Week 50: Midnight Maddness Cupcakes!

This is how they looked when I got to work!


These Midnight Maddness Cupcakes are another recipe from the new book Cupcakes Galore by Gail Wagman. It's a three part cupcake....batter, filling and frosting. You make the filling...put it aside and then make the batter. This photo shows what the batter and filling look like...

Here's what the cupcakes look like when they come out of the oven! The cupcake is chocolate and the filling is cream cheese, chocolate chips, vanilla, vegetable oil, and sugar.

I made some mini cupcakes and decorated them with pink sanding sugar....

I found these cute cupcake liners on the web...they actually wrap around the real cupcake liner...they don't go in the oven...but here's the kicker about these fun cupcakes: the frosting is BLACK...hence the midnight maddness...Pretty cool looking, too. However, if you make these cupcakes with black frosting, beware...you and your cupcake eaters will get a black tongue from the frosting!

Also, don't forget to submit your comment to my "Win a Dozen Cupcakes from the Cupcake Queen" contest...the deadline is 9:00 p.m. (EST), April 23, 2006.
