It was an easy decision for me to join this new group baking its way through Martha Stewart's Cupcakes, started (and hosted this week) by Betty of Eat My Cupcake, because I love cupcakes and believed I could keep up with the once a month posting schedule (look for us on the 15th!); this week we started with chocolate salted-caramel mini cupcakes: chocolate cupcakes filled with homemade caramel (into which a bit of sea salt was mixed) and topped with the most magnificent chocolate frosting - easy to pipe and so shiny, the cupcakes were incredibly rich but oh so delicious and worth the huge sink of dirty dishes I created making them :)
