Savory Pepperoni-Topped Cakes

These Pizza Cupcakes Are a Fun Alternative to a Boring Slice

— April 18, 2012 — Lifestyle
Skip your usual greasy pie and reach for these cute and contained Pizza Cupcakes instead. Yes, even good old pizza is getting the cupcake treatment, thanks to blogger Kirbie of 'Kirbie's Cravings.' The perfect cheesy treats for any game day, or a children's birthday party, these pepperoni-stuffed stunners will make you melt.

Kirbie started out with her favorite pizza dough recipe to whip up these intriguing bites. She folded cheese and pepperoni into the batter and baked the concoction in a series of cupcake liners. When she pulled them out of the oven she was less than pleased with their appearance, but as with any cupcake (or pizza for that matter) toppings are an important part of the indulgence. Kirbie topped her baked creations with some extra cheese and a smattering of darling mini pepperoni slices. The result is an intoxicating visual that will have you drooling shamelessly.

Cute, clever and cheesy, these Pizza Cupcakes will win you over with their darling appearance and astounding taste.
