A child’s birthday is a very special event, not only for the child but also for the parents. On that special day, however many years ago, you were blessed with the birth of your child and he or she is now another year older. Maybe it seems like just last week your child was learning [...]
Unfortunately, dulce de leche isn’t available in most stores, but you can make it yourself at home quite easily with a can of sweetened condensed milk. There are many methods to do this – you can boil the can, opened or unopened for a few hours; you can use an oven; you can use a [...]
A couple of weeks ago I was leisurely browsing through Bake It Pretty, in particular the Halloween decorations. When I saw the zombie hand cupcake toppers, I knew I had to order them and make a batch of Halloween cupcakes. I have never made a Halloween cupcake before; the closest I’ve came were these pumpkin [...]

This is my third and final entry into Iron Cupcake: Earth this month. This is also my favorite entry, matcha strawberry cupcakes. I loved this cupcake! It is one of the best I’ve made in ages. The cake is a basic vanilla cake, borrowed from Billy’s Bakery, flavored with matcha, or green tea, powder. Inside [...]
This is my first ever second entry into Iron Cupcake Earth! How could a person only make one summer berry-themed cupcake? For my second entry, I made a chocolate raspberry cupcake. It is a chocolate cake made with raspberry jam, filled with raspberry whipped cream and frosted with chocolate ganache. I’m not so sure about [...]
After two months of being MIA from Iron Cupcake: Earth I’m glad to get back on schedule. When I saw this month’s ingredient, summer berries, I knew I had to come up with something.
