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 [...]

One of the recipes from Martha Stewart’s COOKIES book that I’ve been so excited to try out is chocolate ginger brownies.  I finally got some fresh ginger so I baked up a batch of these this past week. They were really amazing – gooey and gingery!  I don’t think you could make these without the [...]

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

I’ve been trying to find a good chocolate chocolate chip muffin recipe but haven’t found many recipes I’d like to try.  I came across this one recently, however, and decided to try it.  It comes from My Household Capers. I didn’t use any white chocolate chips, just semisweet chocolate chips.  I thought it was quite [...]

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I’ve been in pancake-craving mode lately.  Not wanting an instant pancake mix, I’ve been waiting to find just the right made-from-scratch recipe.  I found one recently for chocolate chip pancakes that looked perfect and tried it out over the weekend. They were great!  They turned out light and fluffy and I loved the melty mini [...]

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 [...]

Yellow Cupcakes With Chocolate Buttercream

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’ve been wanting to make these for quite a while now; they kept tempting me every time I opened Martha Stewart’s COOKIES book!  Finally this past week I made a batch of them, and the whole family loved them. They’re barely even two-bite size and so cute!  You can find the recipe here on Martha [...]

S’mores Cupcakes

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 [...]

Strawberries & Chocolate

Just one month ago, my mother-in-law, who lives in Australia, surprised us with an Easter cookie bouquet; she surprised us again yesterday by sending me a Mother’s Day gift – two boxes full of huge fresh strawberries and two jars of fudge dipping sauce! They were packaged nicely from Cherry Moon Farms.  In each box [...]
