Make A Giant Cupcake Pinata from Chocolate! - A Cupcake Addiction How To Tutorial

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Awesome! So glad you made this one! And glad she liked it! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - I started by experimenting with a passion for baking. I've got no formal training, but have done cake decorating courses (2-3 day courses mostly) with some of the best decorators in the world and have learnt a LOT over the past 5 years. I reckon I've spend $20K on courses all up, and I make wedding cakes, cupcakes and novelty cakes for a living so I get lots of practice :) I'm also starting a 2 year Pastry Chef degree next month so I will actually be a qualified Pastry Chef!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Great idea! Glad you like it! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Thanks! I’m Australian ☺ Thanks for watching my videos ☺

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Awesome - welcome to the channel! Glad you like it! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You married a top sort! Thanks - Glad you like it! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Agreed! And it's no-bake so nice and easy and not too messy!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Agreed! I haven't actually put it in yet so It's not getting any more fixed in my draw but I miss it - you've inspired me to resurrect it in the new year. Watch this space for the return of the bracelet! lol

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Glad your enjoying the videos so far - LOTS more to come xxx

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

LOL - I have been making cupcakes for YEARS and only just though of it recently :) Sometimes the most brilliant ideas are literally staring you in the face! xx

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Bahaha, thats the beauty of KZbin - you find out weird and wonderful thing you never knew you WANTED to know :) Nice to have you stop by :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I will - I have so many great giant cupcake ideas - it's just finding the time to film them all! I will pop up at least one giant christmas cupcake over the next few weeks for sure :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi Jessica, You can let it sit for a few minutes before using it it, and I would recommend using a spatula to scrape it up the sides. Dont worry if some parts are thicker than others, you can always add a little more chocolate to just those thin parts once the first and seconf layers have set - and they're never completely perfect thickness-wise :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Lol - it's kind of my little 'advertising' tactic. Kind of like, find me a reason NOT to like cupcakes :) Glad to have you on board - welcome to the channel! xx Elise

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Haha, there will always be at least one - not yet but there are always people who can't help but press that button! Glad you're not one of them :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Thanks Melanie - I love cake decorating and am just glad I can share what i love to do with you guys :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Would be awesome for xmas filled with mini santas, red and green m&m's and other christmas candies! Great idea!

[@jessiegoodyear1368]

When I made this I frosted it with white chocolate and used oversized sprinkles. Worked wonderfully!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Lol - That's exactly what I hope to achieve with this channel! Minimal work for maximum impact!- Glad your enjoying the videos so far - LOTS more to come xxx

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Awesome - I hope she loved it and appreciated how awesome you are for making it for her! xx

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Thats an awesome idea - A big easter cupcake / gift box - LOVE IT!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Oohh, I'm doing a giant christmas tree cupcake in the next week or two - I will make it a red velvet one!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I will add it to my list - I love Tim Burton and I think pretty much anything he has done would look great in cupcake form! Look out for them in 2013 :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

My FAVOURITE Candy!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

If you want to top a cake with giant cupcake, make sure you support the weight of the giant cupcake underneath with a cake board, and some wooden stakes through the bottom tier of cake so it doesn't fall through. You could also just make a hollow chocolate cupcake using red and green candy melts and sit that on top - it would be a lot lighter :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

LOL - that's because it's ALL about the cupcakes on this channel :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

For prime condition make them a day or two before - you can make them about a week in advance- just cover them lightly in some foil or some plastic wrap so no bugs get on it, but don't refrigerate it as the m&m's may run and loose their colour. You could fridge it if you wanted, and just add the big red 'cherry' and m&m's on top the day before you want to serve it. :)

[@FaithyHedgefox]

Thank you for posting! I gave my little sister one with yellow and red M&MS and some lindors chocolate inside the cupcake! She loved it! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - I would use red candy melts, rather than trying to dye the chocolate. You can colour white chocolate with colour paste (not liquid) but this is really only suitable for pastel colours :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

OOhhh, that sounds DELICIOUS!!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

True - excellent suggestion!! Thanks for watching :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Yup - I LOVE chocolate!!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

