Cupcake Capers – The Continuing Story

I tried out another set of vanilla and chocolate cupcake recipes, this time from Chatelaine’s online recipe archive. They were okay. Not exactly a ringing endorsement eh? The chocolate was better than the vanilla but again, I want deliciously delectable cupcakes. These are for a wedding after all. And really, should anyone settle for less then decadent when it comes to cupcakes? I think not. Which is why I’m very excited to try another two recipes from Cooks Illustrated magazine. Apparently these have been scientifically tested to be the yummiest cupcakes ever! Woo hoo!

The good news is that I now have the ability to create a pretty mean swirl with the icing. I don’t like Wilton’s icing though. Meh. I mean, the icing should be tasty enough that you want to glop it on to everything – cupcakes, toast, pork chops. It has to be that good. I’ll be trying out the Cooks recipes for buttercream too and I’ll report back in April.
