The Next Best Thing
Baked October 15, 2011
Rose cupcakes for my MIL's book of poems release party. Book is "The Next Best Thing" Poems by Linda Back McKay. We went with a rose theme because there were roses on the book cover. Triple Chocolate Fudge cupcakes with raspberry buttercream frosting. Since the frosting was red I decided to try to get a really good raspberry flavor out of the frosting by using raspberry jam, it worked! And it was delicious! Cupcake toppers are miniatures of the book with 3 poems from the book on the inside pages each individually made by me. Cupcake wrappers were made by me also. Whew! it was a lot of work but well worth it!