About a week - just cover it lightly in some foil or some plastic wrap so no bugs get on it, but don't refrigerate it as the m&m's may run and loose their colour. You could fridge it if you wanted, and just add the big red 'cherry' and m&m's on top the day before you want to serve it. :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You're right - this was compound chocolate, not couverture (which needs tempering). The non-shiny finish is caused by the silicone mould being peeled away and taking and shine with it :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - Just use straight cooking chocolate or any chocolate you like. Even blocks of chocolate is fine. If the chocolate is very thick when melted, you can add some shortening (like a hard brick of white/clear vegetable fat) to think it out a little bit but most chocolates wont need this :)

[@myleswillis6017]

would be awesome if you did the second coat with white chocolate, so when you break into it, it has a different coloured inside :D

[@MinerKitten]

Good idea! :D

[@francesasuncion9617]

Myles Caney-Willis good idea

[@manjuranisahoo1570]

Myles Caney-Willis dgnjf

[@kaitehey9801]

Myles Caney-Willis hey

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You're so welcome!! Thanks for sharing your excellent idea, and thanks for watching :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - this is just the basic idea but you can change it up any way you like - great to see you thinking of ways to put a personal spin on it :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Glad you like AsAP NNJA! Thanks for watching Elise

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

LOL - It was a lot of fun!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Oh My God - You are a genius! What a great idea - if I make a video I will totally owe this idea to you! Thanks for the inspiration! xx

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I used dark chocolate but you can use any type you like. I wouldn't use couverture chocolate though as it has a lower melting point, whereas compound (regular) chocolate will withstand higher temperatures and hold its shape better :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Oh my god - Now I am drooling! Awesome idea :)

[@Harrizeb]

Hi My 2 boys and I love your channel, we have just made this in white chocolate for my Husbands 40th birthday filled with his favourite choc's. We also made the pinata cupcakes. My only comment with the giant pinata is watch the consistency of the chocolate - the first layer I started the choc was far too liquid still. None the less it worked out fine and was very impressive when finished. What a great 'hit' :-) thank you.

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You can if you like, but the fridge can cause the m&m's to sweat and loose some of their colour - I'm on the Gold Coast and just keep mine in a col dry place - they are pretty good up to about 35 degrees but I guess I would put it in the fridge if it was a REALLY hot day :)

[@nikkischaap]

if you use green candy melt on the top and brown on the bottom you have a candy Christmas tree and then the M&M's as Christmas balls is very cool

[@toddrichter6001]

Great idea

[@nikkischaap]

And use some oreo crumbs as some decoration

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You're so welcome!! And thanks for watching - I will be sure to get the giant red velvet christmas tree up in plenty of time for christmas!!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

LOL - At least I am sharing my talents with all of you so you can all be the same amount of talented :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Thanks Partriciaann Vallandingham.

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Just as chocolate you buy in the store is not melted, just keep the Pinata in an airconditioned room if required and it will be fine. :-) Elise

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi Cerise! Great ideas - welcome to the channel! I used regular chocolate (either melts or blocks are fine) but no chocolate chips. They are designed to hold their shape while baking and often don't melt as well :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I would use a big spoon and just give it a few good whacks - or a rolling pin! That wold break it no problems! xx

[@Claresholms]

I absolutely love this idea and will use it as a birthday presentation or gift giving.

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I use melted chocolate - so it's warm as it's just been melted. Its not a paste, its actual hard chocolate which has been melted to make it soft :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

MMM, me to! Delicious!

[@DanielaBodoh]

5:21 2 bowls made 100 percent completely out of... CHOCOLATE???!!! Omg sooooooo yummy! Who doesn't love chocolate!?

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You could! Great idea - thanks for sharing :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Haha - Imagine going to emergency with 'chocolate pinata sustained injuries' - too funny :)

[@karenhill183]

I am watching 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺 in 2016 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣6️⃣ . This is also my #1 time watching this video !!!! Can you believe it ????

[@bupi1626]

Wow! Love it, hello! I just wanna ask- coz I'm living in hot place- without AC in the kitchen- is there anything you can recommend that I could possibly mixed, in order to retain the chocolate figure?

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Yes, white chocolate will work fine but make sure you use a new or REALLY clean cupcake case as any dirt/grease or marks will show up on white :)

[@16livelaughlove16]

Haha I love my mom and all but you would be the best mother to have during birthday parties!

[@UsaChanCupcakes]

I love how you were able to do it in only one take! (except for a couple small times :)

[@TaraAlison]

i can't thank you enough for showing me how to do this!! i have made this twice for different occasions to bring to school and everyone has loved it! it was fun to make and fun to eat and most importantly, fun to smash!

