Saturday Recipe!

My post on Saturdays is always the yummiest recipe i can find, it doesn't mean i have always made them, but it definitely means i will make them....... and i hope you will too!

Hi Hat Cupcakes

I have been fascinated with this recipe since I saw it, It reminds me of mister whippy on a hot summers day. I remembered seeing it on Martha Stewart.com I cant take credit for the photos here though I would love to, she did an        amazing job.

Chopped chocolate. The perfect way to start. I really liked this cupcake recipe. It’s great for any kind of cupcakes.

But even better with this frosting. I used a disposable piping bag with a large opening.

If I had paid attention to the directions beforehand I don’t know if I would have been as eager to get started.

What a mission, this is when you wish you never started........eek!

After about 12 minutes… I was over holding the hand mixer.

So I hoped for the best and piped it on the cupcakes… as tall as I could get it.

The cupcakes went in the freezer while the dipping chocolate was prepared.

One bag of milk chocolate. I use the choc chips.

And melted them in the microwave with three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Yum.

Melt them on medium-low in 30 second intervals and stir in between until melted and smooth.

Then wait a few minutes to make sure the chocolate isn’t hot.

Now, take a deep breath and grab one of the cupcakes from the freezer.

Turn it upside down and slowly submerge the entire top in melted chocolate.

Okay, here goes…

More…

 and lift it out.

Holy cupcakes… it worked.

It totally completely worked.

And it’s beautiful.

Use a toothpick to touch up any spots at the base of the cupcake that may not have been covered… controlling your excitement…

And then go again.

And again…

And again.

Place the dipped cupcakes in the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and then refrigerate until ready to eat.

I’m still amazed.

Don’t be afraid to make some.

footnote: Mine didn't look quite as good as these, but they were easier than i thought they would be they look amazing don't they?
