This lesson was a chance for us to have a go at a number of different things e.g. fillings and toppings. I baked 12 cupcakes for the lesson (which means 12 cakes in muffin cases and baked in a muffin tin) I then had a go at making Rocky Road Cupcakes, decorated, piped and filled cupcakes.
Rocky Road Cupcakes:
Bake vanilla or chocolate cupcakes.
Frost with chocolate buttercream or something like chocolate spread.
Decorate with mini marshmallows, mini fudge pieces, white choc buttons, maltesers or any other naughty chocolate delight you want!
Finish with a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Piped Cupcakes:
Using a petal tip on a piping bag and starting at the outside edge pipe a wavy circle, continue in circles to the centre.
Another idea: If you are not that keen on the large star tip cupcakes that use a lot of sickly icing then use a small star tip on the piping bag and pipe in a swirl from the centre outwards.
Cherry Pie Cupcakes:
Using any flavour cupcake you wish, frost with buttercream and then place red (for cherries) smarties on top. Next pipe on melted chocolate to give the lattice effect of the pie and finish with a drizzle around the edge of the cake as the pie crust.
Filled Cupcakes:
Obviously the choices are endless but I chose to fill lemon cupcakes with lemon curd and then top with lemon buttercream for a lemon explosion!
Fondant Icing Cupcakes:
Again there are many options for this but in the class I just decided to use my circle cutters and tools to make a pig face, I think he looks cute!
