Mission: Cupcake ~ Week 9


Back to the sprinkles & chocolate with this week’s experiment; butter cake cupcakes, slathered with a sticky fudge frosting. These babies were definitely on the rich side, and were served best with a tall glass of milk…they kind of sucked all of the moisture out of your mouth. And speaking of moisture, I felt that the cupcake itself was unexpectedly (helllllooo, butter cake!) a little too dry. Maybe they needed more butter. The chocolate frosting was sweetened with a can of condensed milk, which gave it the “stick to the roof of your mouth” gooey texture. It was definitely delicious, although it never thickened up like the recipe said it would. So the frosting dripped all over place while I was topping the cupcakes, which left quite the mess on my counters (I had to scrape the sticky stuff off with a spatula!).


All in all, I’d say they were a good cupcake, but definitely not on the top of my list. The shiny frosting looked pretty though…and I finally got to break out the rainbow sprinkles!! J
