Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

I am a little behind on updating this blog, sorry!

These cupcakes were by far one of my favorite, a classic white cake, with a Dark Chocolate Frosting!!  I seriously ate probably 4 or 5, that first day!  The cupcake uses cake flour and whipped egg whites to give it this amazing light and airy texture, then you add chocolate chips!!  It doesn't get much better than that, but oh wait, it does, the frosting!!!

Egg Whites

Folded into the batter!

The frosting is a Dark Chocolate satiny gift from the heavens!!  It combines Dutch-processed cocoa along with 1 1/2 pounds (that's right) of best quality semi sweet chocolate, to make something that is so extraordinary, it makes me cry just thinking about it right now!!  So good, too good, must make more!!

So there you have it, a truly tasty treat!!

Up next, Brownie Valentine cupcakes, and a bunch of orders!!

Until then,

Streusel Cupcakes

  This cupcake did not live up to its expectations, we already have it planned as a re-do :(  The cupcake itself was delish, but the streusel topping lacked the crumble we were looking for, it was a bit dry.  We would add more butter to make it crumblier, and double the batch of sugar/milk glaze for on top!

We will update this post for our do over!!

Up next, Chocolate Chip cupcakes!

Marble Cupcakes

This was the twins pick for their afterschool birthday treat!  Aiden isn't a big frosting fan, so this was perfect for him. 

This cupcake is the classic marriage of chocolate and vanilla!  Simple and Sweet!  The swirling was the hardest part about these little babies.  They were a big hit with the birthday boys!!  We sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top, for an added bonus!

Up next, Streusel cupcakes!

Gingerbread Cupcakes

So this is the cupcake of all cupcakes!!  We made the first batch true to the Martha Stewart recipe and it was delish, and then we made seven more, for a total of 170 cupcakes!!

We changed the recipe a little, and made our own Nutmeg Buttercream frosting, which I must say was so delightful, this cupcake just screamed Christmas!  We made them for teacher and neighbor gifts, and then we got orders, yes orders for five dozen cupcakes!  I can't wait until next year, when we can bust this little baby out again, I think this is going to be a new tradition, and certainly a holiday favorite!!

Up next, Marble cupcakes!

Until then,
