Bake-N-Blog: Chocolate Cupcakes with Mint Marshmallow Frosting

Normally I don't write about food, but when fellow design blogger, Staci Edwards of  Ontario asked who would be up for baking-n-blogging about one of Ming Makes Cupcakes desserts, I jumped right in. With thirty-three gourmet cupcake recipes to choose from, it wasn't easy to narrow it down. Cupcake #8, Chocolate Cupcakes with Mint Marshmallow Frosting was the one I selected because it looked like one I couldn't mess up. Here is the recipe:

The cupcakes were a breeze to make and I presented them to my Dad for his birthday. He and several other tasters gave them two thumbs up! The cupcakes were super moist and the cool marshmallow mint frosting was a nice compliment to the rich chocolate. Can't go wrong with this recipe!

Thanks Staci for this fun blogging opportunity and to see more yummy cupcakes go here.

Happy baking!

Wow, your cupcakes look just like the original, right down to the silver liners!! :-) And I'm sure they were yummy ;-) I haven't read one negative cupcake review yet -- Ming knows her cupcakes :-)

Yummy. Been looking for a new cupcake recipe to try out actually (lately I've been on a big baking kick!) and this one looks divine -- and simple, which is always a plus!

Happy weekend, Cristin!
