Christmas Cupcakes!

It was Hélène's birthday this past Saturday, so I decided to introduce France to the wonderful world of Irish carbomb cupcakes. Now, granted I didn't put whiskey or Irish cream in them, they were still Irish carbomb cupcakes in spirit. Or without spirits? You get the idea...

The cake part turned out possibly the best they've ever been despite that fact that for flour, butter and sugar I have to do a fair amount of math to figure out how much to weigh out in grams and the rest of the ingredients, I just guess on...


Yum! Chocolate ganache filling...


The frosting was fairly horrible because they don't really use frosting in Europe as much as we do, so my choices for powdered sugar weren't very good, but oh, well.


In the end I added a little Christmas decoration for fun.
