Chocolate Sweetie Cupcakes, Cute little cupcakes! Great for the kids to make and for all of us to enjoy Undecorated they freeze really well so you can prepare them beforehand , I’m so sorry I don’t like giving bad review but I wasn’t very impresed with this recipe I was looking for a treat to take with us on a camping trip to celabtate my sons 10th birhday I saw this recipe and after reading the good reviews thought I’ll give it a try To strt with I’dlike to say that the icing came out beautifully I had to add some exta milk, and it came nice and smooth like choc spread I would prefer if it was to the cake on the ingredients though The cup cakes where disapointing to what I was hoping They came out flat or even worst, in a dip, and dry in texture , *Reviewed as Recipe of the Week in the Kid Friendly Cooking Forum* Easy to make and great clear instructions A moist fudgey cupcake with a rich sweet chocolate icing When I made the cake mixture it was quite thick and didn’t seem to be enough for 18 cakes It did make 18 traditional small cupcakes/pattycakes – perfectly A good kid sized cake I made these for my little friend next door for her 5th Birthday party Photo also being posted Updated to add- I’ve now made these gluten-free and they tasted great Used a gluten-free flour blend and added one teaspoon of xanthan gum used gf baking powder to make the flour self-raising, dutch cocoa powder and pure icing sugar for the icing The gluten-free version looked much like the regular wheat flour cakes that I made
