FAQ

Can I make the cupcakes ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake the cupcakes a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Frost them just before serving for the freshest look.

Do I need a blacklight for the glow effect?

Yes, the glow-in-the-dark effect only works under a UV or blacklight. Without one, the tonic water won’t visibly glow.

Can I use any other liquid to make the frosting glow?

Tonic water with quinine is the best option, but some vitamin B2-rich liquids may also glow under UV light.

What food or drink pairs well with these cupcakes?

Pair these cupcakes with a glow-in-the-dark punch (made with tonic water and fruit juices) or a dark chocolate hot cocoa for a rich contrast.
