Cupcakes with sugar lace

by Karen 1 Comment

Tasty cupcakes with vanilla flavor and a raspberry filling. I have decorated them with sugar lace, sugar pearls and fondant flowers.

During the weekend, we went on a picnic with family and friends. Besides the mandatory barbecue, I thought that there should be something for the sweet tooth afterwards. However, it also had to be simple to bring and these cupcakes were really easy to make and take with us.

I have used a basic vanilla cupcake recipe which I found on Sallys Baking Addiction. Raspberries are the perfect filling as they make the cupcakes extra moist. See the recipe at the bottom of the post.

Decoration

You can decorate your cupcakes with buttercream but I have chosen to cover them with chocolate ganache and place a lid of fondant on top.

Now that they are covered in chocolate ganache I place a lid of fondant on top:

Sugar lace

The sugar laces are made from a premade mix (cake lace) which you simply buy and whisk together – it’s that easy!  You apply it to a dry silicone mat with a rubber spatula. Remove any excess. Afterwards, it needs to set for 6-8 hours or you can put it in the oven on 70 C  / 158 F for approx. 10-12 minutes. I thought that the sugar laces looked complicated before I started but it’s actually really simple to make.

When the laces are completely set, you carefully pull them from the silicone mat. Afterwards you cut them the same size as your cupcake lid and attach them to the lid with a bit of water. The taste is a tad sweet but pretty neutral and it’s a bit like eating cotton candy as it dissolves very quickly when you put it in your mouth.

The fondant flowers are made with cutters for hydrangeas and other small fondant flowers.  Afterwards, I’ve dusted the flowers with a bit of edible color dust and attached the sugar pearls with edible glue. See this tutorial if you want to know how to make a fondant flower

And then I was ready for the picnic. The cupcakes were eaten while we enjoyed this wonderful view.
