Delicious cupcakes are good, but delicious cupcakes that support a good cause are even better. I made these cookies to support a very important cause: Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event organized by Julie!…
Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting for Two are moist with a buttery vanilla flavor and are perfect for when you need just a little something sweet! Celebrations in general and weddings in particular call for cake. It’s just one of those unwritten laws of the universe. But sometimes just a random Tuesday calls for cupcakes too. Or maybe it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s just you and your sweetie ringing in the New Year at home....
Guinness adds a touch of nuttiness to the buttery, vanilla flavor of this Guinness Cupcakes recipe, and an easy Coffee Salted Caramel Buttercream is the perfect finishing touch! These are definitely grown-up cupcakes with a complex flavor....
Orange Chocolate Cupcakes have a soft, tender crumb and are aromatic with orange and rich with chocolate. A beautiful white chocolate drizzle on top means there’s no need for frosting! There’s no reason cupcakes have to be complicated. And there’s no need for them to have a mountain of frosting on top (although I admit, mmmm, frosting! But they can be just as good without it). If you’re looking for the perfect thing to whip up for a party or gathering, my Orange Chocolate Muffins are it. They’re a wonderful addition to a dessert table (perfect for the holidays!), and if it’s a special occasion, […]...
Paleo Eggnog Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream feature fluffy cake and creamy frosting, and are sure to please paleo and non-paleo eaters! Eggnog is one of those things that plays more of a nostalgic role for me than anything else. I love the idea of eggnog (because it always evokes happy holiday memories), but when it comes to actually downing a cup of it (even a small cup), I don’t quite love it so much. Even the best commercially-made brands of eggnog are always a little too rich and a lot too sweet for my taste, and I’ll be honest, making homemade eggnog just isn’t high […]...
These Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes are sweetly aromatic and soft-textured; from start-to-finish they’ll be ready in just an hour, and it’s perfect if you want just a small batch of something sweet. This time of year has the tendency to get so busy. With Thanksgiving over, our focus turns to Christmas and all the preparation that goes along with it. But a moment of peace, however brief, is a most welcome retreat in December. Even if it’s just taking an hour to make these cupcakes and then enjoying one with a cup of tea. I can’t think of anything more comforting than the smell of something sweet […]...
So, Chicago Mix. You sweet, salty, sultry little vixen, you. I think you might very well be the one and only trashy snack from the junk food aisle that tempts me. But you tempt me so badly I avoid that aisle like the plague....
Have I ever told you about my mom’s apple pie? It’s killer. She always makes it deep-dish style (like Chicago pizza). Sometimes she’ll make it with a double crust and sometimes she’ll make it with what she calls a “French crumble topping”, and her thick apple layer is perfectly spiced and sweetened. It is hands-down the best apple pie. In the world. (Tall claim, but I’m sticking to it…but I won’t argue if you tell me the same about your mom’s pie.)...
You can probably guess by the name that the flavor of these cupcakes was inspired by the highball cocktail Dark and Stormy (which, according to Wikipedia, is trademarked by Gosling’s Export Limited of Bermuda who make Goslings Black Seal Rum). But there are a couple of other pieces of inspiration for these cupcakes that might not be so readily apparent....
There’s something about me you need to know. I can’t do dry cake. Or gummy cake. Or bland cake. I’d rather eat celery sticks. Even if I’m dying for a chocolate fix....
