After the failed attempt at colour flow horses (see Failed at Flow<\/a>), \u00a0I had to find another way to make Black Bottom Horse Cupcakes for my mom’s birthday. \u00a0Here they are!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Bottom Horse Cupcakes<\/span><\/p>\n

Cupcakes:<\/span> These cupcakes are delicious! \u00a0Make your favourtie chocolate cupcake batter, fill the liners 1\/3 full. \u00a0Cream together one brick of cream cheese, and one cup of sugar. \u00a0When smooth, add one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. \u00a0Drop one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate cake batter. \u00a0Bake for 20 mins at 350 F. \u00a0They taste like cheesecake filled chocolate cupcakes. \u00a0Mmmmm!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were an absolute hit with my mom…thank god because they were touch and go for a while. \u00a0Due to my schedule (massage!…priorities) I had left decorating the horses until one hour before mom’s birthday dinner. \u00a0I ended up slightly stressed, and rushing! \u00a0Not a good combo when you’re trying to fiddle with small pieces. \u00a0I ended up with a VERY chocolately counter, VERY chocolatey hands…pants…arms…shirt. \u00a0EVERYWHERE! \u00a0Tip: For the love, leave yourself enough time to actually enjoy putting these cupcakes together.<\/p>\n

Decorating:<\/span> What you need…peppermint patties, mini m&m’s, vanilla icing (divided into one white icing tube and one light brown gel tinted tube), chocolate icing, hickory sticks. \u00a0Ice all of the cupcakes. \u00a0The peppermint patties become the horse’s nose…cover them in chocolate icing. \u00a0For the ears, I used the patties cut into triangular shapes, covered them in icing and then used half a toothpick to hold them in place. \u00a0The rest, you can probably see in the pictures. \u00a0Have fun!<\/p>\n

The decorating part is tedious, but they turned out so well…if I don’t say so myself…and they’re delish. \u00a0Of course, seeing the enjoyment on my mom’s face, makes it worth it! \u00a0Happy Birthday Mom! \u00a0I love you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what the colour flow horses ended up looking like . . .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
