I made these mini cupcakes the other day, when some of my family was dropping by for a cup of coffee. Chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and sugar sprinkles on top. They tasted really great. I will share the recipe for the delicious chocolate buttercream with you.

Chocolate buttercream:

100 grams soft butter
100 grams chocolate
100 grams icing sugar
4 pasteurize egg yolks (use only pasteurized egg yolks)

Carefully melt the chocolate and stir in the soft butter.
Add the pasteurized egg yolks and sift in the icing sugar and whisk by hand until smooth and no lumps appear.

Perfect for cake filling, crumb coating and cupcake swirls. If you have any questions regarding the recipe please write.

Happy Caking!

    Goodness! Those treats look divine. I was wondering if you could redirect me to the “homemade sprinkles” page. I clicked on it, on the Cake Bites page and there isn’t a recipe listed. I would love to know how to make them. Also, what’s with these Aussies and eggs? Lol! Unless, somehow, they can make eggs 100% safe to eat raw, we’ll continue not to. ;-) I hope to hear from you soon.
