Directions
I’ve been wanting to make these cupcakes for a while now but knew I had to wait till our anniversary to try them. These are very easy and VERY tasty but since they were a mini re-creation of our wedding cake they deserved a special occasion.
For the cupcake I used my go to chocolate cake recipe. Then I used my buttercream recipe (Note, I added 7 tsp. of Kahula in place of vanilla extract) and finally I used a Bismark tip on my pastry bag and inserted either raspberry preserves (store bought, tisk tisk) or chocolate ganache (equal parts semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream). It’s always fun when you can make different creations from your key recipes. Because I was in such a rush the day of our anniversary I didn’t get any pictures…
