M&M Cupcakes

Copyright allrights reserved by peachpurple

Do kids ever say “NO” to tea parties with M&M cookies and

 cupcakes?

You will always get thunders of “YES!!” with a broad smile across

 their tiny faces, beaming from ear to ear.

A few years ago, I had bought a box of soft and delicious M & M

 cupcakes from a bakery shop.

Honestly, that was the only bakery shop in town that sells M&M

 cupcakes , generously scattered with colorful M& M chocolates

 over the top.

I wasn’t the only customer who had grabbed 12 cupcakes per box.

 Can you imagine 3 shelves of cupcakes were gone in 5 minutes??

My kids fell in love with these cupcakes, especially the M&M 

chocolates.

They were actually picking out the chocolates, enjoying the 

chocolaty taste before eating the whole cupcake!

I have been searching high and low for these cupcakes but none

 of the bakery shops sell anymore of them.

I had asked the manager of the previous bakery shop why they 

aren’t baking M&M cupcakes anymore.

The reason was the cost of M&M chocolates are too high for

 them to bear.

By including the additional cost of these chocolates, the 

cupcakes would cost an extra dollar for each unit.

Honestly, that is way too expensive for a cupcake.

Good news!

Yesterday, I had finally found several sites that featured M&M

 cupcakes.

Majority of the recipes required too many steps that I found not 

necessary to follow.

Hence, I excluded some of the steps and blend in with my 

regular cake recipe steps instead.

Surprisingly, these modified cupcake recipe turned out sweet, 

buttery,delicious and fluffy!

My son took a few of the M&M cupcakes to school for lunch and came back with an empty lunch box.

He said that his friends were praising of his unique lunch and even stole a few bites from the cupcakes!

So, what’s the catch ?

Use your creative imagination to mix match ingredients with

 your kid’s favorite chocolate candies to create fun and colorful 

delights.

Here is the recipe for M&M Cupcakes that I would like to share

    • That looks like a good cupcake. I have been noticing that cupcakes are getting popular in occasions. Even in weddings, the cake used to be sliced for the guests but now there are cupcakes that are distributed around and the wedding cake remains intact except for the piece of slice for the bride and groom.

    • @alexandoy/
      thanks sir,
      Yup it is a delicious cupcake, I am sure kids and adults would love to try this cupcake out.
      Too bad, I couldn't find these M&M cupcakes anymore in bakery shops, the cost of the cupcake is way too high.

      Yup, now in weddings, birthday, whatever event festival, guests are served with cupcakes, jellies and tarts, very popular to tempt the young and teens.

      LOL! true, the bride and groom didn't have the opportunity to indulge in this sweet stuff, too busy with YAMSENG !
