I made icecream cupcakes!
I did have some troubles with the cooking of these, for example, how do you get the cones to stand up in the oven? I cut into a tin dish, but learned that the deeper you go the less your cones can tip. unfortunately I did not learn that right away. Like an icecream cone, on a hot summer day, where the icecream falls off, so were some of my cones. My first remedy was icing. But we were low on icing sugar, so I had to use it in moderation.
But some of my cones had no"icecream" left on top at all, so I had to be more creative.
The icecream cones were not my main focus though. I really wanted to bake heart cupcakes.
I got this idea from a picture I saw on google. The process involved first baking the white cake, then cutting it into heart shapes, and then putting chocolate cake batter all around it (and on top if it too). I did not do the best job of this. many of my cupcakes had white pieces sticking out, but hey, that is what icing is for... right? After I iced them i realised how these cupcakes are sort of impractical. the problem is that after icing them they only make hearts if you cut them in the right way, and after you ice them, how do you know what way that is? Well, I think they exist mostly for taking a picture of them and putting them on one's blog so that one can look impressive. I hope you are impressed.
