I love pequin and tepin peppers (which are way cheaper in the barrio grocery) so I must try these. Yum. Thanks.

These sound wonderful! I wish I had these for the class I taught - “Hot Cupcakes for Cold Nights” They would have devoured them. Thanks for yet another awesome cupcake! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day with your family.

Oh, I have been waiting for this one ever since I saw the pictures on Flickr. How lovely! Love the red-hot topping ;-) and what a lovely kitchen. Mine is about… 1/8th the size! :-)

I love chocolate and chili’s together. Your frosting sounds wonderful!

I am always inspired by your posts! I have a question though, your basic cream cheese frosting looks very thick in most recipes. I made it last night and it wasn’t runny, but it also was not thick. It was more goopy and sticky than anything. Is there a way to thicken it up? I used 12 oz. of low-fat cc, the butter, sugar, and vanilla.

Thanks!!

i am very extremely envious of your kitchen.

these cupcakes are adorable. i love spicy chocolate and usually do it in brownie or hot chocolate form, but the chili-chocolate ganache is too much to resist.

these cupcakes are delicious! thank you for the recipe! everyone loved them; they had an almost intoxicating effect, something magical. interestingly, i accidently used bittersweet (valhrone 61% for both the cake and the ganache, but they turned out fine). can’t wait to repeat with 100% pure cocoa and pequins (which didn’t arrive on time) instead of arbols. nevertheless, everything was fantastic…consistency, texture, tones, taste…just perfect. thanks again, i’ll be back for more.

I just finished baking a batch of these, and they taste great — but they all fell when I took them out of the oven. What did I do wrong/

They’re all concave…:(

Hi Cheryl, do you why the cupcake papers pulled away from the cupcake like shown in the pictures? It happened to me before. (different recipes) Appreciate your expertise.

Many reasons that I can see… These shrunk because I didn’t make them enough. That happens if you take them out of the oven too soon. Some recipes just do that though. I find the lighter ones tend to collapse a little on themselves while the dense recipes don’t…
