Rich Chocolate Cupcakes

Miss Julie is getting married in August and of course there have to be numerous wedding showers for her and fiance, Andy. One of those was a shower sponsored by some of the neighborhood women.

To help with the night's activities, Sparky was asked to make some cupcakes.

Now Sparky can make a good cupcake and her frosting is the best I've had, but she was asked to make a special chocolate cupcake using a new recipe. She followed the directions, adding chopped pecan to some and not to others, swirling the mixed just right. When they came out of the oven we sampled one and found it to be rather rich and gooey for our tastes.

I didn't particularly care for them and Sparky wasn't sure whether they were cooked or not. But she took them to the shower and everyone seemed to favor them over many of the other sweets. So, they were deemed a success.
