Hey everyone!!
It was my second time making cupcakes for an engagement yesterday. (SO NERVOUS!!!!) Upon request, I made Orange Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache. At first, I suggested that it might not be very "wedding-y" since it was really dark in color and you usually see white frostings at weddings. The other option was glace icing but that would totally ruin the chocolate cake since it was sugary like Milo with sugar instead of milk (that was my analogy! haha!). So, I asked the client if she would prefer pretty weddingy cupcakes that clash in taste or cupcakes that tastes good but more Halloween that Wedding.
I am glad she chose the latter! Because these cakes are not sweet at all on its own. You can taste the chocolate and orange but there was just no zing to it. BUT with the chocolate ganache, it all comes together and party in your mouth! WOohooo! Well, in my opinion, anything with Chocolate Ganache is awesome. Hehehe...
Orange Chocolate Cupcakes $15 for a dozen
(made with fresh oranges!)
