Virtual Tour de Sweet, Stop 1: Everything Fall Cupcakes by Cupcake Project

Kicking off the Tour de Sweet blog tour for my book is Stef at Cupcake Project, who was inspired by my cupcakes baked in cupcakes--and she created her own fall version, which include all of the best fall flavors in one sweet treat! Here's a sneak peek at her post; read the entire post and find her recipe here.
When perusing Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life to decide what to bake for you for on the tour stop (what would a baking book tour be without sweet treats?), my choice was clear. In her book, Jessie creates the cupcake in a cupcake - genius!! The Everything Fall Cupcake is my own take on her creation (which, by the way, is her take on the work of her friend Megan Seling from Bake It In a Cake)...
...When you bake a cupcake inside of a cupcake, you end up with a little cupcake nipple poking out of the top of the original cupcake. This is normal, and as you can see in the photo at the top of this post, once you frost the cupcakes, no one will ever know it was there.
Cupcakes inside of cupcakes open up a whole new realm of cupcake possibilities. Take any two cupcake and frosting flavors you love and you might love them even more in the same cupcake! Not only do you achieve different but complementary flavors in one bite, but you also end up with varied textures, a super moist center from the twice-baked cupcake, a typical cupcake texture from the normal-sized cupcake, and a top that has flaky crunchy bits from the mini-cupcake's frosting spreading and caramelizing.
