Anyways, on Saturday I was flipping through the Cupcake book I received for Christmas from a family friend (I have decided to work through all of them this year IF I can) and trying to decide which ones to make and I came across these and just had to do them.
I was a little iffy on the cupcake batter that I ended up making. I did everything from scratch, I followed the instructions from the book to a T, but it was a very thick batter and very hard to get into the cupcake wrappers. They did taste very tasty and rich, but it was very different to what I am used to using.
I also made the icing from scratch (as I ALWAYS do), but I followed the recipe in the book this time instead of just doing my own. It was such a thick icing when I was finished that I couldn't even spread it on to the cupcakes! So back it went to the mixer with a ton more milk to the mixture. Even then it was still very thick, but easier to spread and also just as tasty as the cupcakes.
I had everything else I needed done and ready by the time the cupcakes were cool enough to ice so I was able to get started right away which was nice for a change!
So here's how they turned out. Also if you can think of a better name than what I've got up there PLEASE tell me! My mind isn't that witty when I'm sick, and all of my "creations" are going into a Cake Portfolio that I'm making so when people ask what I can do, I can show them.
Also if you are friends or family reading this and you have any cakes you want to order, please let me know! I'd love to get my portfolio growing!
