Sweet Sausage Desserts

The Cupcake Project 'Cupcakewurst' is Deceivingly Delicious

There are some deliciously grotesque desserts lurking in cyberspace, and the Cupcake Project 'Cupcakewurst' is certainly imaginative and resourceful. These chocolate cupcake hotdogs are a meaty take on the classic baked treat.

Using edible sausage casings and a pastry bag, the process of stuffing these franks is similar to its meaty counterpart. The delectable creations can be popped into the oven or cooked straight on the grill for a crispy charred finish. Every good bratwurst needs a cozy bun to sit in between. For this sweet take on a savory meal, consider using oblong donuts or brioche slices to sandwich the tasty bite. Finish things off with a drizzle of fruity jam icing or candy-coated condiments. Even the men in your life will not be able to refuse these daring delights.

If you are looking for something out-of-the-box to serve up, consider the Cupcake Project Cupcakewurst.
