2. Combine butter, CSR sugar and chocolate in a saucepan and heat gently until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Whisk the eggs into chocolate mixture one at a time, followed by vanilla, until smooth. Fold in White Wings flour and cocoa. Spoon batter between prepared paper cases. Bake for 25 mins until just cooked. Cool in pan for 5 mins before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
4. For buttercream, place butter in a bowl and using electric beaters, mix until smooth. Add icing mix and water, mixing well. Transfer to a piping bag.
5. Pipe or spread the icing onto the cupcake to create the puppy’s fur.
