I saw some cupcakes a few years ago with a chocolate knife in them, and I thought it would be great to make them with a bit more to it. So here is my version of what I saw. This is my first time making it so I know now what areas to spend more time improving. I hope you enjoy this treat!
I saw some cupcakes a few years ago with a chocolate knife in them, and I thought it would be great to make them with a bit more to it. So here is my version of what I saw. This is my first time making it so I know now what areas to spend more time improving. I hope you enjoy this treat!
Make whatever cupcakes you want. Here is the recipie I used. It makes 6 cupcakes. 50 mL of margarine or butter 100 mL white sugar 1 egg 2 mL vanilla 150 mL flour 50 mL vanilla pudding mix 1 mL salt 5 mL baking powder 90 mL milk Preheat your oven to 350 F. Cream the margarine and sugar together. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Bake them for 25 minutes.
When the cupcakes have cooled, carefully cut out a little from the top, and spoon in a liitle of the bloody fruit sauce. The sauce I used, I made a simple syrup and added in some strawberries and a few blueberries after pureeing them. I also added a little corn starch to thicken it a little. The color wasn't quite red enough for me, so I added 2 drops of a red food coloring.
Gently place the piece you cut out back.
For the icing, this is the recipie I used. 1/4 cup margarine or butter 1/4 cup shortening 1 1/2 cups icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 tbsp water Mix the margarine, shortening, and icing sugar together. When it's well mixed add in the vanilla and water. To decorate I used a ribbon icing tip and streaked it across to make a look of bandages.
Make you chocolate knives, and put them in the freezer for a few minutes so they wont be soft. I used white chocolate for the blades and added a drop of black food coloring to give a grey color. The food coloring I used didn't mix well, so you may want to try a sample of it to mix.
Now the cupcakes are almost done. With a little of the bloody sauce of a spoon drop a little where you plan on sticking in your knife. Pull the chocolate knives from the freezer and place them into your cupcakes and enjoy!
