It’s been a few months since my last cupcake creation and I’ve been itching to share another fun design. Today I’m sharing a cupcake perfect for every Inside Out fan. Don’t worry these Bing Bong cupcakes are super easy to make!

Bing Bong Cupcake Ingredients
- Pink Velvet Cake Mix (or white cake mix with pink food dye)
- Chocolate Frosting (I used canned stuff)
- Colored Chocolate Candies: Dark green, light green, yellow, pink, red, light blue, and orange
- Purple Ombre Cupcake Liners (affiliate link)
I actually added a few drops of red food dye to my pink cake mix to make it a darker pink similar to Bing Bong in the movie. I think that’s totally optional though. I loved the purple ombre cupcake liners I found. I thought they mimicked the light and dark purple in his raccoon tail. For some reason I couldn’t find purple raccoon tail cupcake liners anywhere. Crazy, right?!? 😉 I think plain purple liners would also work.
For a smooth chocolate icing look, I warmed up a bowl of chocolate frosting in the microwave (less than 20 seconds). I dipped the cupcakes at first but actually found that just using a spatula to spread the frosting was easier. If your frosting is too warm and runny, it will run down the sides of the cupcake. Don’t ask how I know. 😉
After about 30 seconds or so (letting the frosting firm up a bit), add your chocolate candies in the shape of Bing Bong’s flower lapel pin. Then place the cupcakes in the fridge to let the frosting finish setting. Done!
