Cupcakes, let’s be serious. Can we ever get enough of cupcakes? Don’t think so!

Best part? You can create whatever you want: chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting, candy cupcake glaze, decorated with confetti sprinkles,.. when it comes to cupcakes, there are no rules and everything’s possible! Right? 

My favorite is without a doubt a delightful syrup waffle cupcake. And as we couldn’t pass this Summer without presenting freshly baked cakes on a chocolate plate, I started to ge creative with my own version of a Daskalidès Jelly Jam syrup waffle cupcake. Perfect to celebrate Summer! Who’s in?

Elfi: ‘To make the filling extra Summerish, I’m using Daskalidès strawberry jelly jam. Just cut out the top of your cake, gently remove some dough with a teaspoon and start filling your cupcake to make it extra sweet!‘

Instead of heavy buttercream, decorate with a touch of whipped cream and add different kinds of toppings on top of it. Sprinkle as much as you like.

Extra Glam- tip (!): really wanna score with these cupcakes? Cut out little syrup waffle hearts with a (cookie) mold. Add on to your whipped cream for a heartbreaking result! Melting already?

Totally my cup of cake!

Extra Glam- tip (!): cupcakes always make me so happy. Wanna get in the mood, just get creative like I did with my nails. Strawberry shortcake inspired nails, what do you think about that? 

Only the best is good enough.. start licking your fingers!

Sweets ‘n greets!
