Eek, it looks so perfect girlie! I LOVE the sweet, nutty flavor almond extract lends to cakes and frostings. I can only imagine how decadent this cupcake is! And I super heart the Hershey Kiss adornment, of course 🙂

Stephanie can I just say that your photography is gorgeous? Each new post, I am blown away! I am especially in love with the third photo down – the cupcake on it’s side showing just the frosting – gorgeous! And your frosting piping job is perfection, too!! 🙂
Stephanie says
Thank you so much, Sally! That’s a great compliment coming from you 🙂 my hubby got me a new lens for my birthday and these cupcakes were the first things I shot!
Don’t look too close at some upcoming posts…I have SO many from last year that I never shared and I like to think my photog skills have improved since then. 😉

Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
I love, love, LOVE adding almond extract to pretty much everything. I bet these tasted awesome and smelled good too! That frosting is to die for!
Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen says
I really like that there are no nuts in these cupcakes. Sometimes the extract is all you need. And I am not a fan of super sweet frosting either but super chocolatey frosting? Now, I am all over that!! 🙂
Terry says
These sound great and I think Kiss Me Cupcakes would be a good name for these.
