Once again....another chocolate cupcake!

So.....I'm a serious chocoholic, and it seems as though I've made a dozen different chocolate cupcake recipes, with no luck finding one that I was truely happy with.....that is, until today!!!! I just made a quick little decoration on top with candy melts, almost burning my parents house down in the process. Long story short..... I pushed 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds on the microwave and walked out of the kitchen....enough said. Oops!

Salty Caramel Cupcakes


Just recently, I had randomly read about salted caramel cupcakes, so I decided to try my hand at it. I decided to make some with a brown sugar cupcake and some with a chocolate cupcake. Who doesn't like options....right? These have a caramel filling and a yummy caramel frosting. These seriously took me hours to make (lots of different steps), and I'm not much of a caramel fan but these were pretty tasty!

Grad Party Cupcakes


This past weekend I got the chance to make cupcakes for a high school graduation party. I made an oreo cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, and a yellow butter cupcake. He is going to play golf at the University of Findlay, so I made some of the cupcakes with fondant golf balls. The other two kinds I decorated with his high school colors....one of the cupcakes I don't have a picture of because they turned out kinda bright but I will post it at a later date.  I hope they enjoyed the cupcakes as much as I enjoyed making them!

Sticky Pecan Cupcake

These, by far, are the most delicious cupcakes I have ever made. A mixture of honey, brown sugar, and butter, as well as pecans goes at the bottom and then the cupcake batter on top. After baking you flip them over and get this sweet treat. They're even better warm right out of the oven!!!!

Mini Flower Cupcake

Here's a mini cupcake I made back in January, just for fun! Simple but pretty.

Mini cupcakes

I made these cute mini cupcakes using a Babycakes maker that I got from my sister and her family. It's pink and super cute. My nephews were coming over and it's a great way to make a small amount of little cupcakes quickly. I just used a box chocolate cake mix and whipped up some vanilla buttercream frosting.
