Here We Go!!!

Who doesn't like or even love cupcakes, right?! Well, as my first post I just had to make a yellow cake with chocolate icing cupcake! I used a yellow butter cake mix and my grandmother's aka Mer Mer's famous chocolate icing! I only made 24 but let me tell you they went fast! Tuesday nights are my girls night watching reality t.v.!  I hate to admit that I get caught up and mesmerized by reality drama! Such a guilty pleasure! Because it was girls night, I thought this would be the best time to bake some delicious cupcakes and I confess some of my friends already had suggestions of what I should make first so of course I choose one of the recommended treats!

 I love making Mer's chocolate icing, its something I have to constantly perfect every time I make it but I think that's one of the reasons why I enjoy making this icing over and over again! Plus, it makes me really appreciate and the honor of having my Mer Mer in my life! And because I love her so much and her special chocolate icing it had to be the first thing I baked for the blog! So here's to you Mer Mer and your amazing chocolate icing that everyone loves so dearly! So with this blog, I want to give all you readers the recipes to these delicious treats! I first have a confession to make the yellow cake mix is not an original!  I used a Duncan Hines yellow butter cake mix! Sorry to disappoint. So there's no recipe for that, just follow the directions on the back and your good to go! Listed below is the recipe for the famous chocolate icing! I hope you all enjoyed the first post! And as a reminder this is my very first attempt into the blogging world..so please be patient with me as I explore my baking skills and becoming a blogger!
