Cupcakes!

Wendi and I made these yummy cupcakes this weekend. I got the recipe for both the cake and frosting from Katie L. (thanks, Katie!). And let me just tell you, they were delicious! The cake was a "light" chocolate, and by that I do not mean light in calories, but light in color. The taste and texture were both a lot like my mom's Texas sheet cake. But the frosting for these was seriously so good. I usually wipe off all frosting, even if it is only a thin layer. But this time I ate it all (and there was a lot!). I think all of you need to get the recipe from Katie L. I would share it, but since it is one of her family recipes I am not sure if she wants it posted. I am going to try a double layer cake with the recipe. Hmmm.... Who has the next birthday?

We (Wendi & I) have sort of been on this cupcake-kick lately. We're all about finding the best recipes, frostings, and perfecting the decorating. Unfortunately I didn't have much to decorate these yummy cupcakes, but M&M's & jimmies work, I guess. I'll probably be posting more of our creations. If anyone has any spectacular recipes let me know. Tonight I am trying a mango cupcake with pineapple frosting. I'll let you know how it turns out!




Ignore the bad lighting. My digital camera is too automated to take great photos of food. And, I promise the cake plate isn't dirty... it just looks that way in the picture. Ha ha.

Aren't cupcakes so much fun! I was on a cupcake kick a couple months back. I'm still in search of a filling similar to the Hostess cupcakes one. I've yet to find "the one".
Seeing your cute cupcakes makes me want to pull out all of my stuff and do it again. It's so fun! But I cheat and use the canned frosting it's the best IMO!
