I went to a candy tasting party at Blickenstaff’s a few weeks ago and I was literally BLOWN AWAY with all the amazing candy they had. Old, new, vintage, and all delish. One thing that Handsome and I particularly loved were these Sour Nerds. Needless to say, we were all on a sugar buzz, but these little sours kept coming back to us and we thought,

“What if we made a sour nerd cupcake?”

Would it be weird?
Would it be good?
Would the crunchy texture of the “nerd” hold inside the cake?

So many questions. The only way to find out was to give it a try….

Handsome loved these Sour Nerd Cupcakes – I would eat them, but they’re not my most favorite thing ever. The colors are too fun though – it reminds me of the boxed “Funfetti” cakes – but a step up.

The frosting is a “stabilized” whipping cream that I found on Pinterest from The Food Pusher (she has some really great frosting ideas!). I wanted something sweet to counter the sour, but also light. Plus, it holds its shape. Win-win.

And because I always wanted to make a mess – I had to take one of these shots. I’ve got some room for improvement, but for my first intentional “spill?” Very fun.
