Hello my dears!
And again... I'm sorry, that I didn't post for so long! Now I just have a quick Chocolate-Cupcake recipe with a simple icing/decoration but it looks really cute! ^.^
Did you notice the little flowers growing out of the earth? This looks so much like spring, so I tried to bake something look-alike. So the cake is the ground, that's why it has to be a chocolatey dough!
First, here's the recipe:
For 24 Cupcakes or 48 Mini-Cupcakes
100g cocoa powder
400g flour
450ml boiling water
3-4 teaspoons baking powder
300g butter
400g sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Just mix it all together and bake it on 180°C for about 15-20 minutes!
For the icing I just used regular icing with egg white so it dries and it's much more applicable with a piping bag! ^.^
Add green and yellow food colouring (seperate, for sure!) and use a leaf pipe for the leaves. It should look like this:
If you want, I can make a little tutorial how to make leaves or even how to handle a piping bag! :) Just leave a message and I'll try to explain it as easy as possible!
For the petals you use a petal pipe! :D Petals are even more difficult than leaves, I think, because you have to wait to make it look perfect, so it can dry.
I also created a few nests and put some chocolate eggs inside!
With best regards,
Francine
