Now onto the cupcake. Last night I was looking for delicious cupcake recipes and stumbled onto this blog, and I found the most amazing cupcake I have ever seen in my life and I knew that this was the ultimate cupcake. Note: I am pretty much copying the above blog, but in my opinion, these are definitely blog-worthy.
First, I made a rich chocolate cake (cheating with a box) and I successfully made strawberry italian meringue buttercream for the first time. I tried to make this frosting a few months ago and it turned out like soup, so I was happy this one turned out.
This is about when Danielle showed up.
Then I melted baker's chocolate, and after the frosting had set in the refrigerator, we dipped them like cones.
They dried with a matte finish - p.s. all of the prettiest ones were already gone by the time I took this picture.
Cut in half. The frosting is seriously the most amazing part.

I had to blog about these because I'm very surprised/happy/impressed with myself that they turned out, aren't they cute? They are delicious too if you can manage how rich they are...so thank you to A Cup Full of Cake!
