Masquerade Party: Cupcakes with White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

We love an excuse for a party. So when Universal Pictures contacted me and asked if we would like to host a Masquerade-themed party and recipe based on their new Fifty Shades Darker movie, I loved the idea of coming up with a masquerade idea celebrate.

I thought it would be cool to make a recipe that included a mask  similar to the one featured in the trailer and the new movie poster:

After thinking about it for awhile, I thought something decadent would be perfect. Double chocolate cupcakes with whipped white chocolate frosting. A chocolate cupcake with dark chocolate ganache filling, topped with whipped white chocolate frosting and then a chocolate mask on top.

I found mask baking molds. Let me tell you – they were so easy to make.

I used dark chocolate and melted it in the microwave and then poured the chocolate into the mask molds. Then I popped them in the fridge for about 10 minutes. And then they popped right out. Perfect.

Plus decadent cupcakes for dessert. What a great night!

Universal also sent awesome gift bags with movie items like this comfy shirt.

Whipped White Chocolate Frosting is a delicious way to top cakes. It requires only two ingredients. So easy to make!
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup white chocolate (use a high quality chocolate – I used ghiradelli) chopped
Instructions
  1. The trick to making this recipe work is three things: 1. high-quality chocolate 2. let the warmed chocolate mixture cool at least 4 hours or overnight before the last step. 3. Don’t overwhip the ganache frosting or it will get grainy.
  2. Recipe:
  3. Put 1/2 cup whipped cream and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Heat on 50% heat in microwave for 1 minute intervals until the chocolate melts.
  5. Mix the chocolate and whipped cream together. Then let sit until room temperature and then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup whipped cream over the cooled chocolate mixture and whip on high speed with your mixer until stiff peaks form (1-2 minutes). Stop as soon as stiff peaks form. If you continue whipping the frosting will become grainy. This is VERY important.
  7. Put the frosting in a pastry bag and top the cupcakes.
  8. If you want to add chocolate masks to the cupcakes, order a mask mold, fill with chocolate and cool for 10 minutes in the fridge.
