It was an easy decision for me to join this new group baking its way through Martha Stewart's Cupcakes, started (and hosted this week) by Betty of Eat My Cupcake, because I love cupcakes and believed I could keep up with the once a month posting schedule (look for us on the 15th!); this week we started with chocolate salted-caramel mini cupcakes: chocolate cupcakes filled with homemade caramel (into which a bit of sea salt was mixed) and topped with the most magnificent chocolate frosting - easy to pipe and so shiny, the cupcakes were incredibly rich but oh so delicious and worth the huge sink of dirty dishes I created making them :)

These really look incredible, Tracey. Glad to see the caramel was uneventful. I did not officially join MSC, but I think I am going to have to jump in unofficially from time to time after seeing your adorable little cupcakes!
Love the pictures. I still have my sink of dirty dishes waiting for me. These were worth it. I love the little minis.
They look lovely! I hope you are feeling well and can't wait to make your pic!
I have frosting envy! Yours turned out so glossy! yummmy
Tracey: The link for Betty's site is wrong - I wanted to check it out to see about joining - but you have the link as eatmycupcake.com - and the site is:

Gorgeous!!! Your frosting looks amazing!!! Mine didnt come out so dark or shiny.
These look absolutely fabulous! I love the combination of salt and chocolate.
Delicious little cupcakes, big pile of dishes, and a lovely sentence to pull it all together!
Oh my - that frosting looks like I could take a bath in it!!
I missed the first recipe (dummy me) but am definitely looking forward to the zucchini spice cakes - we've had those marked for awhile now!
Yours look delicious! I loved them too :)
Wow. Those look amazing! I just love the frosting.
They look wonderful! I just couldn't join another group. but seeing all the cupcakes is making me second guess my decision.
LOVE your shiny frosting...sooo classy!!! I just finished cleaning my sink of dishes, WOW!
Incredible-looking cupcakes. Just look at that dark and glossy frosting, so perfect and so yummy!
I am looking at the different blogs who are participating and each cupcake is nicer than the one before. Yours is beautiful.
oh showing me these marvelous cupcakes while I m dieting it s so cruel. That frosting looks amazing!
Your cupcakes look fantastic!
I'm not a huge cupcake fan but these look amazing (and this was a great one sentence post--aren't you loving one sentence post week?!)
Woah, they look super delicious! And shiny! :)
Tracey, those look like the perfect chocolate kisses on top! Perfect! These WERE delicious, were they not? One that I'll make again, when I have the time, for sure! I'm a big fan of "mini" cupcakes now - they're the perfect size. Perfect photos, cake and frosting - nicely done!
You did a great job of the cupcakes... I too am a member of MS cupcake club.
The frosting on top looks sinfully delicious!! Serious eye-gasm occuring!!
Very beautiful cupcakes Tracey! Wow, your icing looks amazing. I thought they were really delish! I think this cupcake group might really be fun.

Wow! These look amazing. Once again I am late - didn't have time to make these work is kicking my butt again.
Wow, yum! We (the boys and my husband) are not the biggest cake fans here, but I could totally suck that frosting right off those cupcakes! Yum! ;)
Mamma Mia!! Oh, how I wish we were neighbors. :o)
Super shiny and perfect cupcakes you have there, Missy! ;)
Love your cupcakes! Simply beautiful.
Glad you baked along with me this month . . . looking forward to your Zucchini Spice cupcakes you chose for next month! YAAAAYYY!
Those look and sound amazing! I think my husband would kill me if I joined another baking group!!
You did a wonderful job on the cupcakes and the photographs. I can't believe we have to wait another month to post the next assignment, even though it's really a good thing I'm not making cupcakes every week. ;)
That frosting is blindingly shiny! Those cupcakes look awesome.
These precious creations look like little works of art. I heart them, especially the rich frosting.
Hi there! May I know where can I get the receipe for this cupcake? It looks so delicious and tempting! :)
Hi Sher! Thanks for stopping by. I highly recommend picking up this book if you like cupcakes - it's a great one. The book is Martha Stewart's Cupcakes by Martha Stewart and is available on Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/Martha-Stewarts-Cupcakes-Inspired-Everyones/dp/0307460444/ref=pd_sim_b_1
The group has a policy of not posting the recipes on our blogs but I found it online if you'd like to give it a shot before getting the book.
