Instructables user roboticpink, has managed to create a super-unique twist on the conventional cupcake with her Sausage and Mash cupcakes.
Creator roboticpink has said of the inspiration behind the recipe that, "Ever wanted to eat cupcakes for dinner, but felt too grown up for that much sugar?" For myself, not particularly; but if you have, then this recipe is for you. The combination of the meat, mashed potato 'icing' and peas as sprinkles are sure to get you longing for dinner. With wine-carmelized onions for filling, this interesting twist on the otherwise sweet treat is too intriguing to resist.
The Sausage and Mash cupcakes are a great idea for hors d'œuvres at your next party.
