Chocolate Spice Cupcakes

December 5, 2010 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

Sarah loves to spend her pocket money buying cook books and recently ordered Martha Stewart Cupcakes from the Book Depository. It is a beautiful book with lots of lovely recipes as well as ideas for packaging cupcakes as gifts (not that any would last that long around here!)   Sarah made up a batch of delicious Chocolate Spice Cupcakes this afternoon. She certainly spoils us – they were the perfect treat after Christmas shopping.

Sorry I have been a bit remiss in answering comments and emails lately. December is such a busy time of year – can’t wait for the summer holidays!

    Yummy!! My daughter Kristine spends her money on cookbooks as well, and today she’s been trying to find just the right cupcake recipe for my mother’s 60th birthday party next weekend 🙂

    Well, now, don’t they look scrumptious? Yay, Martha Stewart. I made Martha’s Honeycomb Brittle this morning with my granddaughter. Tastes just like I remember when I was a young one! Thanks for the link, karen.
