Tasty Tuesday – Better than Buttercream: Chocolate Frosting

I LOVE Cupcakes!!
I especially love cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Yum.
I use the best cream cheese frosting recipe that I found at Anne Strawberry.  Whenever I make cupcakes, this is the frosting I make.  
When I had to make some cupcakes for my niece and nephews recent baptism, I knew that I needed to have a little variety with the cupcakes. Of course I would use my go to frosting, but I have never made chocolate frosting before.  One of the reasons is, I’m not a huge fan of chocolate.  GASP!
I know, I know.  How could it be?
Don’t get me wrong, I like chocolate, but if I have a choice, I don’t usually choose that first.
So it was high time I found a recipe for some chocolate frosting.

I searched the web for a good chocolate frosting recipe and found a pretty good one here at Savory Sweet Life.  I like a frosting that will hold it’s shape after piping, and I thought this one had potential.  The only problem, I’m not a big fan of butter creams.

 Is there anything Liz likes? Geez.

I didn’t really find another recipe that looked like it would work for me.
So what did I do?
Combined the 2 recipes I liked and came up with 
1 fantastic frosting recipe.

I have to admit, for a girl who doesn’t love chocolate frosting, I was licking the spoon with this one.
The cupcakes turned out perfect and the chocolate frosting was the
“icing on the cake”!  Haha!
 As you can see, I wasn’t the only one who liked to lick the frosting off the spoon.
 Beautiful cupcakes for a beautiful occasion.

We are big fans of these yummy cupcakes.  I’m sure they will make frequent appearances at our house.

To the detriment of my waist line. 🙂

Happy Baking!!
