Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes

This weekend has been a lovely relaxing five-day weekend for me after a hectic week of exams. Had a fantastic weekend away to my grandparents lake house at the gorgeous Lake Rotoiti and got back yesterday afternoon. Today was so lovely and warm here--where did winter go? No complaints from me though! So, I had a great ride on my sweet Remy this morning, followed by an afternoon of cupcake baking! Could it get any better?

So after doing some research last night, I took inspiration from my previous salted caramel cake and the 'Fleur de Sel' cupcake at Kara's Cupcakes in California to come up with this one.

It is a chocolate cake with salted caramel filling, vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream and salted caramel drizzle with fleur de sel sprinkled on top.
