How to Make Your Own Chocolate Disney Art to Top Cupcakes! #Disneyside @HomeCelebration

Cupcakes are delicious, and no matter what you put on top they’re going to taste great. You can spend a ton of money on getting things to decorate your cupcakes, or you can grab a couple things in your cupboard and make your own in no time at all!

The first time I made chocolate art for cupcakes was when we did cupcake month for our recipe challenge. I didn’t have a piping bag yet, or know how to use it well, so I used a plastic baggie. It worked – but I didn’t have as much control as I do with a piping bag. So this time, I made sure I used a good tip and bag and got to making art!

What you need:

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 double boiler (you can use a glass bowl over a pan as well)
• A piping bag with a small round tip or plastic zip top bag
• Wax Paper

Place your chocolate chips in your double boiler, and put it over medium heat. Stir constantly until your chocolate melts and is smooth.

Be careful not to burn your chocolate. If your chocolate starts to look chunky and frothy – it’s gone too far!

Remove from he heat and let cool just slightly.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper, and fill your piping bag with your melted chocolate and get ready to be an artist!

If you’re using a plastic bag fill with chocolate and clip the very corner off the bag. Use a steady hand and create your designs!

Go around the outside of your designs a couple times for stability, and zigzag back and forth in between for added support.

Put your cookie sheet in fridge or a cool area until your chocolate is set. Keep refrigerated until your ready to decorate your cupcakes!

The best part about making your own cupcake toppers? You can make whatever you want! We’re having our party tomorrow so most of mine were Disney themed of course, but I made sure to make a big 3 and 4 for my sister’s birthday cupcake!
