Happy Christmas to the C&D Team!! Thanks for all you do !!!

[@user-wi2rk8de9h]

This recipe is delicious. A few tips...you can half the butter cream ingredients, you will have more than enough. I was left with half the batch, which is great if you wanted to make another batch of cupcakes. You can also reduce the filling ingredients or make sure to cut quite large holes (bigger than the ones they cut). I used a stand mixer to beat the filling, so much quicker and it comes out soft peaks. Try not to burn the chocolate, this makes chunks which will get stuck in your piping bag and leave you unable to pipe further. I melted mine in the microwave on the melting setting, but did not stop to stir it enough, thus some of it burned. I removed most of it but the consistency was no longer completely smooth. A plastic or ziplock bag with a cut tip works best if you have chunks, as it can expand and allow the chunk to go through. A nozzel will just get blocked repeatedly. Happy baking!

It was 42 degrees in Perth, WA today. Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you for all the recipes you have shared with us. I showed off a lot at work this year baking your recipes.

[@MysticRose24]

Sally, I always drape a tea towel over the front of the mixer to cover the pouring gap) when I add icing sugar. It prevents the cloud of sugar getting everywhere

[@sonalibishnoi6583]

Just a tip for icing sugar…..use a damp tea towel over the mixer bowl. It works brilliantly, plus you can use it after to wipe up any mess off the counter top!

[@patriciapratley6773]

Happy Christmas. Love watching your videos. A tip for stopping the icing sugar from going everywhere when you start to mix it in is to place a damp tea towel over the top of the mixer. It traps in the icing sugar and stops it going all over the place. Probably not such a problem in a commercial kitchen but saves me having to clear down nearby work surfaces after I’ve baked 😀😀 happy new year to you all cake 🧁

I thought you did a great job eating it! The only way I. Oils figure was to take the marshmallow off. But you figured it out. And did it with aplomb!

I probably add more milk chocolate in my butter cream as the chocolate needs to look slightly darker. Thanks once again for your lovely cupcake recipe. Happy Xmas and New Year. xx

[@houda3051]

You can take out a spoonful of the icing sugar and replace it with cocoa powder to make the icing darker and slightly richer in flavor :)

@@sigurd_the_cook I have a big family and they had two separate Christmas celebrations. I didn't stay at the second one but I brought them two of the cakes. My family couldn't make up their mind what flavors they wanted so I ended up making 2 strawberry cakes and 2 carrot cakes. 😊

[@orlybabe]

I love your recipes but these are just chocolate cupcakes right. My niece once said she wanted hot chocolate cupcakes for her birthday, and most recipes I saw were chocolate cupcakes topped with marshmallows, which didn’t cut it for me. Finally found one that actually used hot chocolate, one batch I made with Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate and another with Starbucks hot chocolate, snd the cupcakes actually tasted like hot chocolate! Made mini size for the kids, filled them with chocolate mousse, frosted with whipped cream, dusted with hot chocolate powder and topped with marshmallows, The cupcakes were a hit at her bday party!

[@jackybraun2705]

I don't have a blow torch - could I put the marshmallows under the grill and them lift them on to the cupcakes? (That would be ideal for topping cups of hot chocolate too.)

How long do these keep in the fridge? Should I do the marshmallow the day of?

[@nazlinjanmohamed8057]

Merry Christmas. I love your recipes. Here in Canada we use Ibs and ounces. I can't accurately convert gms to ounces. Can you freezer the cupcakes with the icing on it?

[@sigurd_the_cook]

Personally, I'd not recommend you freezing any types of buttercream as there might be problems with defrosting.

Minus 20 C here today - hope that make you feel warmer...

Oh Sally , there were chocolate chips in the ball , make sure to scrape the bowl well

I've noticed that home bakers always scrape the bowl scrupulously while those who cook in stores etc. almost never care. Not that I judge them or sth :)))

[@Cakesncreams]

Too lovely and too awesome Thank you for sharing this recipe Plz suggest me why my coloured buttercream release some little drop of water after keeping refrigerator

You might have overwhipped it, so butter started releasing some water 🤔 the butter might be of poor quality, also.

[@Charliefarley170287]

I have to check ready made cake ingredients for coffee and leave it out when baking despite what the recipe says cos it makes me ill. It’s not as simple as not liking the taste, it actually makes me violently I’ll for days. So many people tell me it’s only a little bit so it barely counts but they’re not in pain because of it. (P.s. Don’t hate me for being negative. I’m being realistic.)

What if you only have large eggs?

[@houda3051]

You can still use 2 :)
