Blink and Christmas is here again. One of these days we won't even need to take down the decorations! (What a thankless task anyway 🙈 )
So, in the interest of saving time, sometimes you have to cut a few corners:
While it would be really special to make teeny tiny mini Xmas puddings for this project, there was just no way that was going to happen this week.
They're perfect for the task.
These are mousse filled, dark-chocolate candies. (Oh, yes!)
Pop them onto a paint palette for stability. (One that you use for your edible art, not the kids' poster-paint-spattered one!)
Use a little royal icing to decorate -
Layer on your white icing. Once that's set, pipe on the green, and pop on a red sugar pearl. So easy. And you can tell from the pictures, I didn't even use icing bags and piping tips; just sturdy bags with the corners snipped off.
Very organic-looking 😉
They're delicious little mouthfuls on their own, but I used them as toppers - nestled on a bed of ganache on top of dark chocolate cupcakes.
'Cos it's the season of giving! 😋
