My co-worker is seriously talented.
The other day she sends me this link in reference her thoughts about making the recipe. I absolutely love a person that will jump in and try anything!! She’s already awesome at baking (remember this post?), so it was nothing for her to give it a try.
The results:
They look ridiculously rich and over-the-top sweet, but they were far from. What’s even cuter about these: they had a slight hint of peppermint in the frosting. Here is what MJ had to say about it:
I used Ghiradelli 60% dark cacao for the chocolate sauce and Starbucks Via coffee in the cupcake batter. I couldn’t get the Swiss Meringue Frosting to work, so I did whipped cream instead, to keep the texture light.
Her frosting recipe came from here and instead of almond extract, she used peppermint extract. I told you – the girl is talented.
These cupcakes are definitely a great treat to serve at any holiday function this season. She made them just in time for National Cupcake Day so it was a sweet treat!
