Instruction manual
1
Combine all the ingredients needed to make chocolate chip muffins in a large bowl. Beat the dough with a mixer for 2 minutes. Then this mass should be laid out in tins and bake for 18-20 minutes in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees. When the chocolate muffins in the tins are ready, remove them from the oven, remove them on the laid out sheets of paper and leave to cool.
2
Make a terracotta dye by mixing red, brown, and yellow food colors. Add it to half the sugar fudge and mix thoroughly. Then roll the resulting terracotta fudge into a layer with a thickness of about 5-7 mm, cut out circles with a large glass and bend their edges. You should have sugar pots in which you can place chocolate muffins.
3
Prepare the chocolate icing by mixing with a mixer all the necessary ingredients and gradually adding the powdered sugar. Apply it in a thin layer inside each fondant pot, and then place a chocolate muffin in each of them.
4
Take the chocolate chip cookies and chop them in a blender. Cover each cupcake with the resulting “ground” as shown. Cut a strip of terracotta fudge and stick it around each chocolate muffin.
5
Divide the second half of the fudge into equal parts and add a different food coloring to each of them. Then roll each part into a 5 mm thick layer. Using a knife, cut the petals and flowers of the desired shape. You can sprinkle the carved figures with powdered sugar - this will give them a visual volume.
6
Use the remnants of chocolate to decorate your work of art. As a result, you get a magnificent flower cake in a flower pot. It is possible as an option to make a broken pot. You can experiment, how pleasing to your imagination, with various flowers, leaves and flowers - give free rein to your creative desires.
