Cupcake Hangover

Cupcake hangover.  I ate 3 un-iced cupcakes yesterday.  3.  Have a bit of a tummy-ache.  Then I went and iced them today.  Ugh: now I have an icing-headache from licking spoons, bowls, beaters...  Oh, but aren't they lovely?  Not sure why I needed to make like 36 for no particular occasion.  But it was fun!

Tried 2 different chocolate recipes:

Dark chocolate

Were a bit heavier and cakier (is that a word?)

Devil's chocolate.  Lighter, fluffier, better for cupcakes I think

On to icing.

Tried Chocolate- Peanut Butter

Made a mistake though:

Put icing in icing bag.

Left in fridge overnight to ice them today.

Oops.  Should have re-whipped the icing today- so the icing wasn't cracky.

But the best was the Chocolate-Chip-Mint:

In both cupcake recipes I used buttercream frostings.

Now what to do.

Eat the rest? 

Who wants a cupcake?

Next on the list to conquer:

Espresso buttercream frosting on mocha cupcakes.  Breakfast of champions!

Some other combinations I'm dreaming up:

Lemon Raspberry Buttercream

Chocolate Black Cherry Cream Cheese

Pumpkin Maple Buttercream

oh boy.  Surest way to gain weight.  Should I stop here?
