At the end of this post, feel free to cast your vote as to whether you would try a dark chocolate bacon cupcake! You either love it or you hate it – the dark chocolate bacon cupcake.  When I first heard about this cupcake over at No One Puts Cupcake In A Corner I was [...]

Lemon Chocolate Cupcakes

I was this close to entering July’s Iron Cupcake: Earth herb challenge, but couldn’t find the herbs I wanted – I wanted them fresh.  But I decided to go ahead and try the cupcake I wanted to make, but without the herbs, just for fun.  It ended up being one of my favorite cupcakes that [...]

Faux Hostess Cupcakes

On a recent visit to My Baking Addiction I saw a faux Hostess cupcake.  Like Jamie, I keep seeing these cupcakes over and over again and have tried to keep from baking them myself.  I thought that there were way too many out there already, and they looked just a little time-consuming.  But Jamie’s version [...]

Butterfly Cupcakes

My daughter’s fourth birthday was yesterday and I decided to try my hand at making the butterfly cupcakes from the book Hello, Cupcake.  But I got my inspiration from Annie’s Eats’ rainbow butterfly cupcakes, which are absolutely stunningly gorgeous. My daughter’s favorite color is green, so she insisted on green butterflies.  I made the butterflies [...]

This is going to be a 2-in-1 cupcake post!  I was going to post a recipe for mixed berry tea, but quite a few people have expressed interest in both of these cupcakes, so I decided I’d go ahead and post the recipes for them instead. The first cupcakes I’d like to absolutely rave about [...]

Independence Day Cupcakes

We had a fun Independence Day weekend; not only was it Independence Day, it was also my son’s second birthday and our friend’s baby’s first birthday party.  Unfortunately, the entire morning, noon and night of July 4th was rained out.  It literally rained constantly the entire day!  There were some brave people who ventured out [...]

Matcha Strawberry Cupcakes

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 [...]

The Sweetest Kitchen’s Ice Cream Cupcakes

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 [...]

Carrot Cake Cupcakes With Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

dscn6391

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 [...]
