Baileys & Coffee Cupcakes

Baileys & Coffee Cupcakes

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 in Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Holidays

Espresso-spiked cake makes for a very unique flavor. I’d never tasted a cupcake like it, but I loved it. The cake isn’t too sweet, in a good way. The light-as-a-cloud topper of Baileys-laden whipped cream is the perfect companion; sprinkle some instant espresso on top, and you’re good to go.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes

The cupcake is reminiscent of a Toll House Cookie bar, but, you know, in cupcake form. Ooey, chewy, gooey, chocolate chippy goodness. And the buttercream … oh my. Lots of brown sugar, a hit of vanilla, a pinch of salt to take it over the top.

Cookies and cream, in a cupcake. Delicious, chewy chocolate brownie cupcakes topped with cookies-and-cream buttercream, topped with a mini Oreo and, the pièce de résistance, an Oreo is baked right into the middle of the cupcake!

My idea, of course – I’m dorky like that. Not cupcakes made with turkey, mind you. Chocolate cupcakes frosted and decorated to look like turkeys. [...]

Trophy Cupcakes + Martha Stewart Cupcake Tree

Monday, May 3, 2010 in Food

Two things I love: This Martha Stewart Cupcake Tree that my guy's coworkers gave us (along with a ton of other loot) for a surprise wedding shower (those folks rock!) And… and… the sinfully delicious Trophy Cupcakes that were on it. I've loved Trophy Cupcakes for years. This time, though, I tried the Salted Caramel [...]

How did this happen? Suddenly two days until Easter?! Amazing how, especially when life is crazy, holidays can just sneak up on you. Luckily, I was slightly prepared to create a little something special because of my shopping spree at Bake it Pretty a month or so ago. Along with at least one of just [...]

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Monday, March 22, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian

These Carrot Cupcakes, topped with Cream Cheese Frosting, are soooo good. And they're especially perfect for Easter. Though, I must confess, I'm not usually a carrot cake fan these days. I used to be, but something changed. When I was younger, certain foods exercised my gag reflex like, I don't know, Richard Simmons sweatin' to [...]
