Hi,

I'm relativley new to baking... I mean I've baked since I was little but only just getting into it seriously now!

I want to bake a chocolate orange cupcake which I've done before loads of times but I want to make it really indulgent and have a gooey chocolate orange filling and vanilla frosting and also I want the outside of the cupcake to be coated in the chocolate, like a chocolate casing.

Would I paint melted chocolate round some muffin cases and leave to set, then bake the cupcakes in the chocolate casing? Obviously the chocolate will melt again when I bake it with the batter, but would it reharden once the cakes are cool?

Thanks for any advice!

can you just dip the cupcakes in melted chocolate after baking?

... and what happened to the tuile part that was in the subject? did i miss something?

Definitely dip the cupcakes in melted chocolate! I can smell the burnt chocolate already if you painted the cups with melted chocolate!

And I'm also wondering about the tuile part.
