Some ideas are better in conception than execution. Such was the case for my first attempt at turning fruity sugary cereal into cupcakes last year, with my “All Part Of A Complete Breakfast” Cupcakes, made out of fruit loops. They tasted fine, actually, but I have to admit that mixing fruit loop crumbs into frosting produced…
Brown Butter Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting
Brown butter cupcakes with white chocolate frosting (and don’t forget the sprinkles!) will met the heart of even the most anti-Valentine’s Day person in your life. I’ve never met anyone who actually likes Valentine’s Day. That is a true fact. Everyone I’ve met (out of elementary school) doesn’t like it. Even if you’re in a…
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Eggnog Frosting
Gingerbread Cupcakes with eggnog frosting are a perfect holiday treat for anyone who doesn’t love the traditional gingerbread cookie thing. All the gingerbread flavor, none of the disappointingly crunchy cookie. We’ve made these Gingerbread Cupcakes once before, and they were amazing. But the frosting didn’t really work out how we anticipated. It was with mascarpone cheese…
Inside-Out Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes
In the last few years, fall has become so super-saturated with pumpkin that it feels like it’s impossible to do anything new with it anymore. Pumpkin coffee? Done. Pumpkin cookies? Done. Pumpkin cupcakes? Done. Pumpkin chapstick? Probably done, but probably not too tasty. But we keep wanting more…more and more and more, so much more…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Banana Filling
Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Banana Filling are a delicious triage of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana flavor. A moist chocolate cupcake is filled with a peanut butter banana custard filling, then frosted with a peanut butter buttercream. Last week, I did a presentation at my school about this blog. My school’s kinda tiny and…
Pumpkin Mocha Cupcakes
These Pumpkin Mocha Cupcakes are not to be confused with pumpkin spice latte cupcakes. We’re turning the classic PSL cupcake formula inside out. Moist chocolate cupcakes (think Devil’s Food) are filled with a pumpkin ganache, then topped with coffee buttercream. These are not Pumpkin Spice Latte cupcakes. You’ve seen a hundred of those, flooding Pinterest…
Peanut Butter Oreo Cupcakes
Peanut Butter Oreo Cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes swirled with peanut butter and frosted with an Oreo buttercream. I cannot believe that in the almost two years of us doing this blog, we only have one Oreo recipe to show for it! I guess we don’t bake with Oreo that often, but we should because they…
Almond Joy Cupcakes with Cadbury Mini Egg Nest
I’m a sentimental person. I get aggressively nostalgic for past times, and I associate them with certain music, books, movies, tastes… This spring, I’ve been extremely nostalgic for my time in London. The trigger? Sunshine and warm weather. I’m serious. Some of the best times I spent in London happened after the cloudy skies finally…
