Inauguration Cupcakes!

We can finally breath a sigh of relief, last week was one of the craziest weeks in DC not to mention over here at Fluffy Thoughts. We had over 400 cupcakes to make, each one topped with a handmade piece of chocolate made to resemble our 44th president.



The process is time consuming but the end result is worth it. We start by outlining the president's face with dark chocolate, then fill it with white chocolate that has been tinted red and blue. Most of the cupcakes we made were red velvet with cream cheese frosting, many had a filling of milk chocolate ganache. Some other popular flavors were chocolate cupcakes with Raspberry buttercream, and white cake filled with pineapple curd and topped with coconut buttercream.
