Cupcake bites!
I just realized I never showed what the entire thing looks like. So here you are! These things are amazingly adorable. They fit into your palm and can be eaten in one bite. The bottoms are chocolate (I varied between milk and dark), and inside is dark chocolate cake.
I made them in yellow and green-topped on my own, and purple-topped with my sister (the purple was so pretty!). The yellow was lemon-flavored, the green mint-flavored, and the purple vanilla-flavored. Sorry I don’t have any photos of the green and purple ones!
These are, in my and my sister’s opinion, best eaten refrigerated. But the texture’s definitely more easy to handle when they’re warm (when they’re refrigerated, the coating just falls apart when you start to take your first bite).
I think these would make awesome little gifts! Especially considering that one “batch” yields about 80 of these little cupcake bites. I actually gifted some to my friend for helping me move into my new dorm, and she fell in love with them. I also gave one to a lady at the Southwest kiosk who let my bag pass even though it was a little overweight.. hehe.
I’m back on campus, and class starts tomorrow. Unfortunately, this means it’ll probably be a while until I can bake again; funds are low (because they’re all getting sucked up by text book purchases), and time might be a little scarce with the mayhem of the first week.
I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen.
