S'mores Cupcakes

Happy Birthday Liz!

As you may have noticed, it is Liz's birthday.

Remember when I said that a bunch of my friends requested cupcakes? Well, Liz was one of them. So I waited until her birthday to make... S'mores Cupcakes!

Pin It

And now you know why the cupcake has a giant "Liz" on it. I'm not crazy enough to name my cupcakes.. yet. I mean, I did make them, they are a product of me, just like a child..

I'm just kidding. I am not going to name my cupcakes. I promise.

Anyway, I had many, many ideas for this cupcake so if this particular one isn't your style, rest assured that another variation is to come :)

But for my S'mores Cupcakes, I used a chocolate cupcake (from Hershey's) with TWO frosting - marshmallow/graham cracker buttercream and chocolate/graham cracker buttercream.

I hope you enjoy it but most importantly, I hope Liz enjoys it!
