Chocolate Cuppies- 3 ways: Fudge, Cherry, and Peanut Butter
For an order this past Thursday, I created a couple dozen chocolate cupcakes. I wanted to make different varieties and decided on the trio of chocolate fudge, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate cherry. The simplicity of their decorations and flavors was a great success! Even the guests thought they were fake cupcakes on display!
I baked off one dozen of chocolate cupcakes and one dozen of chocolate-cherry cupcakes, both with mini chocolate chips inside. The chocolate-cherry cakes contained about 1/4 cup diced Maraschino cherries per half-batch cake mix.
Chocolate Cherry with Vanilla Bean Buttercream
Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Buttercream
Peanut Butter Buttercream:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup peanut butter, creamy
Chocolate Cake with Fudge Frosting
The flowers were hand-made out of vanilla fondant.
The results:
I am still excited about peanut butter buttercream. It was the creamiest and most delicious treat I have created in awhile. I also loved the sparkle of the sanding sugar on my cherry cuppies. Who knew such simplicity was so cute?! I still can't believe the guests thought they were fake!

These rival any commercial cupcakes I have seen recently. My daughter bought some at Sprinkles bakery in CA (very pricey) and these are so much prettier. Lovely to look at and I'm sure delightful to eat.
I saw these cups at Michaels yesterday but can you really bake cupcakes in them? They were in the candy making/cake decorating aisle and the directions said: grese around the cups
put candy or peanuts in cups
I love how they look. Very classy. You don't see cupcakes in cups like these very often. I love it!
it's beautiful . I discover your blog and it sounds so great !
