Cupcake Sunday(ish): Half Moon Cupcakes

As I said last night, I got caught up in all of the hub-bub surrounding the health care vote and by the time the results were in it was way past my bedtime.  Yesterday's cupcake was called a Half Moon Cupcake.  It was along the lines of a black and white cookie, but it was a mix of chocolate and vanilla cake that was covered half in a powder sugar frosting and half in melted bittersweet chocolate.  Overall they were pretty tasty, but I felt like they were lacking something.  Maybe I was expecting them to be slightly sweeter (similar to the cake of a black and white cookie)?  This is what they looked like when I finished frosting all of them:

C is a good helper in the kitchen.  He's always so helpful when it's time to clean up:

And of course I have to pick one of the "pretty" ones to show you:

And last but not least, Izzy helps me write this post.  She's a good helper:

I'm not sure I would make them again because of the amount of work that went into a "Meh" cupcake, but the co-workers seemed to enjoy them!  I have a few more posts up my sleeve that I need to get out, but just a heads up that I won't be making a cupcake next weekend.  One of my bffs is getting married and I'll be in Northern VA for the bridal shower and bachelorette party.  Have a great week!
