Princess Peach Cupcakes Toadstool Cafe Copycat recipe
This is the perfect copycat recipe for Princess Peach Cupcakes just as they serve it in the Toadstool Cafe in Universal Studios Hollywood! We had the chance to be at the opening day of the Super Nintendo World, Hollywood, and my boys went crazy about it. We totally loved it!
We are making all the plans to celebrate my son’s 5th birthday party with a Super Mario Bros-themed party so I will be sharing some great ideas for your Super Nintendo-themed party! check out this Bowser-inspired cupcakes recipe.
Peach Princess Recipe
Princess Peach cupcakes are the cutest thing! I will give you a few options for the crown-shaped cookie to place on top of the cupcake just as they make it in the Toadstool Cafe.
This Princess Peach Recipe will be divided into three different steps. We will start by making the crown-shaped cookies, baking the cupcakes, and finally tips for coloring the frosting and achieving the swirl look.
Princess Peach crown cookies
Just as in the Toadstool Cafe at Super Nintendo World, I decorated the Princess peach cupcakes with a crown shape cookie with red and blue diamonds made with cookie icing.
For the princess crown cookies, you can use a cookie mold or just cut the cookie in a crown shape just as a copycat recipe for princess peach cupcakes at Toadstool Cafe! For this, all you will need will be a small knife to give the shape. I give instructions in this post.

Sugar Cookies Ingredients
You can use any of your favorite sugar cookies recipe. Here is mine!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
- Extra flour for rolling out dough
How to make Crown shaped cookies
Place the sugar and butter in a bowl and using an electric stand mixer beat until it changes color and it looks all incorporated.
Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl.
- Place butter and sugar in a bowl and use a stand mixer to beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mix, and beat until the mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, cover with a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the surface where you will roll out the dough with flour or powdered sugar. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, sprinkle the rolling pin with flour, and roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut into rectangles and then start in the middle of the rectangle creating a triangle that only goes until half the length of the rectangle. From there cut another two triangles on the side just as in the photo, or you can use crown-shaped cookie cutters.
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking oil and place the cookies shaped dough on top. Bake between 7 and 9 minutes at 375 Fahrenheit.
- Let the cookies cold down.
Tips. My dough was a rock when I took it out of the refrigerator but as you start working with the butter starts melting and is easier to work with it.
If the Dought stars to stick place it back in the fridge for 5 minutes.
How to Decorate Crown-Shaped Cookies
Peach Princess has a crown with red and blue diamonds on it. I bought cookie icing in the color blue, red and white. For the first cookies I decorated, I just added the diamonds by using cookie icing and shaping it as a drop for each diamond. I really think that using the white icing to color the edges make the crown look cuter.
Crown cookie shape without a cookie cutter
The authentic Toadstool Cafe peach cupcakes are really easy to replicate as you do not even need a cookie cutter.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick.
- With a fruit knife cut the dough into rectangles of around 1 1/4 long.
- Start on the medium part making a triangle and then from there make another two triangles on the edges.
- Bake the cookies.
- Once they are cold use the cookie icing to decorate.
How to color Pink Frosting
I bought already-made cream cheese frosting and used gel food coloring. Here is my favorite brand. Star by placing the white frosting on three different plates. Now you will add a few drops of food coloring to each plate and mix. Star with just 3 to 4 drops and check out if you like the color or add more coloring until achieving the right color for you.
- For the white frosting, I am just using the store-bought cream cheese frosting.
- For pink frosting mix the cream cheese frosting with the pink coloring.
- For more intense pink color, you can add some extra food coloring or add a drop of red food coloring.
How to Make Princess Peach Swirl Frosting for Cupcakes and Cakes
For this Pink Swirl cupcake frosting, I used two different tones of pink and white. Swirl icing is very easy to make.
- Fill a piping bag with each of the colors you want to use.
- Now in a clean piping bag add a strip of each color.
- Push the icing down and start decorating those cupcakes!
Princess Peach Cupcakes
For the cupcakes, I used a cake box mix in strawberry flavor. I will recommend better using a red velvet cake mix. The strawberry flavor wasn’t my favorite. This recipe takes some time as you need to make the cookies beforehand so I actually started a day before baking the cookies and decided to use a cake mix for the cupcakes instead of making them from scratch.
How cute are these pinky cupcakes? Princess Peach is for sure the hero along with Mario in the last super hit movie Super Mario Bros. You can’t leave Princess Peach food ideas out of your birthday party!
I hope you enjoy this great idea that works great instead of having a princess peach cake recipe for your party.
