Instructions
 

For the Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or line a standard muffin tin.
  • Add cake mix to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix in your water, oil, eggs and chocolate pudding on medium until well incorporated.
  • Add batter into the muffin tin until each is about 2/3 full. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before adding the chocolate hot fudge sauce filling.

For the Frosting

  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, and beat until light and fluffy. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 15 second bursts until smooth. Add a bit of water if needed. Mix in melted white chocolate and the vanilla extract.
  • Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, while adding a bit of the half and half or milk in between each cup. Continue to mix for 1 minute or until creamy. Add in your blue food coloring, 1-2 drops at a time. Mix until desired color is achieved.
  • Using the bottom of a spoon or other utensil, poke a hole in the middle of each cupcake, about ¾ down. Add the chocolate hot fudge sauce to the cupcake injector. Carefully inject the filling into the middle of each cupcake.
  • Prepare piping bag and fill bag with frosting. Frost your cupcakes, add your blue sanding sugar, and top each cupcake with a sugar rose. Enjoy!
