Encanto Bruno's Vision Cupcakes

After Bruno receives a vision, he places it on a green glowing tablet. The movie's main character Maribel finds her vision from Bruno in pieces in sand in his room at the Casa Casita.
To replicate this scene, here is a recipe for cupcakes made to look like these broken vision pieces! 
The cupcakes have green candy glass on top, made to represent Bruno's visions. And there is brown sugar sprinkled on top to represent the sand!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Resting time for the candy glass 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 35 minutes
Servings 12 cupcakes

Equipment

  • Candy thermometer
  • Piping bag
  • Piping tip

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 12 cupcakes, prepared chocolate or any other flavor
  • 1 16 oz container vanilla or cream cheese frosting
  • 12 drops food coloring
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Candy Glass

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp water
  • 5-1/2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 6 drops green food coloring
  • pinch cream of tartar

Instructions

  • In a medium size saucepan, add the sugar, water, light corn syrup, green food coloring, and cream of tartar. Mix using a whisk.
  • Bring your ingredients to a boil while making sure to whisk continually.
  • Continue to whisk and boil until you reach the temperature of 275°.
  • Once it has reached optimal temperature, pour your contacts onto a small to medium size cookie sheet. You will want it to be the same height and thinness, so using the back of a spoon or a heat safe spatula, level out your candy.
  • Allow the candy to cool on your cookie sheet for at least two hours.
  • While your candy is cooling, prepare your frosting.
  • Add 12 drops of green food coloring to your frosting. (You can add more or less depending on your preference.) Mix well together. Add to your piping bag your piping tip, and then your frosting. Cut the tip of your piping bag and allow the tip to fall into the hole and push your frosting down.
  • Pipe your cupcakes.
  • If you choose to add your brown sugar to represent the sand, sprinkle that on now.
  • Once the two hours is up, and your glass candy is ready, break the glass using the back of a spoon.
  • Continue to break until you reached your desired size for each shard of glass.
  • Stick 3 to 5 pieces of glass to top your cupcake.
  • Enjoy!
