Notes

Tip
Don't forget that the quick chocolate cupcake mixture makes cupcake and not muffin-sized cupcakes, otherwise you won't have enough mixture.
Tip
Our dress is pink but you could leave it white, or tint the icing with red and blue to make a purple dress.
Tip
If you have time, this dress would look pretty decorated with cachous.
