No mistake, I did not mean cupcakes! These cupcakes are based on the film UP and are just as light and floaty and fun as the film.
They will hopefully bring a smile to everyones face!
Basically you can use any cupcake recipe and frosting you like. They use miniature multicolored sprinkles to represent balloons and buttercream frosting for clouds.
The main thing to remember is to make the frosting look sort of messy like fluffy clouds, so no piping nessercery.
For the balloons you can use either miniture donuts if you are not gluten intolerant or you can make your own. For easyness I chose to use white chocolate ganache truffles which you then dip into a bowl of sprinkles or sprinkle confetti. 
For the balloon strings I used dried gluten free spagetti which is fairly ok to work with but do break easy so you could also use cocktail sticks.
Basically, take your cake already frosted. Dip your miniture balloons into the sprinkles and attach the spagetti strands to the bottom. Place them into the cupcake and smile!
The only thing I found difficult about this was the fact that the white chocolate ganache was slightly too soft. Also if you are having gluten free like me you can't actually have rainbow sprinkles which is why I chose the pink glitter ones as they don't contain gluten. Makes them look all light and airey though
Enjoy!
