I thought it was time for some cute cupcakes, so I made mini merry reindeer for you.
chocolate coated chocolate cupcakes all dressed up for the holidays.
Oh deer! So cute.
First, we're going to need a bunch of small miniature cakes.
Very well. Fact.
Chocolate Cupcakes
2 cups all purpose
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon yeast chemical
3/4 teaspoon baking soda coffee
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup oil vegetable
1 teaspoon vanilla coffee
1/3 cup of hot water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and mini cake mold line with 48 mini baking cups.
- Sift dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add eggs and mix until smooth.
- Add buttermilk, oil and vanilla and mix well.
- Slowly add hot water and mix well.
- Fill liners small cake batter on 2/3.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool and decorate.
Next, we need a bunch of small wood.
I used my chocolate fudge wafers, a toothpick and a model to make.
Download and print the wooden model of cervid I made and place it under the wax paper. Then just draw with a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate.
Make the lines thick so they will be more robust. Let them dry and then gently separate the wood wax paper and put safety aside until ready to decorate.
To decorate, let's dive cupcakes in melted slices of candy.
But first, take the chocolate woods near their base and press them into mini cupcake to create a hole gently. Remove the timber and dip the cupcake. Then after soaking, immediately insert the wood into the holes that you have made and the coating will dry and keep them in place.
look at that in steps.
- Put wooden position and remove.
- mini cupcake tops Dip in melted chocolate coating. Note: I added my white marshmallow candy wafers to a lighter brown color, so that the wood would stand
- immediately put the wood back to
- Before the coating sets place two sugar .. eyes in the position and a black jelly bean for nose and let dry.
My DIY sugar eyes are fun to use for faces because you can have your eyes looking in different directions.
I think that gives them character.
See. This is giving me the side eye.
To finish, use a certain soaked toothpick into some of the surplus melted chocolate and shoot a sweet little smile.
Or use the molten coating to set confetti sprinkle pink cheeks and pull the lashes for girls.
super cute!
And of course, the group would not be complete without a red-nosed reindeer in the mix. I used a peanut red sugar coating to the nose, but a red M & M would be cute too.
hope you like these little guys as much as I do.
