What’s better than yummy pink cupcakes? Friendship! But cupcakes are pretty good, too. Our friend Unicorn from the Unicorn Horse story agrees. There was a funny part in the story where Unicorn makes rainbows, and horses do not. Let’s have fun making pink cupcakes at home!
First, wash your hands with soap and water. It’s important to have clean hands before baking.
Mix the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Ask a grown-up to help with the mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla. Be careful not to get eggshells in the bowl. If you do, just take them out.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together.
Mix everything together and add the buttermilk. This makes the batter for your cupcakes.
Butter the muffin pan or use paper liners so the cupcakes don’t stick. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Ask a grown-up to help with the oven.
Let the cupcakes cool. While they cool, mix pink food coloring into the frosting.
Spread the frosting on top, add eyes, and sprinkle with pink sprinkles for decoration.
Yay! Now you have delicious unicorn cupcakes to enjoy. While you eat them, you can read some fun storybooks. If you need more books, ask a grown-up to help you find a safe library online. Now we know why Unicorn loves cupcakes so much! See you next time! Bye-bye!
Color Mixing Experiment: Let’s explore how colors mix just like we did with the pink food coloring in the frosting. Take some water and divide it into three clear cups. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one cup, blue to another, and yellow to the last one. Now, mix the colors by pouring a little from one cup to another. What new colors can you make? Try to make pink! Discuss with your friends or family what happens when you mix different colors.
Counting and Measuring Game: Gather some measuring cups and spoons. Practice measuring different amounts of water or sand. Can you find out how many teaspoons make a tablespoon? Or how many cups fill a big bowl? This will help you understand how we measured ingredients for the cupcakes. Try to guess the amount before measuring and see if you were right!
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk with a grown-up and look for things that are pink, just like our unicorn cupcakes. Make a list or draw pictures of what you find. Are there any flowers, toys, or signs that are pink? Talk about why you think some things are pink and how they might have gotten their color.

What’s better than pink cupcakes? Friendship! But cupcakes are pretty good, too. Our friend Unicorn from the Unicorn Horse book story agrees. My favorite part of the story was when they said, “Unicorn makes rainbows, and horses do not,” and then there was a funny moment.
Today, we’re going to show you how to make pink cupcakes at home! You’re going to want your grown-ups to help make these delicious treats. Here’s what you’ll need to make them:
– 1 cup of softened butter
– 1 and 1/4 cups of sugar
– Pink food coloring
– 3 large eggs (room temperature)
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1 cup of buttermilk
– Pink sprinkles
– Frosting
**Step 1:** Wash your hands with soap and water. It’s always a good idea to wash your hands before you bake.
**Step 2:** Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. For little kids, have your grown-ups assist you with the hand mixer.
**Step 3:** Add the eggs and vanilla. Always add eggs one at a time, and try not to get any eggshells in the mixture. If you do, just remove it carefully.
**Step 4:** Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
**Step 5:** Mix everything together and add the buttermilk. This is what will turn it into a batter.
**Step 6:** Prepare your muffin tins. You want to make sure to either butter the pan or use lining tins so that the cupcakes don’t stick. Fill the tins about two-thirds of the way to prevent overflow.
**Step 7:** Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
**Step 8:** Allow your cupcakes to cool. While they’re cooling, add the pink food coloring to your frosting and mix.
**Step 9:** Decorate! Add the frosting, then the eyes, and use sprinkles for decoration.
There you have it! Enjoy your delicious cupcakes. While you’re enjoying them, check out some books. If you don’t have books, ask your grown-up to help you find a kids’ safe, ad-free library full of storybooks.
Now I know why Unicorn likes cupcakes so much! See you next time! Bye-bye!
