*perfection for a perfect newborn

a friend just had a new baby boy.

CONGRATULATIONS

Brody Anthony was a bigggg boy- 9 lbs 13 oz.

I decided to make cupcakes for the new parents.

I tried a Recipe from Martha Stewart-


I made a few tweaks though- I added vanilla flavoring.

And I made my own chocolate frosting!




THESE CUPCAKES ARE DELISH!

be warned though- these cupcakes need a strong frosting flavor to counteract the orange in the cake.

I think I may be doing an orange,lemon, and raspberry cupcake next time with a light cream cheese frosting!

To make the chocolate frosting-

1 cup shortening
1 lb. confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon Meringue Powder
10 teaspoons milk/water
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup melted chocolate chips

*mix all together in the blender.  You may need to add more water/milk.  The chocolate makes the mixture more stiff!
