Food Porn: Chocolate cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles

by Nicole Weston, Posted Mar 26th 2006 @ 7:55AM

What could be better than a cupcake? It is an individually-sized cake serving that fits into your hand and is topped with a generous amount of gooey, sugary icing. A cupcake is not really complete until it has also been topped with a generous amount of sprinkles, and the Skinny Epicurean did not let that fact escape her when she made a batch of Magnolia Bakery's Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. Using the recipe from the famous New York bakery's cookbook, she put out a batch of the most beautiful cupcakes I have seen. Maybe it's the lure of those rainbow sprinkles, but I wouldn't mind making a batch myself just to get a taste! She has the full recipe on her blog.

I thought frosting was one of the original food groups until I was 12 years old.
