Galaxy chocolate cupcakes<\/h3>\n

Galaxy = yum. Chocolate = yum. Cupcakes = yum. Galaxy chocolate cupcakes?! Oh holy moly yum! I just can’t really cope with how good they are. Like, I am so proud of the photos of these cupcakes, because I think it shows how good these cupcakes are.<\/p>\n

I thought these cupcakes deserved a good start, and that paragraph I think sums them up nicely. I am obsessed with them. They’re delicious, so chocolatey and heavenly. How many times can I say that before it gets boring?! Honestly? <\/p>\n

Cupcakes<\/h3>\n

Anyway… the cupcakes. I decided to use my standard brown sugar chocolate cupcake sponge. It’s an easy basic sponge, plus cocoa powder<\/a>. They’re still light and delicious, and I use them in so many recipes – including my Toblerone cupcakes<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If you wanted a richer and more indulgent cupcake mix however – I one hundred percent recommend using my chocolate fudge cupcake<\/a> recipe. They’re gooey, so fudgey, and purely epic. However, I understand that not everyone wants to go through that faff of the recipe, so I went for a basic on for these bad boys!<\/p>\n

Baking cups<\/h3>\n

As usual I used my all time favourite baking cups from Iced Jems<\/a>. The good thing about them is that they’re so easy to use, and she sells so many of them there is always ones to suit your theme! I used the brown polka dot baking cups<\/a> as the brown colour fit the chocolate theme! <\/p>\n

Chocolate <\/h3>\n

Like me, you can put some chopped galaxy throughout the cupcake – but its completely optional. You have enough galaxy in the buttercream and decoration that you definitely don’t need it – but I just love going a little overboard on a flavour theme! As you all well know… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can get the darker galaxy collection now, I used half of that and half of the regular galaxy in the buttercream frosting, but either work perfectly. It’s why the buttercream frosting is slightly darker – but don’t worry.. it tastes perfectly like Galaxy still!<\/p>\n

Piping<\/h3>\n

I used my favourite 2D closed star piping tip<\/a> for the frosting – as I am just obsessed with the swirl it creates. a 1M open star piping tip<\/a> also works really well though. I always use ‘medium’ size piping tips in general, apart from a couple which are large. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I sometimes get comments saying how are my swirls so good, when others come out looking a bit like spaghetti, and that’s because a lot of piping tips that are sold in places such as supermarkets are much much smaller than the ones I use. <\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n

For the decoration I use a couple of chunks of galaxy chocolate, a galaxy counter, and my favourite bronze crunch sprinkles. I was going to do a drizzle of galaxy chocolate… but I might have eaten the spare required for that job. My bad. <\/p>\n

ENJOY THESE BEAUTIES! x<\/p>\n
