BAILEYS CUPCAKES Roopa It was my friend/classmate Gillian’s birthday in August, but we were both home for summer so her birthday baking was a little delayed. We decided on Baileys cupcakes as a post-midterm treat, and mini eggs on top because mini eggs are spectacular. These were definitely made on a time constraint, so I … More Baileys Birthday Cupcakes
Roopa I always thought that the correct spelling was ‘St. Patty’s Day’ because it was from St. Patrick.

Alana Finally, the perfect opportunity to use my giant cupcake pan presented itself. My friend Jocleyn is moving to Vancouver soon, and her birthday is just around the corner. She said either cupcakes or a cake would be great, so I figured both would be the best option. The flavour request was Guinness beer cake, … More Giant Stout Cupcake
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
