Jealousy Chocolate Cherry Mini-Cupcakes
On the way home from work today, hubby says: “My Lean Cuisine had the best dessert in it” Talk about a slap in the face. I’m a baker, and my hubby tells me that the best dessert he’s had came out of a frozen meal?!?! The nerve of that guy!
In a fit of jealousy I set out to prove him wrong and created my Jealousy Chocolate Cherry Mini-Cupcakes. Hubby did say that the cupcakes were better and even apologized for his stupidity. I kind of cheated because I didn’t have anything to make cupcakes with, but they were still good.
Jealousy Chocolate Cherry Mini-Cupcakes
Devil’s Food Cake Mix
Fresh cherries – pitted and quartered
Chocolate Frosting (I prefer the Whipped kind)
Make cake mix as directed on box. Mix in about 3/4 of the cherries.
Fill mini-cupcake pan (lined with papers).
Bake as directed and allow to cool completely.
Frost with chocolate frosting and garnish with cherries.

Beautiful! I love the green pop of the basil scatted throughout.
These are definitely super creative! I love the strawberry basil combination… I’ve had a wonderful strawberry basil drink before… never added peaches too though… I’m sure that added some awesome flavor! Beautiful cupcakes!
Adding the peaches to the strawberry-basil combination was a great idea! This looks delicious.
i love your cupcake week! i have been craving them this week too!
These look super yummy!
Okay, you are now officially dangerous to my waistline, lady! Can you see me salivating over here??? :0)
Ha sorry for making you salivate! If you’re feeling up for a creative cupcake, definitely try these flavors together.
Those cupcakes look amaaazing.
Not only are these cute they are adorable too!
This is a tasty dish to experiment with. There are also various herbs and spices you can mix.
