Tips & Tricks (5)
- Marshmallow Magic 🔥Toast the mini dehydrated marshmallows lightly with a kitchen torch before garnishing to enhance their flavor and create a campfire-like caramelization.
- Moisture Master 💧Add sour cream to the batter to ensure ultra-moist cupcakes that stay soft and tender for 2-3 days after baking.
- Cocoa Powder Pro 🍫Sift your cocoa powder and dry ingredients together to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, even chocolate flavor throughout the cupcakes.
- Frosting Temperature Trick 🌡️Let butter and cream come to room temperature before making the frosting to achieve a silky-smooth, perfectly whippable consistency.
- Piping Perfection 💨Use a large star tip when piping the hot chocolate frosting to create beautiful, bakery-style swirls that maximize marshmallow coverage.