[@aaishamahmood9232]

Wow I even made this for a dinner house guest party and everyone loved it thank u so much ur such an inspiration I used loads of different chocolates but mine was loads bigger bcuz there were loads of people

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi! I don't - I use a compound chocolate which doesn't need tempering. If you use a high quality couverture chocolate, you will need to temper. That being said - tempering isn't hard, it just take a bit of time and I can never be bothered - the couverture choclate is a nicer quality but definitely softer, and melts in lower temperatures than compound. I use Nestle chocolate melts most of the time, or a good brand of compound cooking chocolate :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Yup I’m Australian ☺ Thanks for watching my videos ☺

[@nicolemcnab9922]

Wow. I've been wanting to make one of these for ages. Thanks for another great tutorial. Can't wait for the giant red velvet

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

You can use any chocolate! But if you use white chocolate make sure you use a new or REALLY clean cupcake case as any dirt/grease or marks will show up on white :)

[@kianabullock4007]

This is possible the most amazing thing I have ever seen!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Glad you like it! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@Aishya476]

hello I'm from the Caribbean where it's very warm and chocolate melts very easily, you mentioned not to store it in the refrigerator but do you think I should considering the climate?

[@jessicamccann1721]

Never would have thought of doing that with the cupcake mould :) great idea.

[@mllecreations99]

I don't understand the personns who don't like your vidéo ... Continue !!! :)

[@imnana6589]

There is a sweets shop near my house that started making these just after you made this tutorial :)

[@paulathemonster]

I'm going to make this for my friends birthday this weekend! SUCH A GREAT IDEA! and perfect for picky friends who aren't big fans of cake! :) Thank you!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Great idea Shiela - This is just the basic idea - feel free to change it to suit your preferences :) Thanks for watching :)

[@jdcDominationz]

I don't know why but I love her voice to listen at!! :p

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I'm sure it was lovely! I hope the opening was a 'smashing success" lol

[@kirstenmouse]

this is amazing, i have just made two, your videos are so easy to follow and the results make me look like I know what I am doing! I am impressing friends left right and center thanks Mycupcakeaddiction keep them coming!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Great Idea 1hellopatti!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - yes, you could use white or milk. If you use white, make sure the cupcake case is spotlessly clean as every little mark will show up :)

[@layla7301]

I JUST HAD A HYPNOTISM! OO!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Hi - Most of the content I upload is original (so I think of it) but sometimes I come across something and I have to share it with you guys. If it's not my idea, I'll credit the original source :) And yes, I am a KZbin partner :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Of course! and delicious :)

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

I like the sound of that Navina Ravenscar! ;-)

[@vivianmourad3438]

I LOVE lT!!!!!! brilliant. Even though i'm in 5th grade, I already know i'm gonna be a baker when I grow up.

[@supergirl101rocks]

I had an idea. You could use white chocolate and add food dye to change the colors. That way you could have a pink patty pan and a blue swirl on top! I love the tutorials keep making them!

[@lymorale]

Love it! I never would have thought of it. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

OK - it doesn't hang from the ceiling but is hollow, full of candy and you smash it to get the candy out. It's a cupcake version of a piñata but maybe not EXACTLY correct :)

[@samlouise1]

You Aussies know what you're doing when it comes to sweets and treats i'll give you's that! Probably why I married one haha!!

[@abbylayla2000]

how cool is that every kids dream come true :)

[@mariavaleur7556]

Do you know if I Can get mouldes like this just in small? Btw great idea :)

[@NerdyMusicals]

i'm making it today :) i will be making it for mother's day and i will put my presents in there! good idea!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Thanks Vj Red, Thanks for writing in. Elise

[@kristydinning6870]

Wonderful idea! I did encounter some probs tho - I used callebaut couveture callets, which is made for easy melting & moulding & is good quality & used by chefs, etc. It is usually very runny when melted so I didn't add copha. It was so runny it kept thinning out at the sides & pooling at the base. It also kept melting after refridgeration & hasn't seemed to set properly. What am I doing wrong? Will copha help it set? Or should I use a completely different type of chocolate?

[@SpookyCheese]

Michael's has tons of baking things like that, lots of odds and ends. But they're really nice and all in one section :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

I've got that cake mould, gotta make this! Great video

[@xXRobloxBellaXx]

Girl your a genius!

[@MyCupcakeaddiction]

Nice idea TheGreekMan1981!
