Cupcake Kissing Photos and Ideas for Party
The cup kiss is a hit with adults and children and every real party has to have it. Some recipes are more incremental than others, but the taste of coconut prevails.
For Kids Party
Children’s party sweets are more colorful and can be personalized with the party theme. The tip is to count a glass and a half per guest to arrive in the ideal amount.
So no guest is without and if someone wants more you do not go through the embarrassment of not having anything to serve.
The colorful confectionery is beautiful, but not always tasty. The tip is to look for quality and not price, as some more affordable brands leave the bitter candy and the stained dye.
The spoons can be decorated in several different ways. At craft supply stores you can find the bows and you can paste them with hot glue.
For those who want something more incremental, it is possible to decorate with biscuit according to the theme of the party. It is more expensive, but also much more beautiful.
Another option is to decorate with paper. You can choose the designs on the internet with the theme of the party, assemble on a sheet and print on high quality photo paper.
Then just cut and stick to the handle of the spoon using hot glue or instant glue. It looks very nice on the cake table and the kids love it.
With Caipirinha
Do you want a more Brazilian drink than the caipirinha? Of course, this candy is not for children, but it makes the heads of adults.
The recipe is the same as we taught at the end of this post, the difference is that after cooked you should add drips to taste and lemon zest. Cook for five minutes and you’re done!
Part of the drink evaporates, so the candy is not so alcoholic. For having condensed milk in the recipe, no one will get drunk from trying a sweetie.
To decorate you can use lemon zest or a green sprinkle. Use a good quality drink and if you want, add green dye to the recipe.
With Pineapple
The cup kiss with pineapple is delicious and combines with parties held on summer days, as it brings a freshness to the sweet. The tip is to use fruit in syrup if you are going to make the candy in advance.
If serving on the same day, use the natural fruit. The contrast of the acid with the candy is incredible in the mouth and opens the palate. It is a good way to surprise guests.
“To make the candy even more tasty, put a mint leaf. Only put the mint in after the cup kiss is already cold so as not to wilt and bitter ”
With Strawberry
Short kiss with strawberry is a classic, if you mix with brigadeiro then, it is a success for sure! As in the case of pineapple, you can use the fruit in syrup or fresh.
Avoid using strawberry in syrup sold ready, prefer to make at home. Tin strawberries are usually very sweet and can make the kiss puzzling due to excess sugar.
By making it at home you can control the sugar, in addition, the industrialized syrup has a lot of red dye to which a large part of the population is allergic.
pink
The pink cup kiss can be done in two ways: beaten with strawberry or using food coloring. Either way it is beautiful and tasty.
Be careful with the amount of coloring to avoid bittering the candy.
Gourmet
The gourmet cup kiss is made with high quality products and fresh ingredients, such as the coconut case.
In this category we have sweets for those who want to provide different flavors to guests, where quality is more important than price.
Beijinho combines with chestnuts and nuts in general. The candy is more sophisticated and less cloying than the traditional one, you can incorporate it in the recipe or put it just as a decoration.
Another variation is to sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Put little in order not to bitter in the mouth, it really is to break the sugar in the condensed milk.
With passion fruit
Passion fruit brings a sweet citrus flavor, making it less nauseating and even tastier. This type of sweet must be made and consumed on the same day, as it is indicated to use passion fruit in natura.
For children’s parties choose ripe fruits, for adults you choose not-so-ripe fruits to get a little more acid and contrasting.
The tip is to put the passion fruit on top, after the cup kiss is already cold.
How to Make Cup Kiss: Recipe & Step by Step
Making a cup kiss is not difficult, in fact it is as easy as the traditional kiss, what changes is the consistency and some ingredients.
Some people make the mistake of leaving the kiss cooking less time to make it liquid, and the texture has nothing to do with the cooking time.
Want to learn the trick? We will teach you how to make a cup kiss and give some tips to invest in different flavors that will impress the guests.
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of good quality condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted margarine
- 200g of grated coconut (without added sugar and not dehydrated)
- 50g of grated coconut or confection of your choice for garnish
- 1 can of cream of good quality without whey
- Powdered cloves to taste (optional)
Preparation mode:
- In a pan, mix the grated coconut, margarine, condensed milk and powdered cloves.
- Cook over low heat until it comes off the bottom of the pan. The point is the same as the traditional kiss, nothing to remove before.
- It will be a very consistent candy.
- Turn off the heat and add the cream, stirring constantly. The goal is to form a smoother cream.
- Wait for it to cool and place in the cups. This recipe yields 20 to 25 cups, and it is recommended to put a little more than half of each cup.
- Use the coconut and sprinkles to decorate.
- Place the acrylic spoon and it is ready to serve.
- If it is to be served the next day, for example, it is necessary to leave it in the refrigerator.
In addition to the traditional version, you can combine the cup kiss with syrup fruits, such as peach, pineapple, strawberry and plum.
The tip is to drain the syrup, chop the fruits in a square and place in the bottom of the cup, before placing the candy. If serving on the same day you can use fresh fruit.
The fresh fruit is more acidic and cuts the taste of sugar a little, it is only necessary to be careful because it spoils quickly and never put the hot candy on top of the fruit.
