​Mud Cupcakes

To go along with Andrew’s tree stump cake, I made mud cupcakes. They were the same marble flavor and had the same dark chocolate frosting. Instead of piping on the frosting, I dipped each cupcake in the warm frosting. Warming it up for just 5-8 seconds make it so much easier to dip and have a smooth finish, but warming it up too much can make it runny. After I dipped each cupcake in the frosting, I then dipped them in a bow of the leftover marble cake crumbs. This creates the perfect look of mud and was super fun to eat!
