Once again the best recipe came from the ‘Devine Cupcakes’ by Tamara Jane. The cupcakes turned out light and flavoursome. This recipe also had the cupcake rise to perfect height when the cups were ¾ filled.
This time I experimented with white chocolate ganache to top the cupcakes as I thought this would have a better flavour with a little vanilla. I used vanilla paste as I didn’t want excess liquid to spoil the ganache. I used Whittaker’s White chocolate, which was lovely; however I must have done some thing wrong this time around as the ganache just seemed to separate, I need to work on this I think.
The order was for yellow and pink with flowers and butterflies. Luckily this time around I had my butterfly cutters on hand and was able to use them. I premade the butterflies a few days before the cupcakes to ensure they had plenty of time to harden and set. However again I had some trouble with them setting. The weather was still a bit humid and hot plus I only had cake art fondant in stock so I think the inferior product and the weather made my little butterflies a little flimsy.
But I think with all things considered they turned out lovely. I am getting faster at putting them together. The secret is having everything ready for assembly then it’s just a matter of bang bang and you’re done. Hope you like the pics
