How to Make Friendship Bracelet Cupcakes
These are not professional-looking cupcakes, but they are cute and fun. They would be great for a Taylor Swift listening party, a friendship bracelet-themed birthday, or even to celebrate seeing Taylor in concert!
Ingredients:
- Cupcake Mix (plus ingredients to make them)
- Buttercream Frosting
- Smarties
- Food Marker
- Sprinkles
Make Cupcakes
Make cupcakes according to package directions. You can also make cupcakes from scratch, but I was going for easy here.
I made buttercream frosting from scratch because I like the taste better. I always use the Wilton recipe.
I used a star tip to frost the cupcakes, but I did end up smoothing out the frosting for a few of them. I think both look cute, so frost the cupcakes however you like.
Create “Alphabet Beads”
I purchased a package of Smarties and unwrapped them. I matched the colors, so all the Smarties were the same color for each album name.
I originally wanted to do all white, so they looked even more like real alphabet beads, but there were not enough in each package.
Using a food-safe marker, write one letter on each Smartie to spell out whatever words you want. I made a cupcake for each of Taylor Swift’s albums.

Decorate the Cupcakes
Start by adding the Smarties first to ensure you have enough room. You can only fit five Smarties across for a standard-size cupcake, so keep that in mind.
If I were to make these again, I would probably try to find round, white sprinkles that are smaller.
Add sprinkles to look like beads around the Smarties. I purchased five bottles of sprinkles. Michaels and JoAnn both have a large number of sprinkles to choose from.
I had to make do a little since I didn’t have any black sprinkles, for example, for the Reputation cupcake, so I used gold.
I wanted it to look like the cupcakes wore the bracelets, so I made a U shape with each row of “bracelets.”
You could also make a circle on the top of sprinkles and letters to look like a friendship bracelet sits on top of the frosting.
These were so fun to make. I would have liked to have more colors of sprinkles, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune, and I think these still turned out so cute!
