Gloverly Cupcakes

I’m always looking for quick simple ideas for decorating cupcakes, time is limited with a 14 month old to look after! I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought they looked pretty easy. Click 

I melted a small amount of white chocolate and left it to cool a little bit before putting it in a piping bag with a no. 2 nozzle. I thought I would try drawing the pattern and putting it under the non stick baking sheet to follow. But when I tried the chocolate ran out much quicker than I was expecting. So I ended up just doing it free hand which took quite a lot of practise to get the shape right. It was definitely harder than I expected and much harder to work with than royal icing.

But I eventually mastered it and ate a lot of white chocolate in the process! Once they had started to set slightly I added a few mini sugar pearls to finish them off. I left them to go completely hard before attempting to remove them from the baking sheet. I’m glad a made loads extra as they were very fragile and a lot of them ended up breaking. Luckily I had just enough for the cupcakes I had made.
