Black Forest Cupcakes for Frosting for the Cause
Have you guys seen the blog Frosting for a Cause? From their about page
Once a day, every day for a year you will be treated to a new and talented blogger who will showcase their home-made, hand-decorated cookies or cupcakes together with their recipes. Almost everyone, everywhere, has been touched by cancer in one form or another. The guest bakers will also share in a very personal manner with readers of Frosting for the Cause, about a woman in their life who had to face this terrible disease head-on.
The bakers/bloggers who participate all agree to donate $25 to the Canadian or American Cancer Society. As an added bonus, my company does donation matching, so my donation got doubled!
You should definitely check it out. Especially if you want the recipe for these Black Forest Cupcakes. I’ve provided the guest post for them today including the recipe for this cute little guy.
One Year Ago: Chinese Restaurant Almond Cookies







I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






The pops are so cute!! Love the colors you used to decorate them with.
Thanks! I just wanted something springy and fun.
Looks adorable!!
These look amazing! Great job. I don’t know if I’d have the patience 🙂
It really helped to break it out into steps. And the help from Hubby was big. If I had to do all 80 of them myself, I probably would have given up half way through…
Holy cow… 80 of them?! You’re a trooper!
Those turned out great though!
They’re SO cute! I love all the different sprinkles you used!
Those are just too cute…and tempting!
Those are incredible!!! great job!!!
Very pretty! I’ve seen those brownie molds. I’m waiting to grab one when I get one of those 40% off coupons.
Glad to hear your MIL had a wonderful party.

Very cute! These look great!
What a cute idea! I love all the bright colors!
Lovely job! Thank you for posting my link. I like your color combination and the flower pots for displaying the brownie pops. Very creative!!
Have you ever tried to freeze them after you dipped them in chocolate? I am thinking of making some for a wedding but wouldn’t have time to dip them on the day of the event.
Lisa, I have not done that for brownie pops before. But I have frozen cake balls which are also covered in chocolate. I would assume it would work just fine. You could always make a small batch to test it out. Definitely let me know how it goes!
