Gravity defying illusions can take an ordinary cupcake and really turn it up a notch to make it extraordinary . No matter what, gravity defying illusions will constantly impress your friends and family! They’re just so cool! Today, I’m giving you guys M&M Gravity Defying Cupcakes.
For this recipe, you’re going to want to work with rich, decadent chocolate cupcakes. You can find that recipe here. You’ll also want a chocolate ganache frosting for the cupcakes. You can find that recipe here. You’ll be working with melted chocolate. Make sure you let those chocolate sticks set over M&Ms to achieve that falling candy effect! That’s what makes the illusion what it is!
Instructions:
- Place melted dark chocolate in a tall glass. Then, stick the bread side of your Pocky into the chocolate. Let any excess drip off.
- Let the Pocky set over mini M&Ms. Coat the Pocky stick completely in M&Ms. Correlate the amount of Pocky sticks with the amount of cupcakes you will be making.
- Scoop a large amount of ganache frosting high on your cupcake. Level off the tops and the sides to create a flat top (to learn how to do a flat top frosting method, click here).
- Cut a clean, neat corner from the small M&M packet. Remove the M&Ms.
- Stick a wooden skewer through the center of the cupcake to create a guide hole.
- Place an M&M bag over the top of the Pocky covered with mini M&Ms. Then, stick the rest of the Pocky into guide hole.
- Sprinkle M&Ms on the cupcake around the base of the Pocky stick.
It’s raining M&Ms! My dream come true! 🌧️🍫
