    This is the recipe I have poppy, but I usually end up adding a ton of icing sugar to make it really thick, its yummy though...

    56g chocolate
    115g butter
    90ml milk
    440g icing sugar
    pinch salt

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine chocolate, butter and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and beat in icing sugar and salt. Beat until smooth, adjusting consistency with milk or sugar, if necessary.

    Hi
    To keep things simple, why don't you just make it look like the part where they have to chhose which path to take? The right path could have the candle at the end? You could just make some of the stars to decorate the cake, they will be really easy to do.

    You're very kind! I thought they were rubbish :D My OH calls them my 'obese Dora' cupcakes :P

    Have a go anyway. I love baking, even if it looks bad it usually tastes great!
