Cupcake Wars: Victoria Sandwich vs Espresso

Salam Alaykum,

 

Here is a light hearted battle of my most recent homemade cupcakes, both were delicious but only one will come out on top, who will it be?

 

Victoria Sandwich Cupcakes - straight from oven

 

Victoria Sandwich Cupcakes - complete (sort of)

Victoria Sanwich Cupcakes - now complete with a dusting of icing sugar but who can spot the odd one out? 

 

VS.

Espresso Cupcakes straight from oven

 

filled with whipped cream, but wait it gets better

 

Chocolate, melted and drizzled over oh and a dusting of icing sugar that was not at all necessary

 

and the winner is:

 

Espresso!

 

I just had to make these delights again but this time they were a stronger espresso flavour which went down a storm with dh, al hamdu lillah

(excuse the lighting, i took this photo at night compared to the rest which were in the morning/early afternoon)
