It astounds me when I see all the different varieties of apples that there are in the store. My favorite for eating is usually Pink Ladies, and my least favorite is Red Delicious. For baking though, there’s usually one main choice, Granny Smith apples. These apples are what I used in my entry for Iron [...]
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. This is my first entry this month, the strawberry pie cupcake. A graham cracker base was baked into the bottom of [...]
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 [...]
As a lot of you know, I was the happy winner of December’s Iron Cupcake: Earth challenge, Chocolate With A Twist. I kept promising that I would post photos of my prizes once I got everything, and as of today, I have finally received my last prize (two months later!). So, for your viewing pleasure, [...]
This month’s Iron Cupcake: Earth challenge has been pretty hard for me. See, I love coffee and normally have two cups a day. The problem is though, that since becoming pregnant I don’t like coffee anymore! It’s really crazy. Through all my three pregnancies I have had at least one strong food aversion with each [...]
I am completely over the moon for being the winner of this month’s Iron Cupcake: Earth challenge, Chocolate With A Twist. My entry was my matcha cocoa cupcake, which was very tasty. My favorite part of my entry was the matcha Swiss meringue buttercream! Check out the official post at No One Puts Cupcake In [...]
I made this cupcake intending to enter it into December’s Iron Cupcake Earth challenge Chocolate With A Twist. Then after I made it I thought it wasn’t good enough. It tasted great, but I didn’t think it was the worthiest contender. Then as I keep looking at them sitting there in the kitchen I thought, [...]
