Looking through multiple chocolate cupcake recipes I finally found one that makes them moist and yummy! It seems to come down to the addition of buttermilk... the one I decided on is on one of my favourite treat blogs the frosted cake n cookie!
So usually I do a new set of cupcakes every weekend and this week I used my new found recipe to create some super yummy chocolate cupcakes with chocolate butter cream on top, I have a new icing tip with is the 1M, which gives a really nice full swirl! Yum!
They have now been added to my collection for order, they are a great simple cupcake which I think would be good for any occasion, they look great in the metallic cases, which I think I am gonna use more of as they don't go oily in once the cupcakes are baked!
I also tried fondant for the first time and made a fatal mistake, I added liquid food coloring ...... this makes it sticky and practically un usuable! I was about to throw in the towel for good but after research online (which I should have done before I started) I learned that using gel paste coloring is best... So may give it another go
BUT this weekend is for a trial run of some Halloween cupcakes! On the 29th of Oct I have promised that I will sell some treats at my work....
I was thinking Count Dracula cupcakes (this is what I may trial this weekend), Spider web cupcakes and other scary treats! Keep an eye out for the pics as you might want to order some!
I also am keen to try out some more flavoured cupcakes after success with carrot cupcakes, Im thinking lemon or apple.... which would be nicer? thoughts?
