Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, Revisited

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

My chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes are my favorite cupcakes that I’ve featured here at The Sweetest Kitchen. I didn’t really think that they could get any better. Well, I was wrong. They can get better. When I found out that Rebecca, over at Hello, Baker!, had made her version of the cookie dough [...]

Iron Cupcake Earth: Cheese

Iron Cupcake Earth: Cheese

I almost opted out of this month’s Iron Cupcake Earth challenge because of the bizarre ingredient. True, I could have just used cream cheese, but that wouldn’t have been quite so challenging. I wanted a cheese in both the cupcake and frosting, but I knew I didn’t want the average cream cheese… and well, I [...]

Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

I am a member of a neighborhood women’s group that meets every month. This month’s meeting has an Autumn theme and members can bring their favorite Autumn foods. Of course, I had to bake pumpkin cupcakes! These pumpkin cupcakes are absolutely delicious, soft and moist. I am so pleased with the way they turned out. [...]

Chocolate Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Filling

Chocolate Cupcakes

How To Eat A Cupcake often inspires me. In her recent post about making Martha Stewart’s one-bowl chocolate cupcakes, she raved about how “INSANELY good” they are; with this sort of review, I just couldn’t resist trying these one-bowl chocolate cupcakes for myself. Now, remember that I had leftover cream cheese filling from those banana [...]

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes

When I first heard of a chocolate cupcake made with mayonnaise, I was intrigued and had to try it out. Today was the perfect opportunity since I had no butter on hand, and there is no butter in these cupcakes. I got the recipe for the cupcakes from 52 Cupcakes. I’m only posting a cross [...]

Iron Cupcake Earth: Basil

Iron Cupcake Earth: Basil

I wasn’t fully prepared for this month’s Iron Cupcake Earth challenge. I also couldn’t give it my total concentration because a variety of personal/family things have needed top priority this month. I did try to make a white chocolate cupcake, filled with basil cream and frosted with strawberry meringue buttercream earlier this month, but that [...]

First Cupcakes Made With The Kitchenaid

Chocolate Cupcakes

Today I made my first cupcakes with the Kitchenaid mixer that I got earlier this week. I made a mistake with the first batch, the chocolate ones, by not mixing it enough. I realized this after they were done baking. I did better with the vanilla ones. I have to say that the Kitchenaid does [...]

Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper Cupcakes

Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper Cupcakes

These cupcakes were a total spur of the moment decision. I had a bottle of Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper and I remembered having seen this recipe recently. I’m not sure if Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper or just plain Dr. Pepper is supposed to be used in this recipe, but I used the chocolate [...]

Nutella-Coffee Frosting

If you’re a follower of The Sweetest Kitchen you’ll know that I have a slight obsession with Nutella. My latest Nutella creation is Nutella-coffee frosting. I was hoping this would turn out as nice as it sounded and I am pleased to say that it did! I originally added two teaspoons of instant coffee, but after [...]

Plain Old Vanilla

Plain Old Vanilla

I made five cupcakes today, just five. I wanted to try something I had read about somewhere (cannot find where now) about coloring your own sugar to make sanding sugar. It only involved ordinary sugar and food coloring. For my own test, I used about 3 teaspoons of sugar, put it in a Ziploc bag [...]
