I’ve long had an infatuation with cupcakes: p e t i t e versions (and far more adorable and less in calories) of their cake counterparts. I must admit I do watch Martha Stewart religiously, following her cult-favorite “Cookie of the Day” & weekly cupcakes special. Mm.
Alas I perfected my recipe for the (in my humble opinion, of course) the most moist, double chocolate cupcakes. (With chocolate frosting of course). My secret? Adding a good amount of instant espresso into the batter. It’s no revelation of any sort, but I am allowed to bask in the euphoria of a domestic goddess after producing such delicious goodness.
So I’m a bit proud at the moment. (:
. . .
P.S.: Do ignore the Easter paper liners, I was out of normal, non-seasonal ones (currently on the hunt for brown liners!)
P.P.S.: I failed to mention earlier how much I adore Meream & her craftiness; check out my personalized scrap-link via her blog; it is so me! Thank you thank you thank you, love!
bisous, xx

They look sooo yummy!
Ooh! Recipe please! They look DELICIOUS!!! I have never made cupcakes before…these are too cute to eat! 😉
xx
Yummy! You did such a good job, they look gorgeous. I hope they tasted delightful!
Yummm, I LOVE cupcakes. Doll, you absolutely must, must, must at some point (if you haven’t gone already), go to Magnolia Bakery…they are the most amazing cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life! =)
These look fabulousss though (and I’ve been craving chocolate like mad lately, so this is just not helping).
You’re so lovely!
@Brigadeiro: I most definitely will post the recipe later on (:
@Clare: Thank you! They were quite delicious, if I may say so myself (;
@Allison: O h m y g o o d n e s s . I am obsessed with Magnolia! (: We must go together one day! (:
They look scrumptious! Have you seen http://www.howtoeatacupcake.net? It’s my latest inspiration. I recently made their coconut cupcakes and they were magnifique, if I do say so myself. 🙂
@Hannah: Shall we add that to the list of things we have in common? I positively a d o r e that site; I visit it obsessively (: xx
You have multiple talents, my dear.
Let’s add baking to the mile long list, shall we? 🙂
and they look SO beautiful & SO good, yummy (I’m sure) & aesthetically pleasing! RECIPE PLEASE !!
@thebaglady: Aww, you’re the sweetest! (: Thank you! I will most definitely include the recipe in a later post (:
Those look so delicious. Now I’m hungry.
Yummy! I always preferred cupcakes to regular cakes. Not only because, as you mentioned, of the calories but also due to them being so much incredibly cuter.

i want the ! i’m love baking…
and those look sooo good.
Those cupcakes look SO yummy & I wouldn’t have even known they were lined with easter paper! You did an amazing job on the frosting, btw!!
@Christine: Thank you! (: I love frosting & icing cakes/cupcakes – it’s my favorite part (besides licking the bowl clean of batter (; ) xx
My goodness…three bloggers have seduced me with cupcakes this week! Must be a sign that I need to get some for myself.
Enjoy your week.
Oh gawd…Cupcakes..they look so delicious~~ [I’m going to have to try the expresso tip one of these days] Yesterday, I just helped myself to a Cheesequake Blizzard [not really home made but..oh well] after working out. Yay meeeee…..ahahaha
Enjoy the cupcakes!!
E> An
p.s. One of my new found friends recommended to add bacon bits to [chocolate chip?] cookies. He said the saltiness+sweetness was interesting but great. Another thing for me to try..but passing on to you! >;D
@An: I neeeed to try that Cheesequake Blizzard – from DQ, right? (: Oh that sounds quite strange, but also quite interesting! Thanks for the tip love! xx
man those are making me hungry. I love mini cupcakes too b/c you get the indulgence without eating too much. I love the cupcakes my cousin makes – she’s a professional caterer and chef (you can see her goodies here – http://bahbakedathome.blogspot.com/) and my fave is when she injects the mini cupcakes with fillings inside. She does lemon curd, sour cream, mocha – you name it! And all different combos too of icing and toppings….now I really want some thinking about it.
@Liv: Exactly! (: Oo, I’ll check out her blog now, I love a bit of food porn (; I looove making cupcakes with fillings: my current specialities are with lemon curd or rasperry filling and mexican chocolate pudding! (:
yum!!
those cupcakes look scrumptious
OMG! Even with my itchy eyes and throat due to my allergies I can clearly see and taste these DELICIOUSLY CHARMING CUPCAKES !!!:)
biosous,
Gerri
@Gerri Ward: Aww babes I hope you feel better! (: Thank you, though! xx
They look so yummy! I want one ^^ Sadly I don’t like baking at all, it takes too long!
LOVE cupcakes! My goal is to open a cupcake shop eventually 🙂 I get most of my cupcake liners from bakeitpretty.com (they have solid brown ones).
@Danielle: Aw (: You most definitely should! (and I’ll be sure to stop by and stuff my face with delicious adorableness!) Thanks for the suggestion; I’ll check it out! xx
mmmmmmmmmmmm!
it looks incredeably yummy! 😀
Oooowww, you’re crual !
I adore cupcakes, though more esthetically than everything else but yours look so so so good !!

HA! You’re not getting me with this one, you crafty girl you. I just had a piece of my triple chocolate birthday cake, it’s so rich that there is still some left over.
I love using expresso with chocolate, good move there.
@diane: And you didn’t save me a piece? Tsk tsk, I thought you knew better than that! (; xx
Yummy!!! I love chocolate, those looks so delicious!
I would eat it right now!
Olga,

I love cupcakes! I haven’t had them in forever… time to figure out how to get my hands on some…

Ale.
You’ve made me hungry in a second, this looks delicious indeed!
@Dexter: Thanks! (:
uh oh…i have pms and now i’m totally craving chocolate cupcakes!!! 🙂
Oh my goodness. I am literally watering at the mouth. These look delicious! I am a sucker for cupcakes as well, as I believe that any mini baked good is far more appealing simply because of the cuteness factor. And these cupcakes are adorable. You instantly gave me a cupcake craving, lol 😀
– laur @ neonmango
@Laur: Exactly! Aren’t cupcakes just positively adorable? (: They’re much more appealing (IMHO, of course) than huge cakes! xx
They look absolutely delicious! Can’t you send one to me?
@Charlotte: I would love to; address please? (;
These cupcakes look amazing! mind sharing your recipe?
