Mini Magnolia


The mini cupcake is my latest obsession. The minute the idea popped into my head, my dear friend, Miss Marta, made them for me. That was a while back. But it was fate. Forget paying $2 for a cupcake so big I can't even fit it in my mouth. Minis are so petite and so sweet, I can eat them in one bite. Well, ok, 2 bites. I made these little German Chocolate rascals a few days ago, and I think they turned out quite nicely. Mini is sooo the new Magnolia.

Yum. German chocolate minis?

I clicked on the image to get a good look at that dreamy homemade frosting. Needless to say, my sweet tooth is left wanting.

I wish I could bake like you.

Jamie.. those look so, so yummy. Now my stomach growling.. and the fruit I brought for lunch just isn't going to cut it.
It's funny because I've been thinking about mini cupcakes lately.. But the mini ones I was thinking of are too mini for cupcake papers, so now I'm confused. How mini are these? WEll, regardless of the size--I would still probably eat 50 of them!

They are quite mini. I bought a special mini baking pan and mini liners. Once baked, they are about 1 1/2" across the top and about 1 1/2" tall. Definitely poppable!
