This week I wanted to concentrate on the frosting part of the cupcake and to learn how to work with it to make the cupcake look cuter! The Chocolate Sour Cream Cupcakes, from cupcakes! by Elinor Klivans, that I made this week did not work out for me. They were so fragile that I couldn't put frosting on them. I'm sure that I messed something up, but then I had to think fast, so I used a chocolate cake mix to make the cupcakes you see here. 
I did use her recipe for Peppermint Icing, with some embellishment. I wanted the frosting to be more stiff, so I added more confectioners' than she called for. The frosting turned out to be a lesson in the ultimate in decadence! You can eat it all by itself. The combination of the chocolate and the pink mint frosting did make for an outstanding cupcake.Recipe Downloads: PDF | WORD | TEXT
