how beautiful!
Beautiful! is the rose bud made from icing? Or is it a real rose bud? Thanks.
We have used real rosebuds to decorate these cakes.
I also would like to duplicate this where did you get the silver balls just at like a craft store or something?
We purchased the silver balls (also known as 'silver dragees' or 'cachous') from a supermarket. You could also try a cake decorating store.
I love the idea of cupcakes for a wedding,how do you keep the cupcake paper from pulling away from the cupcake,and where can you get pretty cupcake papers?
Hi Deb,
We don't do anything special to prevent the cases from coming away from the cakes. The icing might help to hold the cases in place.
We purchase plain cupcake cases from supermarkets, and decorative cases from kitchenware or cake decorating stores. If you are unable to find nice cases in your area, they can be ordered online.
With these cupcakes how long ahead of time can you bake these?
Hi Becky,
We think you could bake and ice these cupcakes up to four days before serving.
Amanda and Debbie,
How long would you bake these cupcakes for in a fan forced oven? My oven only has a fan forced option.
Many thanks,
Lauren
Hi Lauren,
We would bake these cupcakes at 130 degrees Celsius fan-forced.
I've only just read the comments and noticed a while back that Deb asked how you stop the cake from coming away from the paper cases. I have found that if you take the cases out of the pan (muffin pan) as soon as they come out of the oven and put on a wire rack to cool that has helped as I think if you leave them in they sort of steam somehow.
I made these cupcakes for my friends and they were beautiful! Thanks for the great recipe.
Such beautiful cupcakes.
I was wondering how far in advance can the cupcakes be made and icing put on?
I was hoping to make it for a birthday and its in December so it'll be hot?
Thanks!
Could you please let me know if you have to keep cupcakes refrigerated? I would like to make them 2 or 3 days before birthday
The cupcakes could be made and iced up to four days in advance. If using simple icing, you would not need to refrigerate the cakes. If using ganache, the cakes would need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Hi, I was just wondering if this cupcake would still taste nice if i was to use a simple icing sugar recipe for the icing?
Yes, we think the white chocolate mud cupcakes taste nice with a simple icing (mostly icing sugar, a little water or milk, and possibly some butter).
