After my first disastrous attempt at chocolate cupcakes (the Hummingbird cookbook let me down -they came out a bit lumpy and the frosting went very lumpy) I decided to try Hannah's Rolo chocolate cupcakes and they worked out a treat. You can get the recipe here - I didn't use the frosting as I wanted to have a chocolate overload with them, so gave the Hummingbird chocolate frosting another go and thankfully this time it came out absolutely gorgeous! I'm not usually a fan of chocolate cupcakes but even I managed a couple of these!

I shall be making another batch tomorrow to give out at the punk rock bingo, so fingers crossed they turn out as tasty!

I'm completely chuffed and delighted to have received the Arte y Pico award (my first award in fact), which originated in Uruguay and is given for creativity and design, thanks to the lovely Hannah of Hannah's Country Kitchen and my favourite foodies show Masterchef!!!

Here are the rules that accompany the award;

1. Choose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and their contribution to the blogging community.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog.

3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name of and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award.

4. The award winner and the one who has given the prize has to show the link of Arte Y Pico blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5. Show these rules.

I am going to think about who I award the Arte Y Pico to as I'm such a blog addict I need to narrow it down to five!

By the way go and check out Hannah's blog - I really MUST get round to making the Last Rolo cupcakes which I've been drooling over since February 13th!!
