    Now you will need to cut out a cone shape on the top of each cupcake, pulling out the tops very gently. Then cut the cone part off leaving a flat top. You need some room so that each top goes with the right bottom.now leave these to start the glaze.

    Take a sandwich bag and fill with the whipped iceing making a small hole in one of the corners. Fill each cupcake with a small amount,about one good tablespoon should do it. Place each top onto each cupcake and gently push it in place. Pour the chocolate sauce over the tops of each cupcake and let them cool completely. a good tip is to stick them into the refrigerator for 10 minutes or so then you can store them in air tight containers or cake domes.

    If you want,take a little of the left over iceing and make a zig-zag on the top,also i take the crumbs from the tops that you cut out and sprinkle on the tops of them. either way,you cant go wrong.
