How to make unicorn cupcakes at the new Bakebe baking studio

Whether you are a child or an adult, you will probably agree that unicorns are a universally loved mythical creature. With unicorn make-up brushes, unicorn phone cases and unicorn accessories being all the rage, we went to try our hand at making some adorable unicorn cupcakes.

We headed over to Bakebe – a baking studio in Wan Chai that is fully stocked with all the ingredients anyone could ever need to create any kind of bakery masterpiece. It also has iPads with its own proprietary video tutorial app which provides amateur bakers with a step-by-step guide on how to make certain baked goodies.

We started off by preheating the oven. The we headed over to their ingredients station to grab the materials we needed for the first part of this unicorn cupcake adventure – the cake batter ingredients. Once we had enough flour, butter, separated egg yolks, sugar, vanilla essence and milk, we were ready to begin.

The first step was to sift the flour to ensure that your cake will not be lumpy. Then we added the ingredients into a mixer in a specific order to create the creamiest cake batter possible. Once the batter was ready, we put it into a piping bag, to be squeezed into cupcake holders. The cupcakes were baked in the oven for 22 minutes, and then left on the cooling rack with fans for seven minutes.
