Cupcake with white chocolate ganache and marzipan flowers
When I think spring, I think flowers so it wasn't difficult coming up with this cupcake to enter Spring Funny Cuppy that is hosted by La casserole carrée and Les gourmandises d'Isa.
Also today is my sister-in-law's birthday so Happy Birthday S! She will be getting this little cupcake :)
I used a basic recipe for pound cake (creaming butter and sugar, adding eggs and finally flour) instead of using regular sugar I used palm sugar and instead of using regular flour I used spelt flour. I flavoured the cakes with ground ginger. Will be posting this particular recipe in the coming week. Decoration is - as usual - made of marzipan. The frosting is made of white chocolate ganache. The ratio was supposed to be 1 part whipping cream and 2 parts white chocolate but I sort of missed a chunk of chocolate so I ended up with a ratio of more like 1:1. I had to thoroughly chill the ganache to stick the marzipan in it. Hope I will be able to transport the cupcake to S. without the flowers falling...

Just stopped by to let you know your precious cupcake photo made me smile :-).
Adorable!! I wish I had such skill!
Well that's about the prettiest cupcake I've ever seen!
Oh my goodness that is almost unbearably cute.
That cupcake is so amazingly adorable that I don't even know what to say!Seriously - I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful treat! Thanks for giving me something to strive for re: my upcoming first attempt at using marzipan!
How lovely :)

Simply stunning! That is one of the prettiest cupcakes I have ever seen!
Beautiful! What a gorgeous (and I'm sure delicious!) cupcake! :)
Tarzile - you're right about the Playmobil. I remember the small flowers and they do resemble the marzipan ones.
Lifeinrecipes - your comment made me smile :)
Katie B. - I'm sure you can make this too, it's just like playing with playdoh but better because you can eat it ;)
JD - hope you try working with marzipan, it's easy to work with
This looks so pretty! I'm always amazed by your ability to decorate your baked goods. Mine are always so boring in comparison! :)

I always thought that I knew what palm sugar was. Somehow I thought that Indonesian gula djawa is palm sugar but it turns out that it is actually a mixture of palm sugar and cane sugar. This new found knowledge made me curious about real palm sugar. I
