Mini-cupcakes, absolutely one of my favorite things. I've been working on fairly decadent cupcakes recently and I find that it might be best for all involved if I make them smaller. Plus, they are just so much cuter!
Because I had been going a little crazy with the cupcake baking - and I don't like to waste anything - I had some extra
Raspberry Triple Cream Frosting, enough ingredients to make
Lemon Drop Frosting, and an extreme need to figure out how to make Orange Chocolate Frosting after making a batch of the
Orange Chocolate Scones.
Once again I used cream cheese as my base for this frosting. I wasn't sure at first but it provided a nice tang and compliment to the orange flavor. Simply a combination of powdered sugar, dutch cocoa (I prefer Ghirardelli), butter, cream cheese, milk & orange juice.
Chocolate sprinkles add a nice touch and texture to these cupcakes!
I changed the Lemon Drop frosting a bit and added lemon zest to enhance the lemon flavor! These cupcakes were a last minute treat for a girls night in...basically, a baking friend is a good friend.
