Chocolate Cupcakes.
Cupcakes are hard not to love. They’re just so cute. To be honest, I only made cupcakes because I wanted to frost them with little soft peaks, and then have them sitting around on the counter for a couple days, just to look at. I don’t really enjoy eating cake—batter, on the other hand, is never safe, I need to bake the batter immediately, lest it all mysteriously disappears before reaching the oven—but I just wanted to have cupcakes.
I am not a fan of cupcake bakeries. Cupcakes are easy to make, too easy, it seems, to justify an entire bakery. A cupcake truck however, is also just too cute. Driving around, dispensing little perfectly frosted circles of cake, often time with absurd yet delicious combinations. For me however, when I do eat a cupcake, I want it to be absolutely delicious looking. It should be a crime to not eat the cupcake. A perfect cupcake fore me is not pristine, with perfectly mounded frosting and painted discs, not covered in sprinkles, and not at the sweet price of six dollars. I want a cupcake that looks like it should, small, a little bit of cake, and mounded with messy, rich, sweet frosting. When the lid comes off the cake cover, I want the cupcakes to smell up the room. And when I eat a cupcake, I want to get frosting on my nose.

No recipe for that fudgy little cupcake? I have to admit, I love cupcake bakeries. It’s because there are so many crazy and unique flavors and because it limits me to a small quantity.
I am a new food blogger and love visitors if you have the time to stop by.
Second page is the recipe! And I do love new and unique flavors combinations..
Your cupcakes look so Yummy
These look scrumptious! Which recipe did you use for the cake, Martha Stewart or Ina?
Martha for cake, Ina for frosting. One of the few Martha recipes I haven’t been mislead on
Delicious! Your perfectly iced cupcakes are making me very hungry right now! Can’t wait to try them myself.
i like getting frosting on my nose too
