I have been baking today, simply because I needed something sweet and sugary. I ended up with a batch of light chocolate cupcakes with a white meringue frosting on top. It is a really good flavour combination those two.
If you are looking for a 100% white frosting, the white meringue frosting is a really good choice. The white meringue frosting holds up really well too. I had a couple of left overs and after a couple of hours they still looked nice. The only thing is that the frosting will crust over time, but it still taste good.
To dress them up, I used some bright and colorful sprinkles to give the final touch. Simple and classic! The reason why I call them light chocolate cupcakes is because they have a light chocolate (cocoa) flavour and my kids loves them.
I love this close up photo of this confetti cupcake Mmmmm.
Are you new to CakeJournal? then you can read more about cupcake decoration, tips and tricks in the tutorial section Look under Cupcakes. For those of you who would like to know what tip I have used for the swirls. I can tell that it is a plain star tip with an 11mm opening.
If you would like to make the cupcakes and the frosting then here are links to the recipes:

(First comment ever) The second I saw these I had to make them even though it was past midnight!! I am not a chocolate cupcake fan and I’ve never had luck with meringue frosting BUT this was, by far, the most incredible tasting cupcake and frosting I have ever baked! The cupcake baked perfectly and the frosting whipped up nicely. I got rave reviews from the few people that tried them! Thank you for your blog and your recipes and thank you for being an inspiration to get in the kitchen and make something yummy!

dina: I have added it in the post what tip I have used, but I’ll write it here to. Its an 11mm star tip. I think that you can find one similar from Ateco or Wilton.
Tracy: I have used caster sugar, not powdered or icing.
Elizabeth & Tami: I have made a note about putting together a post about my photos. But it will not be before we are closer to spring and theres more light outside.
Elny: I think that you can keep them for 1 day, not more.
