Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cupcakes!


I also made these a long time ago in December, but they were SO good!


They're chocolate cupcakes with a butter and pretzel concoction that I baked before I filled the wrappers with batter for a pretzelier feel! The frosting is chocolate butter cream (literally my favorite frosting)! It was so milk chocolaty and delicious; it seriously melted in my mouth! On top, I made another concoction, this time from crushed pretzels and melted chocolate, YUM! Finally, I drizzled caramel on top to give it a sweeter taste!



Candy Cane Cupcakes!

I realize it's March 18, and I haven't posted in a really long time, but here's a cupcake I made around Christmas time. (Such a long time ago, I know!)

I'm sorry, I've been busy with senior stuff, colleges, and work, so I haven't been baking much or posting.

Anyway, these are chocolate cupcakes with peppermint swirl frosting. I thought they'd taste like a peppermint patty, so I decided to go with chocolate rather than white cake. The frosting wasn't that hard to make, I just made regular icing and added peppermint extract flavoring, dyed half of it red, put it in half of the piping bag, and filled to rest with the remaining white frosting. Make sure you squeeze some out of the bag to get it to look like a candy cane before you put it on the cupcakes!
I topped them off with crushed candy canes, which unfortunately they got soggy after a day, so eat them when they're fresh!
