These cupcakes are very simple to make. Even if they crack a little, you can always cover it up with piping at the end and they will still look great.

Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Christmas Cupcakes, Soft and Adorable With a No-Crack Recipe — step 1 visual checkpoint.

    Heat the corn oil, pour it over the sifted cake flour, and stir quickly until smooth. Add the condensed milk, three egg yolks, and one whole egg, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, add lemon juice to the three egg whites and whip them, adding the sugar in three additions, until stiff peaks form. Fold one third of the meringue into the yolk batter until evenly combined, then pour the batter back into the remaining meringue and fold gently until just mixed.

    ✅ Done when: The batter is smooth with no flour streaks, and the meringue holds stiff, upright peaks when the whisk is lifted.

    Whip the heavy cream with the sugar until firm. If any cupcake domes too high, trim it flat, then spread on a layer of cream and use the strawberries to create whatever design you like. Draw faces with the melted chocolate and sprinkle a layer of shredded coconut as snow.

    ✅ Done when: The cream holds firm, stiff peaks and keeps its shape when spread on the cupcakes.
