S’mores are a favourite treat for American families, especially when they’re out camping or sitting around a warm fireplace, and I just LOVE the combination of chocolate and marshmallow.

The trick with these particular cupcakes was baking them using Graham crackers to get their distinctive taste, without making them heavy and dry. It took a LOT of mixing and folding to make sure the batter stayed light and full of air!

Here they are as they came out of the oven- and as always I get a little tingle of satisfaction when a scratch recipe turns out with such perfection, especially if its the first time I bake it!

Once they were cooled they were filled with my own version of “marshmallow fluff” as I was battling to find it on the shop shelves, and then topped with a sticky, rich chocolate ganache. Then immediately before serving I piped a marshmallowy icing on top which was then toasted in the oven to evoke the “fireside” taste of S’mores!!

And here they are, nicely posed with chocolate and Graham crackers!

These are quite a mouthful let me tell you! And I have already added them to my price list!

I’ll bet I can make you wish you worked for Agartis Consulting today…

I hope whoever the lucky recipient of these cupcakes is will enjoy them immensely!

The little pale grey sugarpaste high heel shoes embellished with pink roses look like they’re resting on satin pillows!

Okay… I will have a hard time believing you if you tell me that the pink marshmallow icing tower on these chocolate cupcakes doesn’t make you want to lick your screen!!

And poor old me had a WHOLE lot of this icing left over that I just had to eat… with a spoon…

And then Thandi- who is fast becoming a regular customer- also ordered a purple velvet cake, covered and sandwiched with my delectable cream cheese icing! I wish I could show you what this looks like inside… I’m going to have to bake another one just so I can cut it open!
