Well, Brittany's birthday came along - 21 woooot, then it was spring break and this and that, then finals and now here we are in mid MAY. But I have a post and it's a tasty one.
Say hello to mini, dark chocolate fudge, raspberry jelly filled cupcakes WITH cream cheese frosting. SO Delicious. I had about 20...
We baked these for another event at The Gates with Mike Clemente Events. It was the opening weekend of Alice In Wonderland and they were quite a hit!
Basically.. you bake a normal cupcake, your flavor of choice. We went with chocolate because - hello it's delicious.
Then after they are cooled (this is crucial) you infuse the jelly. This sounds a lot harder than it is. You just go to your local Target, Kmart, etc and but a cake decorating kit. It should come with a 'filling tool' which is just a long nozzle (?) that you attach to an icing bag with the jelly, we think seedless is best. We used Polaner seedless raspberry but of course you could make your own!
OK, I promise it's not as hard as I'm making it sound... the pictures will help!
We always seem to find interesting ways to use cooking utensils.
But look at that delicious batter.
We had quite the revelation during this process - we SUCK at decorating.
Britt is so serious while doing the jelly infusion.
Fluffy, delicious cream cheese frosting.
Yup, we used allll the jelly.
Frosting away.
My masterpieces!
I mean.. if you don't think that looks good... YUM
