chocolate & espresso cupcakes topped with caramel buttercream & a caramel drizzle.
i had the awesome opportunity to make cupcakes for a surprise birthday party for the husband of a big magazine food stylist in birmingham. i was super nervous. all sorts of foodie people were going to be there. & totally judge my cupcakes.
so i made some fancy cupcakes!
this brand new recipe i had never tried... why do i do this to myself??... turned out pretty well. the cupcakes were quite tasty. what chocolate + espresso combination isn't? the buttercream, on the other hand, did not want to cooperate. after a little bit of convincing, it finally came through. but it was the caramel drizzle that really did it. everything is better with a caramel drizzle!
the party-goers were super kind & passed compliments to me! our chef even ate two :) i'll count it as a success.
love love,
kjp.
Yum. You always shine in these situations, as much as they stress you out. Proud of you!
