I needed to make some birthday cupcakes to bring into work this weekend, and decided it was time to try out a new idea that was cute and not too cumbersome to put together. These turned out perfect for what I had in mind!
For the cake, I did my usual GF boxed recipe with the almond syrup substitution, and I have started cooking them at 325 which seems to keep them a little more moist. I cheated and used store bought icing to save some aggravation and time, and then topped with rest. A few modifications for next time.. I was trying to find a chocolate that wouldn't be runny, so I got Magic Shell.. As Hunt pointed out, the magic shell stays hard on the frozen ice cream so while I put these in the freezer to harden the shell- once at room temp, no longer hard. Fortunately, the chocolate didn't get massively runny. I will also get a thing of Ready Whip next time to save steps in piping on cool whip. All in all, super cute and very sweet!
