Has anyone else noticed the recent surge in cupcake purveyors? it seems every corner now has a cupcake shop; the fragrance of warm cake and sugar tempts the nose at every turn. Well, after taking Erin on an outing with Monsieur Henry to get cupcakes at one local haunt, I thought, "this can't be that difficult". So here you have it. Peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Not professional looking, but excellent with a glass of cold milk or cup of strong coffee, your choice.
Baking is not Ms. A's strong suit: the precision demanded in measuring is too reminiscent of work. And this proved to be no exception. A near disaster was averted when the melted chocolate for the frosting seized. But it pulled through with delicious results. Now for that coffee....

Yum! The cool thing is it turns out cupcakes are great for breakfast as well. Who knew? I'll have mine with some caffeine-free tea, please.
Please send one dozen. Yum!!
Ashleigh's assertion that baking is not her strong suit is a damn lie.
You had me at peanut butter.
I just had to comment on this because we are major cupcake converts here. Just wait until you start hosting birthday parties with 20+ fidgety preschoolers...cupcakes are the way to go! No ice cream, just cupcakes. That way you don't need a knife, forks... or even plates. And they sell really cute cupcake display holders so the presentation can be even better than a decorated cake. In my humble opinion. :)
And I believe Caroline that you're fibbing about your baking abilities... those cupcakes look delicious!
A friend of mine made these adorable bug cupcakes for a 3rd bday recently. I'm not a fan of martha but sometimes she does know a good thing or two:
