Black Velvet Cupcakes

We created this cupcake for a chocolate cupcake recipe competition. We had to use one of several ingredients.... we chose Guiness. The Black Velvet has been a huge hit at our store, we will find out in March if it was a huge hit with the judges :)

Black Velvet Cupcake: Guiness chocolate cupcake, infused with a hint of fudge, topped with ribbons of champagne butter cream and chocolate curls. The idea came from the drink Black Velvet which consists of pouring Guiness in to a glass and topping with a layer of Champagne. I do not drink but I can tell you the flavors in the cupcake are amazing.
