I have been fascinated with pinata cupcakes since early this summer when I saw a few of them floating through the Pinter-verse. How exactly does one bake candies into a cupcake without them melting? Well, with a bit of baker magic, you can create a protective bubble encasing for them, and provide an anticipated treat for the cupcake recipient. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 150 Grams of dark chocolate
- 6 cavities hemisphere silicone molds.
- 6 cupcakes (any flavor)
- Candy for the pinata (MM's , Smarties, Nerds, etc.)
- toppings or decorations (optional)
Directions:
1. Melt chocolate in microwave or using a double boiler.
2. Place two teaspoons melted chocolate on each mold cavity, and swirl chocolate to coat every half hemisphere cavity. Keep rotating the mold until the chocolate sets (depending on room temperature. This may take a while)
3. Let the chocolate set.
4. Unmold the chocolate dome carefully, fill with candies and place carefully over every cupcake. Do it quickly as to not leave fingerprints.
