Recipe Snobs: Ghoulishly Glowing Cupcakes. Hey Everyone!! I’m just gonna start out by saying, I am so stinking excited about this recipe! A couple of weeks ago I had a follower e-mail me about a frosting recipe that would glow in the dark. Or I should say almost glow in the dark. Specifically she needed a cupcake recipe that could glow under a black light, but the trouble was that I couldn’t find one on the internet to try, so I decided to try my hand at making one.

After a couple of tries I am glad to report that I have figured it out!! Yay! And the secret ingredient that causes it to glow is… Tonic Water! Then it dawned on me that if you make gelatin with tonic water the jello will glow. After a few dips and trips back into the freezer to set, the frosting glowed!! 1 black light24 prepared and cooled cupcakes White Glow In The Dark Frosting 7 cups confectioners’ sugar1 cup vegetable shortening1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract5 tablespoons tonic water {diet tonic water works too}mini chocolate chips morsels A Food Snots Original.

2 CAVITY THREE TIER CAKE PAN from Get Organized. Chocolate Bowls: My 2 Cents. So, you've seen those cute, fancy chocolate bowls made with the balloons? I tried it. They turned out okay. A couple suggestions: *Don't use water balloons. They stuck to the chocolate after popping them. (Yes, I used cooking spray before dipping the balloons in chocolate) Use thicker balloons, but still small enough for a cute bowl. *Make sure you wash the balloons and let them air dry- as most instructions suggest. *Make sure your chocolate isn't the slightest bit warm or else the balloon will pop. * I would melt a bag of chocolate chips with a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. *I would also decorate the bowl after it is dry for extra cuteness. If you don't have a ton of time, these are also quick and easy and fun. Flowers from Pinnapple. Eddible gliter.
