Chocolate Truffles

These are chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate ganache and different toppings. I used Andes mints, Oreo crumbs, cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles.

Gluten-free chocolate

Except they're not gluten free. I just made regular chocolate cupcakes and frosted them with vanilla frosting.

Bad Mama Jama

Chocolate cupcakes, with raspberry jam in the middle, frosted with chocolate ganache and more raspberry jam, topped with a raspberry. I thought they were very good. (12/2)

Hot Mama

Chocolate cupcakes with spicy chocolate frosting. The frosting is just chocolate with a little bit of ground red pepper. On top I made Swedish fish into lips. They were surprisingly good. (Made 11/25)

Fudgy Baby Cakes

These cupcakes were a gooey chocolate cake with powdered sugar on top. They were one of my favorites. (Made 11/4)

That's Amore

These cupcakes were marble. I made half a batch of chocolate and half a batch of white cake then put one scoop of each into the cupcake pan and swirled it with a knife. The frosting was half chocolate and half vanilla. It was topped with gold sanding sugar and white sugar balls because I couldn't find gold. The almond extract is a little overpowering in the cupcakes but not terrible. The cupcakes were more moist this week. I also found that when putting the batter into the pans they looked better if the chocolate went first and was on the bottom and the vanilla went on top. (Made 10/22)

Stupid Cupid

These cupcakes were strawberry with chocolate frosting topped with a strawberry, chocolate sprinkles and chocolate ganache. I used raspberry extract instead of strawberry in the cake. Unfortunately I forgot to put them in the fridge and they got moldy.

Chocolate Cheesecake

These were chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting in the middle and on top, they were topped with chocolate curls. I used Hershey bars and a potato peeler to make the curls.

Mint Chocolate Chip

This weeks cupcakes were chocolate with chocolate ganache , mint frosting and Andes mints on top. The mint frosting was very minty alone but it balanced out well with the chocolate.

Chocolate Chunk

A chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and chocolate chunks on top. I used pieces of a milk chocolate ghirardelli bar. In the frosting I used light crew instead of whipping cream. It tastes good but is a little thicker.

Peanut Butter Cup

I made these cupcake last weekend. They were very good. The ganache was not as sweet because I mixed it with unsweetened chocolate but it turned out pretty well. It it a chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganache and peanut butter frosting.

Cupcake number 3. I made these cupcakes at Grandma DeRosa's house. They are chocolate cupcakes with cookies and cream frosting and a mini Oreo on top.

Mississippi Mud

Cupcake number one: Mississippi Mud. In the cupcake batter I used half the amount of vanilla extract instead of chocolate extract but it came out fine.
