The Martha Stewart Cupcakes Club assignment coincides with The Son's class party— perfect!
The Son's teacher apparently has banned candy from being exchanged, but as Class Parent and Party Planner, I get a little leeway, no? I'm going to put a little chocolate ♡ on the cupcake.
The tracing, a bit large, was a rough guide.
With a little help from Candy Melts and a disposable piping bag,
I was able to pipe these babies out in a few minutes.
The cake part shouldn't have been difficult. The recipe called for cake flour, which I didn't have on hand, so I *stupidly* subbed in all-purpose. The batter, which called for egg whites (instead of the normal whole eggs,) turned out heavy and thick; I think this cupcake will be more muffin than cake-like. My bad.
The recipe can found at the Baking Sisters site; if you'd like to see all the other beautiful cupcakes, look here!
The chocolate hearts are very cute!!! I am posting mine today! Nice pics too! :)

They look great! I bet the kids loved them. I love the way you did your hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for baking along! I really love the chocolate hearts and I'm sure none of the kids noticed the flour sub.
ReplyDeleteI love your toppers! And those oreo truffles...I have to try those too!
ReplyDeletesweet! What a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteBanning candy? What is this world coming to?

Great cupcakes! Oh the texture of MS cupcake recipes. See you next month.
ReplyDeleteI love the chocolate hearts. I have done that before too - not using cake flour. I always know it isn't going to work, but I do it anyway. Since I am a teacher, I do sort of get the banning candy... the chocolate hearts was a great way around that. I am sure your son's class enjoyed these!
