Yup. That's right.
BonJovi cupcakes. HubbyDear's
co-workers requested chocolate cupcakes decorated with a BonJovi theme for one
of them. Seriously. My mind went . Just like that.
I've known about
this for a few months, so I've had time to obsess … to no avail. Sadly, I resorted to rather
"boring" decorations. I really
like to make my own decorations, but this one just didn't happen for me. We raided Country Kitchen for basic Rock
& Roll themed decorations.
To make up for it,
I'm making Nutella cupcakes instead of plain chocolate cupcakes. I've been anxious to do a filled cupcake
since my class. I have the filling tip! I want to use it! :)
LATER …
TWO containers of
Nutella later … mmmm!
I used Jamie's Nutella cupcake directions that included my go-to chocolate cake for the cupcake
and Nutella Buttercream. OH. MY. <insert multitudes of heavenly angels
singing>

| Epic Fail Using the Filling Tip |
As for the filling
tip, I don't know if I'm just a wimp and couldn't squeeze the Nutella through
it, but I could NOT fill those cupcakes!
I ended up using a regular frosting tip #8 instead and treated it the
same as if I were using the filling tip - pushing it into the cupcake center
and filling until the top swelled a bit.
It was kind
of amazing that I jar of Nutella was EXACTLY the right
amount for 24 cupcakes!
Now, as for the
Nutella buttercream frosting … let me repeat:
OH. MY. <there go the angels again!>
And the Nutella
cupcakes have been proclaimed by hubby's office as the best cupcakes yet!
