Mint Chocolate Cupcakes Roopa I recently discovered mint chocolate chips, and felt compelled to make something with them. I have never really loved mint extract, so I thought I’d see how this compared. I used half of this cupcake recipe, and made a basic buttercream with the mint chocolate chips. MINT CHOCOLATE ICING ¼ cup (57 g) … More Mint Chocolate Cupcakes
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES Roopa I whipped these up quickly for a friend’s birthday! I used this cupcake recipe, and a chocolatized version of my peanut butter icing. INGREDIENTS ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter ¾ cup icing sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 50 g semisweet chocolate, melted 50 g peanut butter (I used all natural with no salt or … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Vanilla Icing Roopa These are a remake of these cupcakes I made a while back, and came out just as delicious. I put some blue food colouring in the bag by the narrow end of the flower tip to get the blue stripe. This isn’t exactly how I wanted them to turn out … More Honey Vanilla Cupcakes
Roopa I’m attending a friend’s thanksgiving party/dinner tomorrow, and as usual, am bringing baking. Whatever I made clearly had to be thanksgiving related, but I wasn’t sure what to do. My friend is already making pumpkin pie, so I didn’t really want to do anything pumpkiny. I decided to just do thanksgiving-esque decorations, and do … More Malted Chocolate Thanksgiving Cupcakes
Roopa I tried a slight adjustment to my normal chocolate cupcake recipe today; I used coffee instead of milk. I actually liked the taste quite a bit more. The texture was a little bit soft right out of the oven, but after 20 minutes they’re pretty reasonable. They are a little more moist and sticky, … More Veganish Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
Alana I decided that since it’s fall, the leaves are changing colour, and Thanksgiving is coming up it would be a good idea to visit one of my all time favorite flavours: pumpkin spice. Pumpkins! I’ve been meaning to make pumpkin spice cupcakes again since before September started, but it didn’t seem appropriate while the … More Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Alana More boozey bakes from Alana’s kitchen today! I went to the same going away party as Roopa last night, and Ashley requested Corona cupcakes. I guess we need to squeeze in as much summer as possible before fall hits! An excellent combination for a summer day 🙂 I looked up my old beer cake … More Corona & Lime Cupcakes
The beach volleyball tournament I’m playing in on Saturday is themed ‘Light it Up Blue’ as an Autism fundraiser, so I made blue themed cupcakes for it! The cupcake recipe is my go-to vanilla recipe, food coloured blue. They came out a touch greenish because of the vanilla, and I didn’t really want an excessive … More Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Vanilla Icing
Alana I made these cupcakes with my buddy Nate while he was between shifts (he’s currently working as a forest firefighter in northern Alberta). If you aren’t already aware, this is the lucky guy who got the Nanaimo cake for his birthday. I wasn’t going to recruit Nate to help me make unmanly cupcakes (at least … More Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
Roopa I felt like making something a little unconventional today, so I decided on coconut mango cupcakes. I don’t really enjoy coconut, but it seems to be a pretty well liked flavour and I had coconut milk at home, so I thought I’d try something with it. I kind of just threw some ingredients together, … More Coconut Mango Cupcakes
