“Never Fear… When Cup Cakes Are Near!”
Exams are over and this calls for a party… Kids party are incomplete without Cup cakes. My son Abeer, known to be a huge chocolate fan wanted me to make cup cakes for his friends on the last day of exams. That gave me an idea to organize a Kid’s Pajama Party!
As the cup cakes were being made for the bachcha party, i wanted the frosting to be simple yet colorful and delicious. Chocolate, Raspberry and simple Vanilla were my choice. Had already tried ganache a couple of times before, so this time i opted for butter cream frosting.
The chocolate cup cake’s recipe is adapted from my won previous recipe of Dark Chocolate Cake. The creamy and buttery texture of the frosting makes it sinful and i am sure the kids gonna love it.
