Now 13 Disco Cupcakes

 

The challenge last weekend was to make Disco Party cupcakes for Nicole who was turning 13.  Given free reign I chose music notes and pink guitars for the cupcakes and added a Now 13 cupcake topper on some of the cupcakes (thanks to my son Teigh I always have help for anything I need to do on the computer – how is it that our kids really do know more than us when it comes to electronics?).  I sourced a beautiful stand (a wedding cupcake stand) from In Good Company in Rivonia and then stacked the 40 cupcakes on it finishing it off with a Now 13 CD cover on the top.  It looked really cool on the party table and it was fun to see the kids going home with a cupcake each.

BACK TO WINTER MILO CUPCAKES

Mixing in Melted Milo Bar

I tried the milo cupcakes again and tried to think what the Cake Boss might do to improve on them.  I used finely crushed Milo Cereal (everyone must have this cereal in their home as the kids love it), added this to my vanilla mixture.  Have to admit I did not weigh how much I added.  The milo chocolate bar I melted and added into the mixture and it turned into a light golden brown colour – yummy!

The result of the baked but as yet un-iced cupcake was delicious with a hint of a crunchy texture in the cupcake.  Milo flavour is not easy to replicate but will let you know the result once they are iced  – if they last that long.

Just yummy!
