Instructions
- Place the Tomoya template or AVO logo template onto a cutting board and cover it with a sheet of acetate.
- Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl on top of a saucepan with a small layer of water in it, on medium heat. Heat each colour of chocolate separately until it has melted completely.

- Refrigerate in between each of the colours and after the last colour.
- Colour the buttercream with purple food colouring.
- Spread purple buttercream on each cupcake and create a flat top, using a palette knife, and smooth out the sides as well.
- Add the decorative chocolates on top.
Notes
*Using chocolate food colouring you can choose to colour white chocolate yourself, but these can also be replaced with candy melts in the right colours.
