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 [...]
As if you didn’t already know, today is World Nutella Day. I suggest you start celebrating and eat some Nutella! We have! That is my 3 1/2-year-old daughter enjoying this once-in-a-blue-moon treat straight from the jar. I also want to point everyone in the direction of my Nutella recipes here at The Sweetest Kitchen; namely [...]
Right before I uploaded a photo of the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes that I made today, I noticed that How To Eat A Cupcake posted about her chocolate chip cookie doughs that she recently made – talk about a coincidence! Mine are slightly different that her cupcakes, however. I used a very chocolatey cupcake [...]
To be honest, I haven’t really been craving sweet stuff lately. This is another reason that posting here has been slow over the past month. I found out on Christmas morning that I’m pregnant with our third child; I had the first ultrasound this past Thursday and I am currently 9 weeks along. The due [...]
