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







I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Holy Yum. This looks amazing!
I’m thinking about making another one so I can take pics of slices. But since it’s for a contest I couldn’t… And we have a no camera policy at work… Yep, it’s decided, I’ll just have to make another one.
Another pie is definitely in order! I’m thinking I’ll have to take this to the family Thanksgiving.
So I think I’ll be using this one – given it combines my two favorite desserts (chocolate chip cookie bars and pie) into one tasty looking combo! Good work 😉
Yes, this was very good. The inside was like a gooey just barely under cooked cookie. AWESOME.
