Roopa I told my friend I’d bake her some cupcakes for her student group fundraiser, and I felt it needed to be something Christmasey, being November and all. I tend to frequent Second Cup when I’m trying to study, and am kind of in love with their Candy Cane hot chocolate. It’s basically a white hot … More Vanilla Cupcakes with Mint White Chocolate Icing
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.

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

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
COLOURFUL SPIRAL COOKIES Roopa I never really made a post specifically about these cookies, so I’m doing it a few months late. I used the recipe exactly how it is here: http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2010/01/colorful-spiral-cookies.html It was my first time rolling dough together, and I didn’t let it thaw nearly enough. I had some tears with the rolling process, … More Spiral Cookies
Roopa I went to a friend’s gathering the other night, and she requested cheesecake of any kind. I adapted a recipe off of Sprinklebakes, and went with a malted chocolate filling rather than a strawberry filling. I didn’t actually eat any – I had a bad experience with cheesecake once – but apparently it was … More No-Bake Malted Chocolate Cheesecake
