Stick with your New Year’s resolution and have a cupcake! Delicious, easy and makes just two!

I always find this post to be a tough one. Why, you ask?

Well, because this is the time of year when everyone is getting healthy and cutting back on sweets.  Honestly, I don’t.  OK, let me explain..I do eat much less than what I do over the holidays.  But, I don’t really diet.  I’ve tried.  The strict discipline that is needed seems to vanish about a day or so after the diet starts.

I try and be conscience of what I eat and practice portion control. Instead of eating five cookies, eat one. Sounds kinda like a simple idea, but, believe me, it can be a little work.  Especially, when you take picture of food for a living. 😉

So, instead of starting the new year with a healthy recipe, we are having cupcakes today!

The twist is..we are only making two.  

These cupcakes are really simple and quite delicious.  They are perfect when you have a hankering for cupcakes, but, don’t want to make a whole dozen or so.  Portion control at its best.

My two cupcakes were frosted with a simple chocolate buttercream frosting, however, you can dress them up or down as you wish.  Having just two makes decorating them easy.

🎉Happy 2018! 🎉

Enjoy a cupcake-
