I really like making a treat a week. I thought this was going to be tough for me and it is, but it is also fun. I am going back and remembering things I used to make 20-25 years ago that I haven’t made in ages. The family is loving being taste testers too. Baking is tough because it has to be so precise but there can be a bit of experimentation too. I just have to remember to retain the overall ratios in the process.

The bitter cold is the perfect time to stay in and bake. Yes, we have been under that big cold bubble. We have had 5 snow days over the past two weeks. My son is convinced that they are not going to have Spring break but they have enough snow days built-in and we have our vacation already scheduled.

Verdict:

These were a hit! Both kids loved them without frosting but they are really good with a nice butter cream frosting too. It is entirely up to you whether to frost or not.

These are a nice chocolate cupcake with a light cheesecake like filling. Yummy! The filling is baked right in the cupcakes so you don’t need to scoop and fill them after they are baked. I like the ease of making them.
