If you’re a follower of The Sweetest Kitchen you’ll know that I have a slight obsession with Nutella. My latest Nutella creation is Nutella-coffee frosting. I was hoping this would turn out as nice as it sounded and I am pleased to say that it did! I originally added two teaspoons of instant coffee, but after [...]
I made five cupcakes today, just five. I wanted to try something I had read about somewhere (cannot find where now) about coloring your own sugar to make sanding sugar. It only involved ordinary sugar and food coloring. For my own test, I used about 3 teaspoons of sugar, put it in a Ziploc bag [...]
I hadn’t ever planned on making cookies and cream cupcakes, but when I found myself confronted with a full package of Oreos I couldn’t help it. Actually, I don’t care much for cookies and cream anything, but thought I’d try out cupcakes with both vanilla cupcakes… and chocolate cupcakes… I liked the chocolate one the [...]
I have finally completed my entry for Iron Cupcake Earth’s challenge of chili pepper. I made two variations of my entry and chose the one I liked best. My entry is a chocolate cupcake, filled with chili chocolate ganache, topped with a layer of chili chocolate ganache, frosted with peanut butter frosting and sprinkled with [...]
I was inspired to make these cupcakes from a post at My Sweet Cupcakes. The temptation of chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting was too strong! I made these cupcakes for my husband to take to his office at work to share, and I only got to keep four of them for myself. They are really [...]
The cupcakes that I had originally planned for this week had to be put on hold because my daughter spilled a nearly full bottle of vanilla extract, so I couldn’t make any cupcakes with vanilla. So I decided to go with mint chocolate cupcakes instead since the recipe called for mint extract instead of vanilla. [...]
I had never heard of red velvet cake (RVC) until a few months ago (I must have been living under a rock!) and at first I thought it was a bit tacky. I also didn’t like the idea of all that food coloring being added (although I understand that RVC can also be colored with [...]
I couldn’t resist – I had the ingredients to make the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes again, except this time using chocolate cupcakes and chocolate buttercream frosting. I was too lazy to make the raw cookie dough to mix in with the frosting so I just sprinkled the frosting with mini chocolate chips. The result? [...]
A friend of mine recently had a baby girl and a group of friends got together to bring the new mom meals and treats in these first few weeks. Of course I volunteered to bring cupcakes! I used Magnolia Bakery’s vanilla cupcake recipe and the following vanilla frosting recipe… Vanilla Buttercream makes enough to frost [...]
My inspiration for my chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes came from How To Eat A Cupcake. I love chocolate chip cookie dough and had never heard of this type of cupcake, so when I saw this recipe I just had to make it for myself! I didn’t follow the same recipe as How To Eat [...]
