Jinx Cupcakes from League of Legends: an Explosive Recipe

Jinx from League of Legends is a chaotic girl with blue pigtails and a love of explosions. Cupcakes in her style — bright blue with 'explosive' decorations — are one of the most popular cosplay recipes among LoL fans.

History and origin

Jinx debuted in LoL in 2013 and quickly became a fan favourite. In the Arcane series (Netflix, 2021) her story was told in more detail, further boosting the character's popularity and cosplay culture.

Key ingredients

Jinx cupcakes: vanilla batter with blue and purple food colouring. Frosting: blue cream-cheese buttercream (cream cheese + icing sugar + colouring). Decorations: fondant stars, caramel 'explosions', mini rockets from chocolate sticks.

How to cook at home

For intense blue frosting use gel food colouring, not liquid — liquid thins the cream. Let the frosting rest in the fridge for 1 hour after colouring — the colour will deepen.
