Coca-Cola Cupcakes

You can see that I got impatient and iced them before it cooled down!

 

Coca-cola...Cupcakes? Weird I know. Gave it a shot. Not too bad! Considering I'm a die-hard chocolate fan, nothing but chocolate is really going to hit the mark for me. I was too impatient to wait for the icing to cool enough, so you can see how it's flattened out. I used rainbow dust, Hologram White, but I should really get my hands on a red one. You can't let me loose in Trends though, I lose it a bit amongst all the cupcake decorations! The mixture was REALLY runny, so I debated adding some extra flour. I cooked one first to see how it turned out. So it's actually fine really runny. It also made 24 cupcakes...And the icing didn't quite cover that. I think I have about 5 uniced. So just add a little extra to the frosting ingredients. Another quarter should do it.
