Chocolate Chip Cupcakes!

I was inspired this weekend to come up with a new recipe / new type of cupcakes.  I'm trying to create my own recipes - things that will definitely stand out!

I decided to make a yellow cupcakes with mini chocolate chips.  They baked very nicely and I filled them with a dark chocolate ganache.  Then I frosted them with my very own buttercream frosting recipe.  Instead of using milk, I used heavy whipping cream to sweeten it up and I used minimal shortening replacing it with butter.  The frosting was very thick and a little difficult to pipe so I think I will add a little more heavy whipping cream next time.  However, the flavor was great and the frosting wasn't as greasy as normal because of the reduction in shortening.

Here are a couple pictures.  They are definitely delicious!

If you are ever interested in ordering specialty cupcakes or cakes - please let me know!  I enjoy creating, baking, and designing!

Thanks!
