Chocolate orange cupcakes

Today I made some more cupcakes in the thermomix but today I made them choclate orange flavoured.

I made the Thermomix basic chocolate cupcake recipe, but when you add the dry ingredients I added the zest of a large orange to the mix.

When I had baked the cupcakes and they were off to the side cooling, I made some vanilla buttercream and added some colouring and orange juice to flavour it.

I also made some fondant orange segments by cutting out some small, orange coloured, fondant circles and cut them in half. I then used a small knife to make line indentations to look the lines in an orange, I then set them off to dry and harden.

When the cupcakes were fully cooled, I used a small straight palette knife to spread a dollop of the orange buttercream on the cupcake and I topped all the cupcakes with a fondant orange segment.

Thanks for reading!!
