• How To Make-:

Firstly, you got to make sure that the oven is ready for the process. How do we do it? Preheat the oven at 350o F for around 10-15 minutes and make sure that all the muffin cups are lined up just fine. Line up 12 of them and lay the paper liners for the muffins to be non-sticky.

To make the batter, mix sugar, butter, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl by hand or by mixer until the mixture gets thick and seems like it is all blended together. Now, add eggs and beat the mixture for around 2-3 minutes or until the mixture becomes fluffy. Add milk and vanilla essence and beat the mixture once again. Slowly add all-purpose flour until the mixture becomes thick.

Now carefully fill the muffin cups up to 2/3 of the whole cup. Start the process of baking for 20-25 minutes and you can check whether the cupcakes are ready or not by poking something sharp like a knife or a toothpick. Take out the muffins and let them cool aside for 5-7 minutes on a pan or a wire rack.

Repeat this process until all the muffins are ready and now will start the process of frosting which will make the cup special. You don’t have to do much here, just take a pan and heat the heavy cream. When heated on medium flame, add the 8 ounces of chocolate and mix for 1-2 minutes until the batter smoothens. Pour this batter on the muffins and let it sit there for at least 30 minutes.

Creativity: Be creative and write custom messages for your lady. Focus on keywords like strong, bodacious, or whatever might suit your lady to make her feel special. Take the 3 ounces of white chocolate and heat it in 20 seconds intervals until it melts. Then pour this melted chocolate on a piping bag with around 1.4-1.5 tips for best results.
