Black Forest Cupcakes for Frosting for the Cause
Have you guys seen the blog Frosting for a Cause? From their about page
Once a day, every day for a year you will be treated to a new and talented blogger who will showcase their home-made, hand-decorated cookies or cupcakes together with their recipes. Almost everyone, everywhere, has been touched by cancer in one form or another. The guest bakers will also share in a very personal manner with readers of Frosting for the Cause, about a woman in their life who had to face this terrible disease head-on.
The bakers/bloggers who participate all agree to donate $25 to the Canadian or American Cancer Society. As an added bonus, my company does donation matching, so my donation got doubled!
You should definitely check it out. Especially if you want the recipe for these Black Forest Cupcakes. I’ve provided the guest post for them today including the recipe for this cute little guy.
One Year Ago: Chinese Restaurant Almond Cookies

Very, very cool looking cupcakes. Incredibly artsy. I love the flavor combos too. I will give them a go.
Very Mo-Dern cupcakes! Love me some chocolate art! Those are definitely fierce. Thanks for entering! Hope you had fun!

very cool!
Very nice, Jen!
Wow! Chocolate with some heat! That sounds awesome 🙂
Hi again! So, I think with the vanilla in this, minus the chocolate and the almond this might work well for preemie’s first birthday cake. Thanks for the help!
What a cool blend of flavors! It’s totally DIVA! And I love the chocolate swoop too!
Sounds awesome! Are the PB cups used in the recipe dairy-free? Are there PB cups dairy-free that exist?
How would you store these and for how long?
