Thats right-- These cupcakes are on FIRE-- Literally

I had a gal order a dozen chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes

 for her in-laws wedding anniversary this last weekend

I really wanted to try something different and wanted it to be

kind of avant-garde ish with somewhat of a wow factor

So I emailed her and asked her if she would be willing to let me try it

 and I would throw in another dozen of the regular

She agreed to it Thank god! :)

It was hard to get a good picture of them

I rushed taking it because I wasnt sure how long they would keep burning

 

I made the cupcake with my normal recipe:

Chocolate cupcake

Dipped in ganache

Topped with strawberry buttercream

But when it came to the strawberries I usually cut them in half then dip them and let them harden

 

I dipped the full strawberry in chocolate let it harden

after it hardened I cut the top off and hulled out the center

When it was time to serve I told her to fill the center with a high proof liquor

Then light on fire

I had experimented at home and it did work! I was sooo excited! And it worked for her as well! Picture proof above! Lovedd it!

 

I had a few left over-- So I took them down to my favorite bartender/ #1 fan

He filled one up with Yukon Jack and we lit it on fire

 

Ironically it was a bar patrons birthday so Bartender Mike gave him the one we lit on fire

He decided to eat it while on fire, it was pretty comical :)

 

Thanks for looking :)
