I had a bit of fun with this and realized I can make a whole lot of different ones (chocolate covered cherries and blueberries and raspberries OH MY!). The cupcakes is a strawberry cheesecake with a whipped cream buttercream topped with a chocolate covered strawberry. I am not happy nor fond of the whipped cream buttercream. In Florida it is not a good idea as it melts fast. It wasn't stiff enough for what I was looking for in presentation. So will either go back to a regular meringue buttercream or just a fondant disk on top with the strawberry.
This is my first time piping chocolate like this, well at least in this manner. I think the heart came out nicely! I definitely want to play with piping chocolate some more.
I let my daughter decorate the bottom two. LOL she didn't do badly with the small bag. She calls the one in the lower right the "spaghetti" design.
The cupcake also has a graham cracker / almond crust which I have to say really tastes well together. If it weren't for the fact I lost power, the crust would have held together better so needless to say there are no photos of the crust but I promise it was yummy. Oh I also added a little bit of Disaronno to the pink chocolate....mmmm...I think I will be adding it to the milk chocolate next time too. LOL!
