S'mores Cupcakes

I've been on a new cupcake flavor kick lately and decided to try one of my kids favorite things as a recipe.
S'mores!!!

This is fun because just like a s'more the cupcake has 3 layers. Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow.

The graham cracker bottom was cooked for a few minutes before the batter was added so it was nice and crispy. Yum. 

TT Tip: Once the cupcakes are finished, you can garnish with a graham cracker or take a hand torch and torch the top a little, just like a real toasted marshmallow. 

The icing isn't really marshmallow because that would melt down and become a mushy mess, however, this home made icing tastes just as good as marshmallow and holds up much better. 

New Cupcake Flavors

I have recently come across some new flavors for cakes and cupcakes. If I am to be honest with myself (which I always try to be) I would like to try and make ALL of them today, right now!

This always happens when I come across something new. The problem is that I can't realistically make 2 or 3 dozen cupcakes to try out a new recipe. I don't want to eat all of the cupcakes ( and I will) and I also don't  have the time. With 3 kids and a house to keep in order, a new recipe takes time. It also takes tweaking.

Sometimes a recipe that works for one person, doesn't always work for the other.

It would be nice if I could get a babysitter for a few hours just so I could stay home and try out multiple recipes. I could then give the cupcakes and cakes away. Or heck, sell them at a bake sale of some sort. I wonder how legal it is to hold a bake sale out of your home if you are donating the money??
This will be something I will need to look into.

On that note, I would like to give myself a really good reason to try new recipes as well as bake to keep in practice and try new things. So if anyone in blog work would like to see something new, or wants to try a recipe but is worried about how it will come out, please let me know and I will make it first and post about it on my blog. Thanks!
