Jordan inspired cupcakes

Here's another (glutenfree) recipe of mine based on a totally embarrassing & totally fun Twitter-convo. For those of you who don't know this, i'm a blockhead. A what? A Blockhead. A New Kids on the Block fan. Yes, they are still around. Yes, i still love them. Yes, I think Jordan Knight is the bees knees and I loved Jonathan Knight back in the day (still do actually). Anyway, that conversation started something like this:


@JKfiedJongirl @jordanknight say... if you were a cupcake what flavour would you be? 
Yes, my twittername is NKOTB inspired too. ;-)
(Yeah, truly i asked him that. I know, i was bored, i have no shame & i need a life! :))
Responses came flying, but of course not from Jordan (if he even saw it he must've hit the mute button as fast as a BH who sees a Vip ticket popping up in her computerscreen). But... thank the lord, i am not the only bored weirdo out there. I figured he'd be a double chocolate cupcake with mascarpone frosting. Yummy yet classy.
Of course the majority of my USA based followers figured he tasted like a chocolate cupcake with Nutella frosting. Seriously, what is it with those Americans and the worship of hazelnut flavoured chocolatespread? Here only kids eat that stuff as far as i know. ;)
Progressively the tweets got, how shall we say..., so embarrassing i'd better not repost all of that here? Anyway, we also figured he could be a chocolate cupcake with a peanutbutter frosting. Yeah... don't judge until you tried it!

It gave me enough inspiration to start another baking session on another boring day. It ended up as these cupcakes:


For the (glutenfree) cupcakes i simply used a glutenfree cakemix and added extra cocoa and chocolate chips for good measure and baked them as the instructions on the packet said. So just use whatever you normally use to make cupcakes or cakes. There are many options out there these days. The magic is in the frosting! :)
I let them cool and made my frostings. Here are the amounts. I decorated 4-5 cupcakes per flavour with these amounts:


Mascarpone frosting:
100 grams of mascarpone (roughly half a cup or a little less?)
100 grams of powdered sugar
a few spoonfulls of milk


Nutella frosting:
50 grams of butter
3-4 spoons of Nutella
100 grams of powdered sugar


Peanutbutter frosting:
40 grams of butter
85 grams of peanut butter
100 grams of powdered sugar
30 ml of milk

I decorated the mascarpone & peanutbutter cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles, the Nutella with smashed hazelnuts & nougatine.
All were yummy, but i still hope he'd tasted like chocolate & mascarpone. :) If you completely disagree and you think Jordan would make a totally different cupcake, please don't hesitate to share it here, i might attempt to make it! (Please enable me, ok? )
