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.

LOVE the decorated cupcakes! What recipe did you use? They look delicious. 🙂
It was nice meeting you yesterday. Your m&m cookies were yummy as well.
Thanks Elina! I used this recipe for Irish Car Bomb cupcakes from Smitten Kitchen. I’ll do a full post with the recipe and details later.
Super cute!! They look delicious too. 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration; I had seen the general idea elsewhere but never thought about doing it for sports logos for some reason. I made a few cupcake toppers this afternoon that I’ll be posting soon. (peasandcues.wordpress.com) Great idea!!
I love this! Im going to try to make some candy toppers for my cupcakes now.
They are so adorable! I don’t know why I do not do cupcakes more often. They are a such a crowd pleaser 🙂

I actually prefer the yellow sprinkles to the idea of yellow/gold frosting. It makes them look SO CHIC
I don’t know if the frosting or actually cupcake was my favorite part, so good I had to bring one to work with me on Monday.
