This week, Heather is flexing her creativity to create a Cream Egg Cupcake. It's a take on the popular Easter treat, the Cadbury Creme Egg, in cupcake form. They turned out pretty well, after some brainstorming on the approach in the first half of the episode! Plus, Erin and Heather chat about ways to zhuzh-up boxed cake mixes (because sometimes that's handy, right?).

At Three Kitchens, we're all about trying something new. Usually we prefer to have a recipe to follow, but what can you do? Sometimes there isn't one. In this case, there was an Instagram video with no recipe, but some vague details provided by helpfulish commenters. Probably not a baking project for an amateur, but what the heck. Let's go.

The chocolate cake Heather bakes up for these cupcakes is an easy recipe called One Bowl Chocolate Cake. The ingredients are mixed up together in one bowl (obvs), and then you add a cup of hot water, which makes a thin cake batter. She amped up the chocolate flavour by adding instant coffee to the water. The tops of the cooled cupcakes are then hollowed out to leave room for the cream egg filling.

In this case, the filling is a type of marshmallow fondant made by melting marshmallows and mixing in icing sugar until it's a pipe-able consistency. A small amount is coloured to look something like egg yolk, and then it's a game of filling cakes to look a little like a chocolate cream egg.

Give this one a try! It actually turned out super cute and it's a fun cupcake for Easter.
