Valentines Day Cupcakes - This time lets say "I Heart Chocolate"

So...I felt better today and felt bad that I hadnt played with my new heart cutters...!

Today I had such good feedback about my pink and sparkly v.day cupcakes, and one of my colleagues said He wanted to know how creative I could be with chocolate.......

I present to you,  chocolate cake:

The usual 4,4,4,2  but this time I reduced the flour and made it up with Bournville Chocolate Powder.


This time I decided to do a Hazelnut chocolate spread (Asda's own version of Nutella) centre.

To put fill the centre I had to cut it out of each of the cakes.

All I used was a knife to spread it in.

 I use a tray to do these kind of things as it can be quite timely if the icing sticks - hence why I use greaseproof paper as I fell out of love with cornflour!

E VOILA:  Hearts.

                                                                 

Next -  Buttercream with more bournville cocoa powder. This time I added the left over cake that had come from the middle too.

I had a mass fall out as I kept choosing the wrong nozzle and the bag kept bursting and so I ran out of mixture and so ended up with 2 cakes without icing as I got fed up!  I'm only human :D

annnnnnd like magics:

TOODLES! :D
