The moment I tasted these delectable chocolate cream-topped cupcakes my friend created for her recent simchah, I knew it was a recipe I wanted to share for a mishloach manos idea. To liven them up within the spirit of the day, I added these adorable pipettes filled with liqueur. For the second item, I was looking for something with a burst of color, and it had to be thin as I didn’t have much room in the box, so I rewrapped a taffy in cellophane, giving it a gourmet specialty look.
3 cupcakes
3 mini pipettes (I used 1.3 milliliters/.04 ounces), available in baking supplies stores
3 teaspoons Walders Liqueur
1 sour taffy, rewrapped in cellophane
2- and- 1/2- x 3- and- 3/4- x 8-inch ( 6- x 9- and- 1/2- x 20-centimeter) clear box
ribbons
tags
twine
your favorite moist chocolate cake recipe (I used the Hershey’s chocolate cake recipe, printed on the Hershey’s cocoa box)
whipped cream (optional)
1 pound (450 grams) baking chocolate
1/2 cup water
1 and 1/2 tablespoons coffee granules
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups (1 pound) margarine or Crisco (Crisco will help the cream hold its shape better)
4 eggs
To make the cream, melt the first four ingredients in a double boiler. Cream margarine or Crisco with eggs on high speed until fluffy. Add chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Refrigerate.
Prepare your cupcakes and allow to cool. If desired, hollow out the inside of each cupcake with a cupcake corer and fill with whipped cream. Fit a pastry bag (or a large freezer ziplock bag) with a large decorating tip. Fill with chocolate cream and pipe onto cupcake.
Fill pipettes with liqueur and stick one into each cupcake. Place cupcakes together in the box and add the rewrapped taffy.

Cupcake box cream Can make this in advance? How does it freeze with the cream?
I would do the cream last minute.
Boxes Where can I purchase these boxes?
just wondering if this can be made ahead of time and if so how to store it? would it be good in the freezer?
also, can the liquor be replaced with a/th? if so, what would u suggest?
thanks!
