Cupcake Transportation System

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 [...]

Double Brown Cupcakes for National Cupcake Day

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, [...]

St Patrick’s Day Treats

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 [...]

A Visit to Sweet Avenue Bake Shop

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.
The bakery is a little hard [...]

Baked Almond Green Tea Cupcakes

I recently got my hands on Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. It’s cookbook from a Brooklyn bakery and the recipes looked pretty good. There were three recipes that I immediately wanted to try: almond green tea cupcakes, root beer bundt cake, and chocolate malt cake.
You know about me and cupcakes so of course that’s the [...]

S’mores Cupcakes

I offered to make my brother cupcakes for his recent birthday – his choice of flavors. I gave him some options and he chose S’mores. So I went searching for recipes. I based my recipe on the Trophy Cupcakes version posted on Martha Stewart.
I thought I’d try to put a marshmallow in the center. Don’t. [...]

Bridal Shower Cupcake Tower

My friend Alexis’s bridal shower was yesterday. She loves cupcakes so I made her a cupcake tower. Normally I’d just decorate with buttercream but these had to travel by car and it’s pretty hot out in the East, so I went with a fondant decoration.
Everyone loved these cupcakes – probably more for the decorations than [...]

Super Sprinkles

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 [...]

Muppet Cupcakes

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.
AMAZING!

Baking Updates

I have been bad about updating on baking so here’s a quick retrospective of the past few months.
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 [...]
