Cupcake Poppers

Devils Food Cupcake Poppers
 Prior to frosting,
 a hole was punched in these with the end of  a wooden spoon and then...
...a squirt of maple syrup in the hole
and then frosted with maple buttercream frosting and a chunk of maple bacon.
 ...a squirt of caramel sundae topping in the hole
and then frosted with chocolate sea-salted buttercream frosting and a sprinkling of sea-salt.
No hole in these, just cream cheese and butter frosting 
and a sprinkling of edible yellow glitter and candy pearls.
Devil's Food cake mix and 
(Didn't have cream so half and half was used.)
Separated frosting into three bowls:
1) added maple syrup and a little food coloring for maple color
2) added cocoa and sea salt and a squirt of caramel.
3) added cream cheese and more powdered sugar for the roses.

One box made 5 dozen cupcake poppers.
Baked for 12 minutes.
Used high-altitude directions. 

The exact right size to pop in your mouth in one bite.
So much less mess that way. :-) 
Yum!!!

  1. And so much less guilt....

    I sometimes think butter frosting comes out better when I don't use all cream for the liquid - somehow a bit of water-based fluid helps everything gel.

    Love the salty-sweet combos here! Wouldn't you like to take some of that bacon and just dip it in chocolate? :)
