i know these little cupcakes are not very creative but they taste good! i actually had a more elaborate decorating plan for these however, my first attempt at easter egg cupcakes was a bummer and i was no longer in the mood for fancy shimancy decorating.
i used a cake box for these cupcakes (pillsbury chocolate i think) except instead of the 3 eggs the recipe called for, i put in one mashed banana and 1 tablespoon of flax and then...meka leka hi meka hiney ho... chocolate banana cupcakes! this was my first time trying out an egg replacement on a cake mix and i was pleasantly surprised at how puffy they baked.
i decorated them using the homemade 'hostess' cupcake technique and topped them off with some m&m chocolate eggs.
i wanted to decorate these with powder sugar and fondant and put them on top of the cupcakes. wouldn't that of been cute? they did not come out looking too hot. the other side of the eggs look even worse! the cake fell and all the eggs looked sunken.

before my chocolate banana cupcake creation i planned to make these little egg cakes with this wilton egg mold.

Why don't you just skip the cake and just use some fondant to make decorations? You could cut out an oval shape out of a rolled-flat piece of fondant and then decorate that. I think that would be cute!
ReplyDeleteOrrr... you could fill the molds with jello, or you could use Bakerella's recipe for her cake pops and fill each egg with the cake truffle mixture? That should leave a more solid surface to decorate.
