Naughty Cupcakes!

Cinnamon is getting married!!!  Hadiya, Theresa, and Shirley planned an amazing night of dance lessons, dinner, and drinking.  I offered to make dessert and because we were in a restaurant, I wanted to make something that was somewhat "tasteful!"  I found the decorations from Ricky's, which carries everything from hair products to nail polish to the back room selection!

Yellow Butermilk Cupcake - Martha Stewart

Dark Chocolate Frosting - Martha Stewart

This frosting recipe is to die for!  It tastes almost like a ganache.  Make sure you pipe or spread it on the cupcakes right after making the frosting because it can get stiff quickly.  Also, try not to refridgerate the cupcakes, or at least let them come back to room temperature, because the frosting will harden.

I cut the cupcake recipe in half and made 12 regular size cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes.  I only made 2/3 of the frosting recipe.  I have found that if I bake more than I need, I eat more than should.  Luckily, I'm handy with fractions, so I am to cut recipes as I need them!  For all my cupcakes needs I go to Martha Stewart.  If you like to make cupcakes, this book is a must have!
