Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes – Happy Holidays!

| Uncategorized


My brother has an incredible camera lens . . .

I brought these mini cupcakes to family gatherings over the holidays. These chocolate cupcakes are filled with salted caramel, sprinkled with some coarse sea salt, piped with dark chocolate frosting, and additionally topped with a little more sea salt garnish.




Have chocolate and sea salt always been paired together, or is that a recent fad? In any case, I love how the combo tastes and sounds so gourmet.

Marble Chocolate Turkey Cupcakes – Thanksgiving Part 2

| Uncategorized


This was inspired by a holiday coupon book, with pictures of Betty Crocker creations. The cupcakes are marbled vanilla and chocolate (made with cocoa powder for a dark chocolate flavor), with vanilla pudding mix. The frosting is silky smooth dark chocolate. The turkey feathers are piped semi-sweet and white chocolate, with a Hershey’s kiss head.


Making both batches of cupcakes made me late to Thanksgiving dinner, but I was a baker-obsessed.
