It’s been a while since I made a great cupcake, with the exception of the gingerbread cupcakes I made for Christmas – I made gingerbread cupcakes, frosted them with Bakerella’s buttercream (with a dash of salt added), and topped them all with a mini gingerbread man from Martha Stewart’s gingerbread cookie recipe. They tasted great. [...]
In my search for a perfect vanilla cupcake recipe, I realized I haven’t yet tried Amy Sedaris’ vanilla cupcakes. I baked up a batch before Christmas, with Bakerella’s favorite buttercream. I did like Amy Sedaris’ recipe, and would use it again for my next batch of vanilla cupcakes. However, the addition of Bakerella’s favorite buttercream [...]
Today I took six more cupcakes out of the freezer from the box cake mix that I made last week. I made the vanilla frosting from this recipe (but divided the recipe in half) and coated the frosting with sweetened shredded coconut. And of course a bright red maraschino cherry sits on top. Once again, [...]
I will start this particular post by noting that I am not of those cakers who vehemently abhor box cake mixes. While it is true that I would much rather bake a cake from scratch, I have no problem with a box cake mix. And I did have a box cake mix sitting in the [...]
My second, and final, entry into the solar system cupcake contest is one dozen Earth cupcakes. A section of our beautiful home planet is represented in cupcake form. This edible Earth is a brown sugar cupcake, filled with two layers – a layer of chocolate ganache to represent Earth’s solid rocky core and a layer [...]
I’m going to admit first thing that I do not like the taste of cranberries, so I was a bit apprehensive about creating a cupcake for this particular Iron Cupcake: Earth challenge. It didn’t deter me, however, from my first entry into the cranberry challenge (I will submitting another entry this month); my green tea [...]
I’ve really been in the mood for pumpkin ever since my pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting turned out so well. I bought a can of pumpkin at the store the last time I was there and I’ve been trying to think of what to do with it. I decided on chocolate pumpkin cupcakes [...]
My chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes are my favorite cupcakes that I’ve featured here at The Sweetest Kitchen. I didn’t really think that they could get any better. Well, I was wrong. They can get better. When I found out that Rebecca, over at Hello, Baker!, had made her version of the cookie dough [...]
I almost opted out of this month’s Iron Cupcake Earth challenge because of the bizarre ingredient. True, I could have just used cream cheese, but that wouldn’t have been quite so challenging. I wanted a cheese in both the cupcake and frosting, but I knew I didn’t want the average cream cheese… and well, I [...]
I am a member of a neighborhood women’s group that meets every month. This month’s meeting has an Autumn theme and members can bring their favorite Autumn foods. Of course, I had to bake pumpkin cupcakes! These pumpkin cupcakes are absolutely delicious, soft and moist. I am so pleased with the way they turned out. [...]
