Black Bottom Cupcakes from Hummingbird Bakery

So, this isn't going to be much of a post... I am becoming a bit slack on keeping track when I bake stuff! My friend Viv had her birthday on Friday (the day after Louise's... February is a busy birthday month!) For our coffee afternoon (morning was busy for all of us) I made her Black Bottom Cupcakes from the self titled Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook. I choose them as she asked for chocolate and because they have been on my list ever since I had one at their Soho branch nearly 1 1/2 years ago!

So, here is where I am failing. I took one ... yeah that's right ... one picture!! Here it is:

It's a great picture. lol.

I choose to leave the frosting off because I thought it might be too much. That and it had to travel from my house to another. I don't have a fancy cupcake carrier like I've seen in the stores/shops. So, they go in tins and sometimes the frosting goes everywhere!! All the ladies enjoyed them so I would say they were a hit!!

notes: My first visit to Hummingbird Bakery - recipe is from the hummingbird cookbook.
