The Bacon Lover’s Cupcake

Chocolate, bacon and maple buttercream frosting… what else could you want?!!DSC_9302Here is a cupcake that’s sure to impress! I made these a few years back for a shower and they were devoured! (Welcome Baby Kiera)

Just use the Black Magic cake recipe, then whip up a batch of Mama Carp’s Maple Buttercream frosting. I load the frosting into a gallon baggie and snip off the end to frost. Fry up some bacon (Oscar Meyer is our FAVORITE) drain well on paper towels then dip in melted chocolate. These are so good!
