The chocolate sundae cupcake is meant to remind you of ice cream and chocolate sauce - a bit like Pizza Express's Chocolate Glory ice cream pudding. The cupcake works quite well with a real vanilla pod making the cake smell more vanillery than just essence would and the black specks feel a bit decadent. Vanilla things that look like they have grit in them are always good value.
The frosting was a chocolate fudge frosting and I think all foodstuffs should come covered in it. it is amazing, but does involve a lot of whipping and heating and whipping and cooling - in fact the hand mixer started to smell a bit burny. But that's probably my mixer rather than the amount of time you have to attend to it for. Saying that, it is worth it and is very amazing.
However it is difficult to decorate before it sets. I had wanted to put chopped nuts on top, but the frosting set too fast and they just scattered off so I just had to settle for a marshmallow plonked on top.
But I think that's a good look.
