Black & White Cupcake

I've been wanting to try out this recipe, so today I did. They were pretty simple to make and taste really good. The cupcake is chocolate buttermilk and vanilla buttermilk. They are topped with a swirl of basic chocolate and vanilla buttercream frosting. I put the frostings together in the same piping bag with vanilla frosting on one side and chocolate frosting on the other.

Valentine's Cupcakes

These are some samples of ideas I had for Valentine's Day cupcakes. The first is a jumbo chocolate cupcake with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream with heart sprinkles. The next ones are mini chocolate coconut cupcakes with vanilla glaze tinted pink and green. The last ones are standard size chocolate cupcakes with pink white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream and topped with a heart shaped chocolate cookie. (I always use this chocolate cupcake recipe because it's so fast to make and tastes great!)
