If you, like me, enjoying bringing a fresh baked cupcake into work for an afternoon snack then you might like this post.
I have a Tupperware cupcake holder that will transport 18 cupcakes but it’s a bit overboard for one. The best way I’ve found is to take a small round container with a lid. The [...]

One of my friends told me that today was National Cupcake Day. I figured this was as good an excuse as any to bake some cupcakes! I went hunting for a recipe that I could make with what I had in the house. I looked through my numerous cupcake cookbooks but nothing struck my fancy, [...]

Here are few photos from the cupcakes and mint oreo cakes pops I made for St Patrick’s Day. The cupcakes are green velvet and are as easy to make as substituting half of the red food coloring in a red velvet recipe for green food coloring. In my case I used 1 oz of [...]

Last year I bought a Groupon for Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford. It was $10 for a $20 voucher. While I had good intentions of going right when I got it, I soon realized my voucher was expiring in 2 weeks. So off I went on Saturday.

Everyone loved these cupcakes – probably more for the decorations than [...]

Last night I helped my sister make 6 dozen cupcakes. It took about 4hrs with a dinner break but having 2 people definitely makes it go faster. We made chocolate, vanilla, and hummingbird cupcakes. The first two with Swiss meringue buttercream and the latter with cream cheese frosting. However, if you are from Campus [...]

I’m not a huge fan of the over decorated cupcakes. In my book, cupcakes should look good but not so amazing that you don’t want to eat it. I think I rescind this rule for the Muppet Cupcake Wedding Tower from UK-based Cupcake Occasions.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and Buttercream Poinsettas
Obviously these are from Christmastime. Piping poinsettas is pretty easy and quick work.

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
These cupcakes are from the Martha Stewart Cupcake Book. The cupcake is good but a [...]
