Right. These are for the people who think brownies are the best dessert – and cupcakes are just a vehicle for more brownie.
A brownie cupcake is exactly what it sounds like: a rich, fudgy, dark chocolate brownie, baked in a cupcake case, then topped with a swirl of chocolate buttercream and a sprinkle of sea salt or chocolate chips. It’s not a cupcake pretending to be a brownie. It’s a proper brownie – crackly top, gooey centre, deep chocolate flavour – but in a neat, hand‑held size. No forks required.
Someone asked me a while back: “can you make brownies that look like cupcakes? My kids love the edge pieces with the crispy top. We’re in Downham.”
I said yeah, course. I made a batch of my fudgiest brownie batter, scooped it into cupcake cases, baked them until the tops were crackly and the centres were still soft, then topped them with a swirl of chocolate ganache and a sprinkle of sea salt. They didn’t last the afternoon. That’s a win.
So here it is: Brownie Cupcakes – available for delivery and collection across Bromley, Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford & Bellingham.
They come in boxes of 6 or 12. Perfect for a birthday, office treat, kids party, bake sale, afternoon tea, or any time you want a brownie but also want it to look a little bit fancy.
What’s in them?
The brownie base – rich, dark chocolate, made with melted butter, dark chocolate, sugar, eggs, and a touch of vanilla. No baking powder – these are dense, fudgy, and have that iconic crackly top. I fold in dark chocolate chunks for extra gooeyness.
The topping – a swirl of dark chocolate ganache (just chocolate and cream) or a chocolate buttercream – you choose. Ganache is glossier, buttercream is fluffier.
The extras – a sprinkle of sea salt flakes (to bring out the chocolate), a few mini chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder. You can also add crushed walnuts or hazelnuts – just tell me.
The look – a dark, crackly brownie top peeking out under a glossy chocolate swirl, with a few salt flakes glistening. They’re rustic, decadent, and very, very chocolatey.
They’re not light. They’re not fluffy. They’re dense, fudgy, and exactly what a brownie should be – just in a cupcake case.
Who buys these?
Chocolate lover’s birthday – for anyone who says “cake is okay, but brownies are better.”
Office treat – a rich, satisfying afternoon pick‑me‑up.
Kids party cupcakes – they love the fudgy texture and chocolate chunks.
Bake sale – these will sell out first.
Afternoon tea – a decadent twist on the classic cupcake.
Just because – you want a brownie, but you also want to feel like you’re eating a cupcake.
Honestly? Anyone who’s ever fought over the corner brownie with the crispy edge.
Can I get a different type of brownie?
Yes. I can make blondie brownies (white chocolate and vanilla), or add a swirl of peanut butter or raspberry jam. Just tell me.
Can I add a message on the box?
I can attach a little tag – “Happy Birthday”, “Brownie Love”, “Indulge” – just tell me.
How much notice?
A few days is fine. Order online or message me – I’ll be honest.
Collection or delivery?
Collect from our Bromley shop or get local delivery to Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford, Bellingham – all within easy reach.
One thing to mention…
These brownie cupcakes are dense and rich – one is enough for most people (but you’ll probably want two). They stay fudgy for 3‑4 days in an airtight container. The sea salt is optional – if you don’t like salted chocolate, I can leave it off.
Right. That’s the Brownie Cupcakes done.
For the people who believe that brownies are a food group. And that a brownie in a cupcake case is the best kind of upgrade – delivered right to your door in Bromley, Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford, or Bellingham.
