Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cupcake Recipe

First, happy birthday to Little Dude — the big 13!! We love you!

Last night, we had a family party. Little Dude was surrounded by cousins and second-cousins and other family, just like he wanted. He may have been more happy with the party and gathering of everyone together than he was with the presents, of which they were many.

Dinner was a buffet of party foods, but his request, instead of a cake, was cupcakes, in the true fashion of a son of a baker. He asked me for only one food, his favorite, my chocolate and sea salted caramel cupcake recipe, so with the help of his aunt, we popped out two dozen of cupcakes that turned out gorgeous…of course.

The recipe wasn’t my own — I like Martha Stewart’s recipe for the cupcake batter inspiration and the filling, but the buttercream frosting, which includes 3/4 cup of the caramel, is my own creation. Pics below of the process.

The filling sinks so word of advice — don’t core a lot out, or double the caramel!

Tried a different way to frost these. It worked great and was fast!

Love how the buttercream shines!

Two dozen cupcakes? Down to just a few in a matter of minutes.

Definitely a success!

    These look amazing. I wish that I had the ability to create beautiful cupcakes like these. My frosting never comes out looking like yours.

    Thank you! That’s a couple years practice and experimenting with more than a few fails in the mix. It’s fun, and since these weren’t for a client, it was a chance to try a new tip. I haven’t even tried one yet! I saved myself one but I think someone ate it..by the time I served them last night, after the rest of the food, I was too full. I rarely eat my cupcakes but I love caramel!

Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria in DCA has always been a favorite place to take a break and relax. Or to just wait out traffic in the evening. I can’t wait to do this again...but I may never leave the Avengers Campus the first few visits.

My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due to the addition of Ojai Pixie Tangerines! This untraditional version of a Bourbon Sour takes on a new flavor profile by replacing lemon juice and most of the simple syrup with fresh tangerine juice. Still tangy, still refreshing and still bourbon-y, you’ll want to add it to your backyard gathering or nights around the fire pit bar menus. With only three ingredients, you’ll be serving up cocktails in just a few quick shakes.

It may have been way too long since we played bocc It may have been way too long since we played bocce ball. Easter weather and the kids all together called for at least one round at the empty park. I did not win but I may have if we hadn’t cut the game short to come back and finish making dinner.

Good times, good times. I hope you had a happy Easter weekend, too!

Did you start a pandemic garden? I’ve gardened Did you start a pandemic garden? 

I’ve gardened forever now but 2020 made me rethink it. I wanted it to be as pretty as it was useful, and lavender is extremely multipurpose. Pretty. Smells amazing. Edible. And it helps you relax. I dry it and put it in sachets. I put it in my Magical Butter machine and make tinctures and oils. It makes a delish infused simple syrup for champs and a stalk stuck into a vodka cocktail adds a pop of color and flavor. 

Did I mention it just looks pretty? Bonus points for being my favorite color. I buy two new plants every year....except last year. By the time I could go into a nursery, no one had any. So I ordered seeds, but they aren’t ready to plant yet, so I’m short this year. Cultivating and growing lavender takes work, because they easily get too woody and stop blooming. I am a season off my game now but next year, it’s going to be a mini lavender festival in my own tiny backyard.
