This is short, make no mistake, these mini-cupcakes are definitely sweet. Sweet and tender, caramel filled, sea salt sprinkled, chocolate butter cream topped, bites of sweet chocolate goodness.

We baked from Martha Stewart’s Cupcake Book. As the story goes the recipes are in the book. I’m willing to bet somewhere on the web there will be a recipe floating around. Check out the book at your local library and enjoy all the lovely suggestions from Martha’s fabulous folks.  Of course, then there is  the debate of adding yet one more baking cookbook to the collection.  Go ahead, you know you want it.

Thanks for stopping by, pardon me while I go have a cupcake… YumIMG_1679

    Lovely domed tops on those minis, too bad you had to cut into ‘em. But not too bad since that shot of caramel being poured into one looked so good!

    Great photos!! I’m not a cupcake fan but these look so decadent with the caramel (I’m a sucker for caramel).

    These were wonderful. I took them to a BBQ and everyone raved about them. Your caramel is lovely. I had some problems with mine. Love your pictures.

    Well those photos of you and the making of those incredible cupcakes are just FANTASTIC!!! I love it – I wish I had a “photographer” next to me to do the same thing. Wonderful! Oh – your cupcakes are phenomenal too!!! Your photos have captured the true essence and delectable qualities of these mini-cakes!

    Wow those look wonderful. Not to mention your photographer is amazing! We should all have photographs like that on our blogs.

    I haven’t picked up Martha’s book but will have to check it out.

    Hi! Just thought I’d stop by and wave back! :)

    I’m not sure about wanting another baking book tempting me with its pages full of sweet recipes, but I know I want one of those cupcakes, right now! Looks like you’ve gotten back in the swing of things, got any tips for me? ;)
