For me I really love baking for big groups of people especially friends and family which I often to try out new recipes for any occasion or gathering. I usually bake in a large quantities but make sure it is easy to make and the ingredient must be always enough and easy to find in the glossary shop.These mini cupcakes are smaller than normal cupcakes and easy to make. The recipe actually makes enough for 4 dozen mini cupcakes sometimes even more. For what you realize it only take about two or three bites and talking about 4 dozen it doesn’t feed so many people. During parties, people are coming rarely eat that much dessert if there are various types of desserts. Where everyone can eat the whole mini cupcake with no waste, meaning to say they not go back for seconds or most probably no need to provide extra. The recipe I want to share to your all is called “Mini Chocolate Cupcakes”.
