Bachelorette (or Lingerie Shower) Cupcakes!

This chocolate cupcake recipe is not new… this chocolate cupcake recipe is not an original… I’m posting this recipe for the sole purpose of getting something else “out there” on the internet as a cute bachelorette cupcake idea.

Am I the only one who got tired of the penis cake trend right about the time it started??

And when you do a Google image search of “Bachelorette Cupcakes,” you are met with a sea of penises and a sea of fondant cut-out bras and panties.  I don’t do fondant.  I like to actually eat my food, thank you.

So here’s a cute and different idea for you!

Get yourself a cute little Ken doll (or a WWF wrestler doll from the Dollar Tree like I did), strip him down to his skivvies, and stick him in a cake or cupcake.

Sprinkle a few crumbs around him…

Dab some frosting on his rippling biceps…

and make it look like he just popped out of the bride-to-be’s cake ready to do a strip-tease!

Classy, I know!

But in my opinion this is MUCH better than the alternatives.  Not to mention EASIER!  Anyone can do this 🙂

And if you want to make these cupcakes (they are dark chocolate espresso, YUM!) just follow this link to find my favorite chocolate cake recipe.   *Note: I like to add a heaping tablespoon of instant espresso powder to this cake for added coffee flavor, but this is totally optional.  Also, if you’re making cupcakes, you’ll need to decrease your baking time.  Start checking them with a toothpick after 18 minutes, but it could take up to 25 depending on your oven.
