Popcake
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This delicious treat is very popular in America. Making a cupcake is easier than it seems at first glance. For the icing, we will need dark or milk chocolate, and for the petals – sugar paste. You can use either homemade or store-bought paste. And that's it. The ready dessert can be served.
