Chocolate and Buttercream

Last week I made some practice cupcakes. They were chocolate cakes with butter cream frosting. The best I've ever made.



No, I didn't make it outside, I just ate it outside. In reverence for a dieter inside. Please don't analyze the crooked bite. Now, I cannot remember how I made the butter cream, I've tried three times since then and I need it for this weekend. I have five pregnant cousins and a sister-in-law for whom I am hosting a belly party. A belly party because many of them have had previous children and I don't want them to feel awkward for having what some might see as "another" baby shower... Did I mention it was this weekend?


I need that frosting. Now.
Love, Amy
