I’ve been wanting to make ice cream cupcakes for a while now. There are so many different combinations of ice cream, cake and frosting that one could use that is was difficult to make up my mind! I’ve decided to go with coffee ice cream, chocolate cake and marshmallow whipped cream frosting. I may try [...]
I do not like to use shortening in my recipes, but I had some leftover from a pie crust I had made recently and didn’t want it to go to waste. I used it in a recipe from a KitchenAid stand mixer instruction manual, which was for a quick yellow cake. I changed the recipe [...]
I made these cupcakes on impulse! Only one day after I made the s’mores cupcakes! The first reason I made these cupcakes was because I wanted to use the rest of the cream cheese leftover from my mint Oreo truffles. The second reason I made these cupcakes was because we had a bag of fresh [...]
It’s almost s’mores season! Of course, I wouldn’t restrict s’mores to any particular season, as they are enjoyed all year long, but it is about time to uncover the barbecues, start up some camp fires and enjoy summertime foods. I got myself in the s’mores spirit by microwaving myself one! It has been years, at [...]
I haven’t had unsalted butter in my refrigerator for two weeks now, which is why posts have been slow here. Everything I want to bake requires unsalted butter! People have given me suggestions – like baking something vegan, but it seems that vegan recipes always have another ingredient (or three) that I don’t have or [...]
When voting for the Iron Cupcake: Earth ingredient for April, I voted for herbs & spices! I wasn’t very interested in a cupcake made from soda pop. But since I didn’t enter last month’s competition, I decided I could come up with something for this month. I chose to do something with the new Cherry [...]
It’s a bit early for Easter, but I couldn’t resist making these nesting baby bluebird cupcakes from Martha Stewart – instructions here. Mine are nowhere near as cute as Martha’s – they are very easy to make, but the hardest part for me was piping those tiny beaks. I don’t have a small leaf tip, [...]
I had a very ripe avocado that I’ve had stored in the refrigerator for the past couple of days and was thinking of something to do with it. I really love avocados, so I thought I’d see if I could find a recipe for avocado cupcakes. Then I found the chocolate avocado cupcake recipe. Very [...]
A couple of months ago a friend asked me if I’d like to bake two dozen cupcakes for a baby shower she was hosting for a friend of her’s. Of course I said that I would, and that day was today. She requested one dozen vanilla cupcakes and one dozen strawberry cupcakes, and for both [...]
The first cupcakes I decided to try from February 2009′s issue of Martha Stewart Living were the banana cupcakes with caramel buttercream. And they are really yummy! The cupcakes: they ended up more muffin-like in texture than I expected; they are soft and moist; they did not rise much while baking; they have an extreme [...]
