Hello everyone out there!
I woke up late today and I am still tired, must be this horrible San Diego weather LOL. Since it is Friday and the rain has everyone in a gloomy mood, I decided to make some mini cupcakes for my neighbors and the gals at work. The turned out super cute and I got more out of batch than I thought I would. I ended up with 68 mini cupcakes. Madness!! Some are going in the freezer, so I can give them to my friends this weekend.
They were so much fun to make. I made a batch of chocolate cake batter and used a tablespoon to scoop the batter into the cupcake liners. I sued some cute heart liners and some silver ones. The silver ones turned out more to my liking. I whipped up some vanilla frosting while the cupcakes were baking, and I died it whit neon pink coloring gel. I found out that the gel works much better than the liquid color. It holds true to it's color unlike the liquid that dilutes when mixed. When the cupcakes where done I let them cool for about 10 mins and put the frosting into a piping bag. I used a star tip ( any star tip will do, large or small), made little swirls in the middle of each cupcake, then topped off with different Valentine's sprinkles and even some chocolate hearts I had made the previous day.
I just got back from work and the cupcakes were a hit. Some of the gals thought I brought red velvet cupcakes like last time and they were a little disappointed to hear that they were just chocolate, but after tasting them, it was a different story.
Thank goodness it's Friday!
