Chocolate chip mint cupcake bust

So I made these chocolate chip mint cupcakes for my firneds 30th b-day. they didn't turn out they way I wanted them to. I used the reseipe from Cupake Wars on the food chanel. It wasn't a chocolate cake but thought since it asked for fresh mint it would be good. I made the cake and it said 25 mins. to cook..so i always cook for less, so I did 22 minutes first thing I notices is they are over cooked! After cooling they are already hard! Then to the frosting... tasted too much like butter I won't use a certain kind any more! I didnt use enough mint leaves, it said sprigs. So off  to the store to get mint extract. a teaspoon of that and it worked! Overall, the mint buttercream frosting made up a bit for the dry cupcake. This is a defient redo!! Until next time happy baking!!

Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcake

So it's been a while. last month I tried to make a chocolate spice cake with a cinimon buttercream frosting..the cake was really good but man the frosting did NOT work out. it was soo weird how it turned out I can't even  expalin it. My friend didn't like it, said it taste too much like butter, but after  putting LOTS of cinnimon in it..i liked it. My other firend who tried it really liked. The frosting is defiently a redo.  I also want to use actual mexican choclate next time. It has a slightly different taste to it.  Overall I think it was a success!
 This friday I will be making a choclate mint cupcake for a friends 30th b-day! I'm really excited. I've never planned a party before so hopefully all turns out well..lol! Unitl next time have a great trip!
