Pumpkin Cupcakes with Burnt Marshmallow Frosting

These burnt babies went with me to a pumpkin carving party we went to with friends. Everyone that had one liked them. I thought they were a lovely pumpkin flavor with all the spices; cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Of course the marshmallow frosting was the star of the dish. The recipe is available from the…

Milk-And-Cookies Cupcakes

This cupcake recipe is a play on milk and cookies. The milk flavor of the cupcake comes from sweetened condensed milk and whole milk. There are mini chocolate chips inside the cupcake for added texture. The frosting which was delicious was made with melted milk chocolate. I thought this cupcake captured the essence of milk…

Peaches-And-Cream Cupcakes

My latest adventure from the Food Network, peaches and cream cupcakes. Despite the name, there isn’t anything peachy about this cupcake except the garnish. The two flavors added are vanilla and almond extract. It is actually quite a plain cupcake. I found another peaches-n-cream cupcake from the Food Network that included puree peaches, peach filling…

Pina Colada Cupcakes

Another hit recipe from the Food Network. I took these Pina Colada Cupcakes to a dinner party we were invited to and they were a success with adults and kids. The cake part is flavored with coconut milk, coconut oil, rum and lime juice. I chose to omit the coconut extract since I did not…

Sundae Cupcakes

When I served these cupcakes my guests immediately recognized them as Sundaes. The cupcake base is a chocolate cake with chopped bananas.

Raspberry Cupcakes

This month’s cupcake is raspberry. The original recipe called for rose but I am not into the floral taste so I just left it out. This cupcake, a bit muffin-like, was made with sour cream. I think these are more sturdy to stand up to the filling. The raspberry filling, the star of the dish,…

Carrot Cupcakes

These carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting were mostly a hit with the family. The original recipe calls for walnuts but my family does not like walnuts so I substituted pecans. The recipe also includes one tablespoon of finely chopped candied ginger which my husband tasted but I didn’t. I put in a heaping tablespoon…

Lemon Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting

This recipe from the Food Network was originally called Rainbow Cupcakes as there are 5 layers of brightly colored cupcake batter. I opted not to use food dye and made the recipe without it. I made one change in the instructions to amp up the flavor of the lemon. The recipe calls for the zest…

Chocolate-Strawberry Cupcakes

Today is National Cupcake Day, in Canada that is. Mardi Michels from eat.live.travel.write informed me about National Cupcake Day to benefit the ASPCA. I did not have time to sell cupcakes to help raise money for this worthy cause but I did bake to show my support.  Continuing on my year of cupcakes journey I…
