Give your dad a dessert fit for a king and make him feel special! These Chocolate Cupcake Wrappers are the perfect addition to make your treat an amazing one!

Give your dad a dessert fit for a king and make him feel special! These Chocolate Cupcake Wrappers are the perfect addition to make your treat an amazing one!

A few months ago I made my first edible cupcake wrappers for Easter and have been waiting for the right opportunity to share another design idea. I created these Chocolate Crown Cupcake Wrappers just in time for Father’s Day.

My father loves desserts as much as I do, and is always thrilled when I bake for him. Like most dads, he enjoys feeling like he’s the king of his castle, so I felt these crown cupcakes would be the perfect Father’s Day treat.

Each royal looking dessert is 100% edible – it’s a modeling chocolate crown decorated with gold luster dust wrapped around a frosted cupcake.I kept my crown designs very simple, adding “DAD” to a few, but you can get as elaborate as you’d like by adding candy jewels and cutting more intricate designs. I sprinkled some gold luster dust over my frosted cupcakes, just to add some sparkle.

Chocolate Crown Cupcake Wrappers

You’ll Need:

dark modeling chocolate (recipe, here)

cutting board

cocoa powder

rolling pin

diamond or triangle cutter or a knife

pastry brush or food use only paint brush

gold luster dust

frosted cupcakes

corn syrup or melted chocolate (to use as “glue”)

optional: small alphabet cutters
optional: silver luster dust

Instructions:

Give your dad a dessert fit for a king and make him feel special! These Chocolate Cupcake Wrappers are the perfect addition to make your treat an amazing one!

Dust cutting board lightly with cocoa powder. Roll a long strip of dark modeling chocolate out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into pieces that are wide and tall enough to wrap around your cupcakes. My cupcakes were pretty small and I cut my crowns to be about 1 1/2 inches by 8 3/4 inches.  Measure your cupcakes before you begin. I took a string and wrapped it around the cupcake to determine the length.Use a diamond or triangle cutter or a knife, to cut the points along one edge of the modeling chocolate strip in order to create a crown. Brush gold luster dust on both sides of the modeling chocolate crown. Wrap the modeling chocolate crown around the cupcake, attaching the two ends together using a small amount of corn syrup or melted chocolate.

Optional: Cut “DAD” out of modeling chocolate using mini alphabet cutters. Brush with gold or silver luster dust and arrange them on the frosted cupcake or attach them to the crown using corn syrup or melted chocolate as “glue.”

Store the modeling chocolate crowns at room temperature. The crowns will harden a bit, but you will still be able to bite into them. They will stay fresh for up to several months if kept in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate the crowns as they can become sticky and wet.

    There you go again, all of your wheels turning out a new and great idea. It makes my hamster and wheel brain feel so in awe. This is such a novel idea and there are so many ways to go with it. Thanks again Beth
    Your the best.

      I just got home from running errands, was starving, so I snacked on a cupcake. Oh, my, it is so good with the chocolate crown. I was just going to take a few bites, and ended up eating the whole thing. Oops!

      It tastes so much better than fondant, and can be used like fondant in most applications. Dark modeling chocolate tastes like Tootsie Rolls. Yum!

    These look so festive and perfect for Father's Day. Bet, do you make your own modeling chocolate? I have yet to find a recipe that is a keeper.
