Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with festive liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the melted unsalted butter and vegetable oil until well combined. Add cold brew coffee, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking together for about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
- Spoon batter into prepared liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for approximately 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.
- Melt white melting wafers in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour into ribbon molds and refrigerate to set for about 15 minutes.
- Cream softened butter until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for a smooth consistency.
- Add blue food coloring to the frosting and mix well to ensure even color.
- Pipe a circular layer of frosting onto each cooled cupcake to create a wreath appearance. Decorate with chocolate ribbons and blue party sprinkles.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Chilling decorated cupcakes helps keep them intact.
