Improvements
I enjoyed making and eating the chocolate orange cupcakes so much I thought I would make another batch of them! This time, instead of using chocolate buttercream (which was a bit too heavy) I used chocolate ganache (single cream and plain chocolate, melted, cooled and whipped up). This gave a lovely light finish to the cupcake rather than having a heavy topping that sits in your stomach!
Now that I have learnt the basics of making and decorating cakes, I thought I would experiment a bit.
I baked a small amount of chocolate biscuit recipe and used some small cookie cutters to make some little biscuits which I thought would make great cupcake toppers!
I used cocktail sticks to put them in the cakes, but if you are serving them to children, its best to use edible uncooked spaghetti, in case they hurt themselves!
The cupcakes were covered in chocolate ganache and edible glitter (so pretty!).
I then iced the little biscuits using royal icing, flooding them with different colours and designs.
My favourite ones are these heart ones! I am really pleased with how they have turned out! I feel like I am slowly getting better at baking :)
Thanks for reading!
