Chocolate Cupcake Woes.......

Here I sit, after 9pm, with a mighty hankering for a moist, dense, delicious chocolatey goodness cupcake. It must be the end of semester, all I want is sugar and caffeine. Had the same problem yesterday, so I drove myself down to the grocery store........... which is under construction. In particular the bakery was the target of the jack hammers, yellow tape and construction workers. No cupcakes. No cakes of any sort. Sigh, well ok. Back home.

So, tonight I sit and think about chocolate cupcakes, how tastey one might be right about now..... I definitely don't NEED a cupcake but oh boy, wouldn't it be nice.

We are so far from ANYWHERE those thoughts are just torture - if I want a chocolate cupcake I'll have to make it myself.

Don't they even have those hostess things with cream inside and squiggles on the top? I thought all convenience stores HAD to sell those...

Hm.. I had my heart set on their delicious hazlenut/ganache concoction so I didn't even look for those plastic cupcakes that never go bad. Darn.

Oh well you are spoiled....

If I drive due East for an hour and a bit during business hours I can find a pair of those plastic cupcakes. But nothing like hazelnut ganache. I do have a bowl of frozen ganache in the freezer from the last chocolate cake I made. Hmmm. Now you have me thinking....

That's it Briarwood how dare you make me start thinking about mmmm cake

We're recovering from a chocolate brithday cake here. DIL made it for her mother's half century. Her mother had just returned from Hawaii and the cake was made to look like a tropical island. The cake was layered with some homemade jam in the middle.

Heda - to tempt you further, what I am spoiled with once in a while is a hazlenut flavored cake with chocolate ganache between the layers and on top... oh dear .. drooling a little just thinking about it!

Sorry, sorry sorry to get the chocolate/cake craving juices going. Misery loves company I suppose!

Rosewood, that's just cruel. Chocolate cake, tropical island AND home made jam????????

Now Briarwood, you know that you NEED that chocolate - no need to apologize. End of semesters do that to people - Of course, you will be a much better teacher for having that chocolate!!! (Speaking from experience LOL)
