Introducing Mr Mustard’s new companion Mrs Mustard!


To celebrate her arrival I have Mrs Mustard Chocolate Cupcakes with my new favorite Cotton Candy Buttercream ❤️   I stirred the mustard into the soured whipping cream... I think the addition of mustard to the recipe made a super moist cupcake also bringing out a more chocolate flavor.  The cupcakes are addicting as in I could eat a dozen myself!!


Thank goodness I left some of these with Billy and Amanda today that way there is a dozen less that I will be tempted to eat.  Bill and I went to visit after church ... we are so blessed and in love with our new grandson!!




In my recipe I used Godiva Chocolate Caramel instant pudding but you can always use your favorite chocolate instant pudding instead. 

Another tip is to add the lemon juice to the whipping cream and let it sit a few minutes to allow the whipping cream to sour. It becomes a little thicker but not as thick as sour cream. After a few minutes stir Mrs Mustard into the thickened whipping cream. 

This is the first recipe I have used my Caramel Vanilla Extract however you may also use vanilla extract in it's place.  


I also plan on trying Mrs Mustard in my award winning Molasses Mustard Cookies with Caramel Mustard Icing


Before I started creating my cupcake recipe, Bill and I were dipping pretzels right in the jar... oh my goodness we were immediately in LOVE. I can’t wait to have Mrs Mustard on everything we grill this summer!  I am not kidding when I say this is the best spicy honey mustard ever.
