Life with food allergies and more

Chocolate cupcake toppers

Hi Guys! 
Just wanted to share with you these pretty chocolate cupcakes and cake toppers! They are completely allergy friendly!!

Have you ever felt disappointed (“meh”) when you see cute cupcake toppers in stores because they contain top 8 allergens? 

We have.  However, after I made some hot chocolate bombs a few days ago, it got me thinking that maybe I can create a safe version of one of those cute chocolate cake toppers with chocolate and sprinkles! 

They turned out great!

You can make them in any shape you wish.  Beside these Valentine’s day themed chocolate toppers, I made some Saturn shaped chocolate toppers as well since our younger son loves planets, especially Saturn.  They are also great as birthday cake toppers since you can shape them into anything you wish!

Have Fun!!!

DIRECTIONS: 
1. microwave “safe” chocolate for 15-30 sec bursts.
2. pure the melted chocolate into a piping bag
3. cut the tip, and make your favorite shapes on a piece of parchment pater. 
4. Add some cute sprinkles or candy on top (Optional)
5. Pop them in the fridge until they harden.
Make sure you don’t let the chocolate contact with any water during the process.  Refrigerate them to store.  I usually store them in a tupperware.

Chocolate alternative:
Also, sold at Trader Joe's grocery store. Contains Soy Lecithin.
IMPORTANT: This is DARK CHOCOLATE of Pond Plus Chocolate. The package says "may contain milk, wheat, egg, almond, walnut, cashew, coconut, hazelnut, macadamia, pistachio, pecan.
Ingredients:
Chocolate Liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin.

Disclaimer: Our son can eat soy lecithin because the soybean protein is broken down well enough for our son to not have any allergic reactions.  Also, he can eat the chocolate bar sold at Trader Joes (ONLY THE DARK CHOCOLATE FLAVOR of the brand). Even though it says “may contain milk, wheat, egg, almond, walnut, cashew, coconut, hazelnut, macadamia, pistachio, pecan.” 
As always, I’m just sharing our experiences and information as a food allergy family.  Even though our son won’t have allergic reactions from these products that doesn’t mean you or your LOs won’t have allergic reactions. Always, please consult your allergist or physician.
