Roopa A friend of mine had a birthday/going away and another friend was in town from Berlin, so obviously I had to bake something.

I also decided to fill them with lemon pudding, because why not? … More Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Icing
Roopa I start my new job tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my interviews, the fact that I bake a lot came up quite a bit. My background (facebook) check also strongly suggested this.

They turned out better than the previous attempt, but a little bit dry; I think that I may have undercooked the … More Chocolate Lentil Cupcakes: V2

Small victories!

I covered everything with oreo crumbs, and then topped them with … More Halloween Cupcakes
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 It’s my birthday today! Yay!!! In honour of turning a quarter century, I decided to bake myself a butterbeer cake because butterscotch = amazing.

I considered a few possibilities and at the end laziness won, so I made whatever I could that didn’t involve me leaving my house. I had a little bit of peanut butter and some … More Banana Cream filled Cupcakes with Butterscotch-Peanut Butter Icing
