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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
