Hostess Cupcakes.

President's Day was a weekend of celebration. The excitement surrounding family time in our new Colorado house, Valentine's Day and my upcoming birthday called for one thing: cupcakes. There is nothing better than early morning baking (thank you jet-lag) with my mom and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee while the house fills with the sweet smell of dark chocolate. I must admit, I was never a huge fan of these packaged Hostess treats, however this homemade version won me over. This recipe, while there are multiple steps, is easy to make and definitely worth the time. The cupcakes turned out perfectly--despite our high altitude concerns--and everyone seemed to enjoy! Who wouldn't love a decadent chocolate cupcake filled with marshmallow fluff, dipped in ganache and finished off with the signature vanilla swirl?
