ST. PATTY’S DAY VANILLA IRISH CREAM CUPCAKES What is more in theme with St. Patty’s day than Irish Cream cupcakes? I suppose I could have made them green, but oh well. I used this cupcake recipe, and stole the icing idea from these amazing looking cupcakes by Sprinklebakes: http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2013/02/bottoms-up-irish-cream-hot-fudge.html I wasn’t really motivated enough to do the … More Baileys Cupcakes
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH ALMOND BUTTERCREAM ICING Roopa I used this cupcake recipe, and just a basic almond buttercream (left over from last week’s Cookie Monster cupcakes). I added Skor bits on top for the final product, but they weren’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Just delicious.
Roopa I’m kind of waiting to hear back from schools these days, so I’m currently unemployed and kind of a hobo. On the plus side, this gives me a lot of time to bake! I decided to try out a new recipe today for a brown sugar based icing. It’s kind of like a caramel … More Chocolate Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Icing

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. 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
