USING BEER IN CUPCAKES

THE STOUT CUPCAKE  TESTING PROCESS

The beer that we liked the best ended up being a pumpkin stout by Crown Valley Brewing.  It just worked great with the cupcakes. The  flavor was decadent.

Once we narrowed down the stout, we then decided that it paired the best with the chocolate base cupcake.
