Help – I need a pretty dessert!

When your dessert needs a lift, here is is quick trick.

What you need:

• Store bought two-bit brownies

• A can Duncan Hines frosting,

• Pack of YouCake cookie toppers – 1.87 inch rounds.

You can order a pack of toppers at YouCake – they keep sealed for several months. We include a zip lock bag if you want to hang on to any extras for a quick dessert lift later. Kids photos, old photos, and a few ideas featured below are fun to have. I like the Duncan Hines brand when you don’t have time to make your own – (and it also freezes well with the topper).

Frost brownies, apply the edible toppers, let the toppers rest on the dessert un-refrigereated for 45-60 minutes, then it is ready to serve. Watch the video:

Top tip on how we decorated these brownies:
We took a bag of Wilton white chocolate candy melts. A full proof double-boiler method is to put one inch of water in a pan with a bowl placed on top (water must not touch the top of the double boiler). When the water boils, turn off the burner and take the pot off the heat source. Add, a tsp of vegetable oil to one bag of melts as indicated on the package, add the candy melts and just keep stirring until all the melts are dissolved.

Then, we spooned the melted white chocolate over the dessert. With dry hands, removed the backing of the edible frosting sheet and place on the melted chocolate. Pat flat to remove any air bubbles and make the topper flush with the chocolate – the pinky finger seems to have the perfect pressure for this technique.

Let dry and it is ready to serve.

Have a great holiday!

Custom Decorating Brownies At Home Guide

While my friend Deb was visiting, we made brownies and decided to custom decorate the brownies using melted white chocolate – easy and yum! I like using melted white chocolate, the topper sets as soon as the white chocolate dries and is simpler to transport.

To begin, melt the chocolate according to the packaging. We used Nestle white chocolate morsels, which are available at any supermarket. Follow the direction on the packaging. Since our microwave did not allow us to lower the power, we used the double-boiler and followed these instructions exactly for melting white chocolate and it worked perfectly.

Once the white chocolate is melted spread the melted chocolate on the brownie – or any cookie you are want to decorate.
