Recipe For S’mores Cupcakes

  

Just as I was getting ready to leave Arizona, I was contacted about receiving and reviewing a copy of Sweet Chic by Rachel Schifter Thebault. Considering that I had already packed SIX boxes of cookbooks, how could I say no to one more?? I am really glad that I said yes, too. The author, owner of Tribeca Treats in New York City, employed a very creative way to organize her book. Each chapter ties a piece of clothing to food. For example, the scooped cookies are the white t-shirts, the chocolate cake is the little black dress and the vanilla icings are the ballet flats.

I chose to make the S’mores Cupcakes. They were mini sized devil’s food cupcakes topped with a marshmallow butter cream frosting and sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. The cake was moist, the frosting was amazing. My family was more than happy to be the taste testers.

I had a hard time frosting them because all of my pastry bags were still packed. I used an inferior no name brand of zip close sandwich bags which kept splitting out the side as I squeezed it. I went through two or three bags, layering them on top of each other as I attempted to make cute swirls on top of the cakes. In the end, I gave up and just used a knife to spread the rest. I didn’t take pictures of those, but they were eaten just as quickly.
