These come from Martha Stewart however I did not follow that recipe (if you haven't figured it out yet I don't like following recipes). I don't know how those cupcakes taste, but mine were delicious, toot, toot (that's me tooting my own horn). Here is my chocolate cupcake recipe. Its super easy
1 chocolate cake mix
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup of sour cream
3 eggs
1/2 bag mini chocolate chips
Just mix it all together and put it in your cupcake tin and bake at 375 for 20 mini (less time if making mini cupcakes longer if making a cake)
I ate many of these cupcakes before I even frosted them they were that good.
This delicious looking frosting was made using the recipe from marthastewart.com. The frosting was pretty good, but my husband thought it was too sweet and it was a little grainy. I have been thinking if I could make a light weight frosting like this using powder sugar so it wasn't so grainy. Oh, and since I was serving these to children and a pregnant lady I used meringue powder instead of egg white (just look on container for substitution amounts).
I placed the frosting in a zip lock bag and cut the tip off and piped it on the cupcake as high as I could.
So make a delicious chocolate cupcake top it with sweet light frosting and then dip it in chocolate how could it get any better than this. I found the mini cupcakes easier to dip.
My two year loved helping me make this for her friend Caleb's birthday party at playgroup. Caleb's mommy is pregnant, been there done that with a toddler and knew making cupcakes is not always what you want to do with your free time, eating them yes that I liked to do when pregnant. The day of the party it was raining and I was trying to get inside with a toddler, baby and a platter of cupcakes. I gave the cupcakes to the toddler who held onto the cupcakes with both hands instead of holding onto the stroller and with me moving a little faster to get out of the rain lost the toddler with the cupcakes off the stroller. Addi was more devastated by the few cupcakes we lost to a puddle in the parking lot than her scrapped knees.
These cupcakes took a little more time then normal, especially the frosting, but they were fun and oh so delicious. To see beautiful pictures of Hi Hat Cupcakes and my inspiration for making these visit Bakerella.

I saw these on Bakerella and have been wanting to try them.... great job!
I love that swirl! It reminds me of a dip cone from Dairy Queen. My favorite!
I also saw these on Bakerella. The first time I made them they were grainy but not the second time! You just need to get your egg whites warmer and the sugar will dissolve! :)
These cupcakes look like a soft serve ice cream cone dipped in chocolate A Carvel Brown Bonnett. I have to try them. Thanks for the recipe.
I also saw this on bakerlla too...They look sooo yummy!!! Will definitely try this soon too!!! Awesome job!
What tip did you use to get that great swirl?

THESE are AMAZING!! I'm totally making these for my sons bday
Just added how I piped on the frosting. I didn't use a tip I just used a zip lock with the tip cut off. Super easy and cheap and then I got to throw the bag away no clean up.
These look SO yummy!! Who wouldn't want to get their hands on one of those!!
Sooo good! I would love one of these right now!
