Afternoon Tea Cupcakes

I was introduced to Afternoon Tea/High Tea about 7 years ago now and always love going to different hotels that serve Afternoon Tea with my girlfriends to munch on delicious mini desserts and sandwiches while talking about girly things.

When I got asked to make Afternoon Tea cupcakes, my first reaction was, oh my gosh... these are so delicate and detailed! I had no idea how I'd do them. But as time went by, I started thinking more about it and then was determined to try making them because they were so cute.

With the help of my friend, we took on the challenge to make mini desserts out of fondant for cupcake toppers for 2 types of cupcakes:

1. Chocolate buttercream on Chocolate Cupcake
2. Strawberry buttercream on Vanilla Bean Cupcake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

I have always loved peanut butter on my toast and bagels.  So why not on cupcakes as well? My friend asked for an order of chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. Another perfect match made in heaven.  For those who love Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, you would love this cupcake combination.  

Close your eyes and start drooling...  a moist chocolate cupcake with a creamy peanut butter ball filling, topped with peanut butter cream cheese buttercream that melts in your mouth. Top that off with a mini Reece's cup drizzled with melted chocolate.
