to bring dessert. I decided to make cupcakes.
I made different flavors.
I made Chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse and then added chocolate frosting with a piece of Reeses peanut butter cup.
I actually used Jacqueline's recipe from: http://purplechocolathome.blogspot.com/2010/05/purple-chocolate-cupcakes.html
It makes a great statement with the purple. I changed it up abit with chocolate mousse filling and omitted the candied pansy.
The second cupcake is Strawberry , filled with strawberry filling and then topped with fresh strawberry buttercream frosting....a fresh strawberry is sitting on top. Sprinkles Strawberry cupcake

Sprinkles Strawberry Frosting
Ingredients makes 1 dozen cupcakes
1/2 cup whole frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter - firm

Key Lime Cheesecake dessert
Here's the recipe I used.
Microwave Key Lime Cheesecake
3 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
1 Tablespoon sugar
Combine the crushed cookie crumbs with the melted butter
and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press crumb mixture into bottom of 4 ramekins.
8 oz. package of softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
zest of 1 key lime
2 tablespoons fresh key lime juice
1 egg
Mix the above ingredients until smooth.
Divide equally into the 4 ramekins.
Place in microwave for 2 minutes.
the top of the cheesecake mixture should look dry.
If not, microwave at 30 second intervals until tops appear dry.
Chill for 1 hour or more.
Garnish with whipped cream or berries and serve.
The last dessert is Lemon cupcake filled with lemon curd and a Lemon Buttercream frosting. I garnished with a candied lemon wedge.
The cupcake papers are from Wilton
They were alot of fun to make and the best part was eating them.
Enjoy!
