If I searched,
This whole wide world,
I'd never never never, find me a girl,
Who'd love me, The way that you do.
Cause You're my Shama Lama, Rama Rama Rama Ding Dong 
Baby, you put the ooh mou mou oh oh oh oh,
That is why,
That is why,

So Hit It: Here are Dorie's Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes but twisted up a bit. I used a rounded 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, added a teaspoon of instant coffee and changed out the buttermilk for sour cream. And The Filling. Oh the filling! The filling is the Hostess Ding Dong pure sugary bliss filling found here. I also used Nutella in some of them (Nutella! Where have you been all my life??? But that's another post.)

I love how you combine baking and music. I'm still humming Paul Simon's Call Me Al because of you. Now I'm gonna have this little ditty bopping through my head.
ReplyDeleteShama lama you're right especially with tha filling ding dong.
ReplyDeleteAll that lovely filling inside.
ReplyDeleteYours look great!
Love the song:) The cupcakes turned out great. I love all of the photos too!!
ReplyDeleteCute song and post. Your cuppies look SO delicious with that cream filling. After I write this, I'm clicking on that link for the recipe for that filling. I thought the cupcakes were kind of dry (as many did), but with that filling, I'll be they were de-lish!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love Nutella!
Dang it! Now I have that song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone filled their cupcakes the way you did, there would be peace everywhere. I am definitely copying that filling down!
omg! Now you've gone and done it. I will have that song stuck in my head all day! Darn you! HAHA. The ding dong filling and nutella sound awesome! Thanks for baking with me this week!
ReplyDeleteClara @ iheartfood4thought
I have no idea what a ding-dong is... but the cupcakes sure tasted great with the vanilla-cream filling!!
ReplyDeleteAh, a ding dong...how fantastic are those?? Yum! I can imagine yours are even better.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I leave this comment, I am going to go try to figure out that tune. I bet I'm gonna like it! What is better than a homemade hostess cupcake? My grandmother sometimes had ding dongs in the freezer for us -- that's what you know that someone loves you, I tell ya. Your filling looks amazing! And I think the sour cream swap was a great call. What can I say? Your cupcakes look perfect in every way.
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa! A huge congrats to you and making these with your own twist. Bravo my dear!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! Love these cupcakes! So cute and what a clever post. Glad you discovered Nutella - the 9th wonder of the culinary world.
ReplyDeleteI meant to stop by yesterday and couldn't get to everyone! I love your video and I LOVE your kitchen! Your cupcakes are amazing.
ReplyDeleteoh my God, you made Ding Dongs?!! Brilliant! I love that I found your blog this week-it's awesome! (of course, with a name like "Lisa"--I guess I was bound to like it!)
ReplyDeleteGREAT job on the dough tossing, by the way!
Adorable post! I was singing as I was reading!! They look divine!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yummmm. Your cupcakes are stylish and look tasty with all that lovely filling:)
ReplyDeleteLisa.. these are dreamy... at first I thought you used Macarpone but it got even more dreamer as I read more...
ReplyDeleteNutella is a love affair of mine.. OH>>> My... the pictures are fabulous, the writing is spot on!!
