I suggest that you try these Amazing German Chocolate Cupcakes. They are scrumptious. They are not as messy as the normal German Chocolate Cake is either. While my husband is not too fond of German Chocolate cakes, he loves these cupcakes. I really like these as well. They are so moist and instead of the coconut and pecan mixture on the whole cupcake, it is in the center of the icing. That is what makes this cupcake less messy to eat.
Who cares right? As long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter if its messy does it?
Don’t you think these cupcakes look amazing?
These cupcakes are pretty simple to make. If you like German Chocolate Cake, then you will like these Amazing German Chocolate Cupcakes as well. I am making these for the local school bake sale that they are having coming up. I always attend with the kids and we have a great time. We play games and go to each classroom, where they have different sales and games going on. It is such a great time of year.
I enjoy supporting my daughter’s school. This is a great way to give back for all that they do. It helps with activities so that the kids can participate and goes right back into the school.
