I'm a sucker. A sucker for swirls of frosting, colorful sprinkles, and dense, dense chocolatey goodness. So why is it that these little cupcake bites have been sitting in queue for over three months? Travesty, I tell you! Either that, or it's a sign of how possessive I am of certain things. Cute, little, chocolatey things, happily sprinkled with little pastel butterflies or bright flowers.
These came after a failed attempt at cupcake bites - red velvet, in fact. I used a box mix (horrors!), and every time I went to take pictures of them, I got irritated at how red my fingers got. That. is. not. natural. Pretty, yes. Natural, not so much. So I went on a small hiatus from these little goodies, until I made a chocolate cake that rose so much it caved in near the end of baking. Since it would be a little difficult to make the cake aesthetically pleasing in the form it was in, I went to a backup plan. Cupcake bites, with homemade cream cheese frosting. And sprinkles.
I did mention the sprinkles, right?
Because that's nearly the best part for me.
SPRINKLES!!!
*ahem* May I take this moment to thank you for putting up with my craziness? Because seriously, you're super. As I tell the boyfriend over and over, I wouldn't date me.

Hmm. You certainly make sprinkles sound intriguing. Cream cheese frosting too. Excuse me, I've got to go find something to frost...

sprinkles are the best!! I still get the donuts with the sprinkles on top and call them the sprinkly one even though it's really called vanilla dip..hahha. The cupcakes look really cute! You did an amazing job decorating them.
Cute cupcake bites! Sprinkles are always good.
You do realize that red is not a flavor - (insert heavy sarcasm). I don't get the whole red velvet thing anyways, but I just adore the mini's. How the %@$# did you frost them so nicely? I mean, they are small, so it must have been quite a delicious chore.
Sucker. ;-)
Those are adorable. I have those same sprinkles. I was thinking of breaking them out to decorate the cupcakes that I'm taking to Brianna's kindergarten class on Monday (her birthday is on Sunday).
Ah-Freaking-Adorable! I've had cupcake bites on my list for a while now too. Just haven't had the chance yet. Definitely gonna load up on the sprinkles when I do though ;)
