Oh dear... I really don't need these, but today is a very special day.
Today is my youngest daughter's birthday. She's a true chocolate lover, so these triple chocolate whammy cupcakes were right up her alley!
Here's the first part of the Triple Chocolate Whammy - the German Chocolate cupcake batter recipe is from Rose's Heavenly Cakes (man are they good).
Part 2 - I used a squirt bottle to fill the cupcakes with chocolate ganache syrup...
...lots of ganache syrup.
But that wasn't quite enough chocolate... so I used an Ateco 808 tip and piped on a kid friendly dose of Chocolate-Egg White Buttercream, also from Rose's Heavenly Cakes. Let's just say these were a huge hit in the classroom.:)
A couple helpful observations...
Next time I'll use only the paper liners, or only the foil liners, but using both as the recipe suggested results in a kind of slippery accident waiting to happen when placed inside a cupcake carrier.
Also, the recipe suggested spraying the paper liners with Baker's Joy, but that seemed far too messy, fussy, and prone to oil blobs on the paper liners so I skipped the step entirely and I'm happy to report the paper liners pulled way from the cupcakes just fine.
Happy Fall to everyone in Blogland.And Happy Birthday Little One.
XOXOXOXO

ReplyDeleteYou continue to amaze me with your culinary talent! These look beautiful and I am certain they taste the same! I need something a little quicker to whip up so I amy going to try using a German Chocolate cake mix. Do you think that will work?

ReplyDeleteI'm relieved to see you had the same doming problem I did; I'm thinking that they would have been flatter if I had reduced the oven temp 25 degrees due to the dark pans. And maybe less mixing. Also, I think my batter would have filled more than 14 cups, so I will weigh next time.
ReplyDeleteMy frosting solution was to allow the glaze to cool quite a bit more before I applied it, so that it clung to the domed tops. This worked well.
I am true chocolate lover I gonna prepare some of this certainly... And as well those are fine for kids parties. =)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm...these look great! Thanks for the icing tips :)
