Strawberry Love



Chocolate and strawberries nothing says romance more. These cupcakes and of my own creation. The cupcake is a chocolate cake with a strawberry in the middle.



I'm proud of these mini cakes because of the frosting. It was an experiment gone right! Basically I made a strawberry compote added it to butter and mixed in icing sugar. When it was way to liquid I removed some of it and added some whipped cream. Oh My Goodness. Let me just say it was good.

Want some Smore?


This is my second attempt at Smore cupcakes. They have a chocolate cupcake with a graham cracker base and a chocolate kiss in the middle.


I topped the cupcakes off with a browned marshmallow frosting (it needs a bit more work) and finished off with another chocolate kiss.
