vanilla extract, 110g self-raising flour and whisk until just combined then spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases.

4) Bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

5) While you are waiting for the cakes to cool, to make your buttercream start by whisking 150g softened butter until super soft, then add 300g icing sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

6) Whisk together until smooth (start off slowly to avoid an icing sugar cloud) then beat in 3 tbsp milk. If you would like to add your green and pink food colouring, do so now. Leave aside until ready to pipe onto cupcakes.

7) Using a cupcake corer, spoon or knife, core out the center of your cupcakes, saving the center pieces. Fill half of the cupcakes with the desired amount of pink sprinkles and the other half with green sprinkles. Replace the center pieces and gently press on top of each cupcake.

8) Finally, pipe on your buttercream that you made earlier, serve, and let everybody take a bite to see what side they all belong to : Elphaba or Glinda?

I really hoped you enjoyed making (and tasting) these wickedly yummy cupcakes! The brand new ‘Wicked : For Good’ movie is available to book in cinemas from Halloween (October 31st) and is officially released on the 21st of November 2025.

🧁 This recipe makes 12 cupcakes. 🧁

Cupcake Ingredients

• 200g Caster Sugar

• 175g Plain Flour

• 50g Cocoa Powder

• ½ tsp Baking Powder

• ½ tsp Bicarbonate Soda

• Pinch of Salt

• 100ml Sunflower Oil

• 2 Eggs

• 2 tbsp Sour Cream

• 125ml Boiling Water

Buttercream Ingredients

• 200g Unsalted Butter (softened)

• 400g Icing Sugar

• 2 tbsp Milk

Decoration

• 100g Fondant Icing (ready to roll)

• Orange and Red Food Colouring

• 12 White Marshmallows

• Black Writing Icing Tube

• 2 tsp Dessicated Coconut

• 12 Pretzel Sticks (broken in half)

Recipe

1) Preheat the oven to 170C/160C Fan/Gas 3 ½  and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cupcake cases.

2) Sift the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sunflower oil, eggs and sour cream until smooth. Add the boiling water and beat again until silky smooth.

3) Scoop the batter into a jug and pour evenly between the paper cupcake cases. Bake for 20–22 minutes until well risen and a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

4) To make the buttercream, beat the butter until pale and light, then gradually stir in the icing sugar and milk until smooth.

5) Make the snowman noses with 25g of the fondant icing. Add tiny dots of orange food colouring paste using a wooden skewer and knead until completely orange. Roll into 12 small carrot shapes about 1cm/1/2 in length. Leave to dry for 30 minutes.

6) Tint the remaining icing red using the food colouring paste. Dust a work surface with icing sugar and roll into a neat 12cm/4½ in x 6cm/2½ in rectangle. Slice into 12 strips about ½ cm wide, to make the snowman scarves.

7) Use the black writing icing to draw eyes and a mouth onto each marshmallow and stick an icing carrot just below the eyes.

8) Spread the buttercream on top of each cake and press a marshmallow into the icing. Scatter over the desiccated coconut and push two pretzel halves into each side of the cupcake for arms. Pipe black icing buttons onto the buttercream and wrap a red scarf around each marshmallow.

Hopefully we get our very own snow this winter and we can build our own snowmen outside, but in the meantime give these a go and share them around with family and friends! Happy baking!
