1

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

2

Create the Galaxy Effect

Divide the cupcake batter evenly into separate bowls. Use food coloring gels in shades of blue, purple, and black to color each portion of batter. Add a little shimmer by mixing in edible glitter or pearl powder. Spoon small dollops of each colored batter into cupcake liners, gently swirling them together to create a galaxy effect.

3

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cupcake pans in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Once baked, cool the cupcakes completely on a wire rack before moving on to the fondue stage.

4

Prepare the Chocolate Fondue

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup of dark chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. Continue until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat it, or you may end up with a chocolatey disaster. Set aside to cool slightly.

5

Dunk and Decorate

Gently dip the cooled cupcakes into the chocolate fondue, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped cupcakes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with edible silver stars, colorful sprinkles, or any other celestial decorations that spark joy in your heart. Let the chocolate set before serving.
