Cup Cakes

[Hot_Chocolate]

I love how your mind works!!! I can cut those tiny marshmallows and make polka dot cup cakes. Sheez you are good! Love the spider idea for Halloween

I used the spider a idea once for a bday party for someone. but I iced maries,with melted choc. then used white melted chocolate and made circles starting at the centre. took a toothpick, and then started from the centre to make the straight strands for the web. it looks cool. when it set, I put my 'spider' on with a bit of melted choc

How do you get that intense coulor in the icing? The normal food colouring that you buy just do not make those funky colours. They go kind of pastely.
Ohhhh these are pretty you should be able to make these roses.

I woke up with this idea of making a cupcake with a nice soft chocolatey centre. But nor sure what to use. putting in a block of chocolate before baking it, will be nice. but it'll set again once cool.

so maybe I should make either:
1. chocolate ganache, make a hollow in cupcake after baking and fill it up.
2. make chocolate mousse and add it to hollowed cupcake. And then top it off with chocolate ganache

must still think a bit

Cupcakes are nice but I prefer blueberry muffins.
Got some bananas I'm waiting for to ripen for a banana loaf so I think I will do some blueberry muffins in the mean time.

This always cracks me up,

what about using a needle to fill the cupcake?

then it is easier to make the "hollow"

 

[Hot_Chocolate]

lol

no peder, I will just hollow it the same way I usually do when doing my awesome strawberry cupcakes. Then I use my piping bag to put filling in

unfortunately i have a TERRIBLY unsteady hand, so hollowing will not work for me...
