I’m so in love with this idea for turning an every day paper cup into a favor box for candies. Dress them up to match your party or occasion. The post is in French, but the photographs show clearly how to make these. Find the how-tos HERE at Happiness by Gédane.

These Bakery-Style Biscoff Cupcakes Disappear in Minutes

- 1–2 tbsp milk (to loosen, if needed)
For Topping:
- Mini Biscoff biscuits (one per cupcake)
- Crushed biscuits for sprinkling (optional)
Method
Step 1 – Bake the Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 12-hole cupcake tray with cases.
- Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, mixing gently until combined.
- Divide batter evenly into cupcake cases.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and springy.
- Cool completely before frosting.
Step 2 – Make the Biscoff Buttercream
- Beat softened butter until pale and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth.
- Beat in Biscoff spread until fully combined.
- If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp milk for a silky, pipeable consistency.
Step 3 – Decorate
- Pipe swirls of Biscoff buttercream onto cooled cupcakes.
- Top each with a mini Biscoff biscuit.
- Sprinkle crushed biscuits for extra crunch.
Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cupcakes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
- Don’t overbake – cupcakes should be soft and springy.
- Chill the frosting slightly before piping for firmer swirls.
- Make ahead – cupcakes can be baked the day before and frosted when ready to serve.

I have seen the french site but, the instructions are still not clear! Please help!
Hi Leah, I’ve never made these myself, I just linked to the source. But it looks like they take a paper cut, cut slits about 1/3 of the way down, evenly spaced, and then fold inward, layering the flaps. Then she added decorations/stickers. You can also try google free translation, though I think the photographs are meant to be the best guide!
