Cupcakes are a fun way of making a quick dessert since cupcakes need about a half hour or less in the oven including this gourmet cupcakes recipes...

Perhaps cupcakes should be included into the food pyramid chart. That way we would all know that it was allowed in our diets and then perhaps they would not have to be such a tempting, almost forbidden treat. It could be like some personal trainers giving their trainees “cheat days” to eat whatever they want but just on those certain days.

Cupcakes are a fun and easy way of making a quick dessert since most cupcakes only need about a half hour or less in the oven before they are done. They are also perfect for parties especially if you do not make them all the same as everyone has different likes and dislikes.

Although cupcakes are fun and easy to make and all those good things, they can also be seen as somewhat gourmet depending on what is in them and how they are presented. There is just something about a nice white plate that makes almost anything sitting on it look gourmet.

In this up close delicious looking picture of a lovely gourmet cupcake, you will see that the frosting looks to be decorated by using a special device you can find in bakeries and some grocery stores. If you want to add that little bit of red on the top you would just need some red sprinkles is all. This gourmet cupcake should only take you about 20-25 minutes for a dozen or two. That is pretty fast for such a decadent dessert. If you want to have some for later just have a very good container with a tight seal.

Pour into cupcake holders and bake for 20-23 minutes (always check for doneness by putting a clean toothpick into the middle of one or two cupcakes. When it comes out clean they are done.

Slowly add the sugar in, one cup at a time until frosting is thick enough for spreading (you might not need all of the sugar.) You can add food coloring to make it a sort of pale pink as in the photo below or any color.

Spread frosting when cupcakes are cool. You can use a spatula or you may want to find some decorating utensils at a bakery to end up with the frosting looking more like it does in the photo.
