Mini paper liners
c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
4 large egg whites
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

3 large egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 lb. confectioners’ sugar
Red gel food coloring

Sanding sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. 1. To make the cupcakes: Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
   Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners.
2. 2. In a large bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa,
   baking powder, and salt.
3. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy,
   then whisk in the oil, and vanilla. Add the egg white mixture
   to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in
   the chocolate.
4. 4. Divide the batter among the lined muffin cups and bake
   until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean,
   7 to 9 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
   Decorate as desired.
5. 5. To make the icing: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg
   whites and cream of tartar on medium- high speed until
   foamy, about 1 minute.
6. 6. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sugar,
   beating until just incorporated. Increase the speed to high
   and beat until medium-stiff glossy peaks forms, 5 to 7 minutes.
7. 7.Separate into bowls and tint different colors. Transfer 1/3
   of each color to separate pastry bags fitted with fine tips.
   Use a few drops of water to thin the icing remaining in the
   bowls for flooding: place in separate resealable bags;
   snip off the corners.
8. 8. Using the thicker icing, outline the lovebug wings on the
   cupcakes, then flood using the thinner icing. Decorate
   while the icing is still wet. For multiple colors, let each
   icing dry before applying another.
