Bake 52: Week 3

 This week's recipe...BOSTON CREAM CUPCAKES!


As soon as I got this cookbook, I marked this page.  These cupcakes look so delicious.  And they were not disappointing.  Sometimes you just have to splurge and eat something that is horribly unhealthy...but well worth it!  The cupcakes themselves were moist and had THE BEST flavor (I'm sure the heavy whipping cream in the batter didn't hurt, right?).  The pastry cream was amazing.  The chocolate glaze was a little bitter, but combined with the custard and cupcake, the taste blended together and I loved it! (Though I would LOVE to try it with milk chocolate...) YUM! My kids loved these too.  They were a little on the rich side, so my 4 and 6 year olds couldn't quite finish theirs, but my 8 year old ate 1 1/2 of them.  I would definitely love to make these again - when I can share with friends so I don't eat the whole batch!!
