Chocolate Cup Cakes With Candy Liners

Chocolate Cup Cakes With Candy Liners on Cake Central

I saw these in the new wilton cup cake book & wanted to give them a try. Made these for the teacher's appreciation week. Liners are made from candy melts. Royal icing Daisies. Discovered the trick is to bake your cup cakes first. Then melt the candy in the cup cake liners, spread it up the sides then place the cooled cup cake into the candy liner & put it back into the baking pan to firm up. After it's cooled, peel off the paper and decorate. Looks much more impressive IRL. My husband was even impressed.

I saw your second batch before this picture. That is so much work to make the chocolate liners! How impressive!

Thanks. They are really VERY easy to do once you know how. My husband is no longer easily impressed by most of what I create, but these he really was amazed with :)
