The cupcake craze has truly taken over the food world. Specialty cupcake shops are located all over the country, and have even started to appear overseas! Despite my love of the sweet treat, I have bitten into too many with cloyingly sweet frosting and lackluster cake. Is it too much to ask that a cupcake’s taste match its fancy exterior?
I made these cupcakes for a birthday party a few months ago, and let me tell you–THEY ARE DELICIOUS. Wanting to put a unique spin on the traditional cupcake, I decided to dip the strawberry-filled beauties in chocolate. I don’t know if I will ever be able to go back to a normal cupcake. The textural crunch of the hardened chocolate with the strawberry filling creates the illusion of the ever-popular chocolate covered strawberry, but in cupcake form. Yes, it’s an extra step to an already involved process, but the end result is well worth the effort.
