Easter Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes Recipe 445

Steps:

• Unwrap and freeze 12 of the Easter Cadbury Creme Eggs. Unwrap the other 12 and set aside. CUPCAKES: Mix ingredients for cupcakes and fill cupcake papers just under 2/3 full. Bake as per instructions, but at the halfway point, pull the cupcakes out of the oven and place a frozen egg on each one, pushing down gently. The egg doesn't need to be covered at this point, as the cupcake will continue to rise and bake around it. Place cupcakes back in the oven until finished baking. Remove, cool in pan for 5 minutes and then place on a rack to cool. (Make sure they are completely cool before decorating.) MARSHMALLOW FROSTING: Whip butter with mixer until soft. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla. Whip for about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until all sugar is incorporated. Cover and set aside. NANAIMO FROSTING: Whip butter until soft. Meanwhile, mix custard powder with milk. Add to butter. Whip until blended. I find it never completely mixes together (or maybe I'm just impatient) but that's okay. Add confectioners' sugar and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Cover and set aside. DECORATE: Using a piping bag fitted with a #809 tip (or other round tip), pipe marshmallow frosting on cooled cupcakes. Then using the same tip, pipe a smaller circle of Nanaimo frosting in the centre of the cupcake. Place an unwrapped Easter Creme Egg on top. Keep the cupcakes cool until the frostings set by putting them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat honey, butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and orange blossom water with electric mixer on low speed until combined, then on medium speed about 1 minute or until light and fluffy.
• Remove one-third of the dough (slightly less than 1 cup) to another bowl. Mix in yellow food color to look like color of egg yolk. Line cookie sheet with waxed or cooking parchment paper. Shape yellow mixture into 15 (1/2-teaspoon size) balls. Place in freezer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, shape white dough into 15 tablespoon-size balls.
• Remove yellow "yolks" from freezer. Place white ball in palm of your hand; gently flatten it a bit. Make an indent in center. Place yolk in center of white, then shape white around yolk into egg shape. If mixture gets too soft, put it back in freezer.
• Continue this process until eggs are complete. Return to freezer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt chocolate.
• Working with one egg at a time, remove egg from freezer, and insert toothpick. Dip egg into chocolate; carefully let excess chocolate drip off. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
• Place eggs in refrigerator 10 minutes to set. Store in cool dry place up to one week.
