Black Velvet Cupcakes with Haunted Chocolate Tree’s
27 comments »
Do you ever feel like you can’t see the forest for the tree’s?
I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist.
There’s all sorts of fantastic news and gossip to catch you up on, like how at exactly 4:44 today my entire house was clean for a single, perfect second. And how I totally lived this moment while playing chaperone at my son’s 7th grade dance last Friday. And how I picked up a handful of rainbow colored leaves while on a midafternoon jog, then tossed them in the air because I couldn’t smile big enough over the sheer wonder that is autumn.
But, how could we possibly waste a moment of breath on gossip when there are Black Velvet Cupcakes to gawk? I want so much to say something…anything about these cupcakes. But, I think they are so utterly clever and adorable, I can think of only one thing to do with them.
Bake ‘em. Share ‘em. Eat ‘em up.
Happy Cupcake-o-ween!

I love your chocolate trees! They could also be moose or deer antlers. Just a thought! You are such a creative baker.

Very cute- I did something similar last year- I sprinkled fall leaf sprinkles on the trees before they dried. Your tries are MUCH better than mine! ;0)

When will I learn not to look at your blog at 9:30 in the morning?! All I am going to think about all day is cupcakes. Black velvet cupcakes with amazingly clever little trees sticking out. These look so delicious and, well, everything else wonderful I could possibly say about such cupcakes.
Good morning.

I've just become your most recent follower. These cupcakes are brilliant! Those trees look professionally done, but thanks to your wonderful tutorial anyone can do them. I'm trying this next year.

I love these trees and made them yesterday! Wonderful idea!
I had trouble with them staying solid at room temperature, though. I had to put them in the fridge to solidify, and they began to droop once I took them out and put them in the cupcakes. Any advice on how to avoid this?

How easy is it to turn these into another kind of Velvet? I want to make Green Velvet cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day and your site is the only site I am aware of for High Altitude recipes. Any information would be appreciated!
