I made vanilla cupcakes with chocolate and strawberry frosting, chocolate lime cupcakes and beer cheese cupcakes with bacon and cream cheese frosting.
The vanilla ones were for a friend's birthday, topped off with mini smarties. They went down well with those who tried them but the frosting was too loose so they looked a little sloppy. I just wanted another excuse to swirl different colours of icing on a cupcake :P
The next ones I made were chocolate lime flavoured inspired by the chocolate lime sweets I love. I used the recipe for lemon cupcakes from the primrose bakery book but used lime juice and zest instead of lemon and added a little green food colouring to make them green.
Last but not least I made the very disgusting sounding beer cheese cupcakes! I found a recipe for these while I was mooching through the Internet. (recipe : http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2008/01/beer-cheese-cupcakes-with-bacon-cheddar.html)
Knowing that some of the guys at work love to try weird things I decided to give them a try and they went down very well! I made the bacon cheddar cream cheese frosting to go on top and they looked horrible!!
They were actually really nice! They didn't taste too much like beer or cheese but they were delicious! I think the frosting needed more bacon! But then again, I think everything needs more bacon!
