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!
