The Martha Stewart's Cupcakes recipe this month was chosen by Karen at Karen's Cookies, Cakes, & More. I'm not going to lie - I really didn't want to make this for some reason. Maybe it was the thought of sweet potatos in a cupcake recipe, I'm not sure. Regardless, I made it. And it was wonderful. It reminded me of the pumpkin patch cupcakes I made last month. I couldn't really taste the sweet potato - they had the same fall-like taste with nutmeg and cinnamon.
I decided to bring them to Oscar Night at my church and a lot of people like them. I talked to a few people to see what they thought and they both wanted the recipe. My mother-in-law also loved them.
My only recommendation is to put the candied pecan pieces on the marshmallow pile before they get toasted. I sprinkled the candied pieces on top after I transferred the toasted mallow piles and they didn't seem to stick that well.
I definitely recommend you give this recipe a try. Thanks Karen for such a great pick!

Your cupcakes look amazing!! You were much more daring than me with the marshmallows. You are one of the few that I saw do the pecans too! I also agree that they really favored the pumpkin cupcakes from last month with the spices, etc.
ReplyDeletepretty! they turned out so well! it's funny cuz you and i had the same reaction. i really didn't want to make them either because of the sweet potato, but i ended up really liking them! lol
