I was shamefully addicted to Hostess Cupcakes growing up. After school, I’d buy them at this sketchy corner store. As an adult, I decided to make my own! They took a lot of work, but they’re my favorite cupcakes to make from scratch. I made them using a chocolate sponge infused with coffee. The cream filling is Swiss meringue buttercream. Topped with chocolate ganache and decorated with more Swiss meringue buttercream.
