So once again tv had me craving cupcakes! A segment on the Food Network’s “Guilty Pleasures” raved about Simona’s Bakery in New Jersey and their cupcakes (http://www.simonasbakery.com/Photo-Gallery.html). Being in Australia, I had my doubts as to where I could buy some of these to try, so I figured I’d better get in the kitchen!

I ended up making three kinds of cupcakes.

Raspberry and wite chocolate: vanilla cupcake with raspberry curd filling, white chocolate cream cheese frosting, decorated with white chocolate shavings and drizzled white chocolate.

Chocolate and salted caramel: chocolate cupcake with salted caramel filling, chocolate frosting, decorated with edible gold glitter.

Top Deck: chocolate cupcake, white chocolate cream cheese frosting, decorated with kit kat segment.

Overall i was pleased with the way these turned out. The raspberry white chocolate one tasted like a raspberry white chocolate cheesecake! Yummm!
