Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes

What’s your favorite drink at Starbucks?  I’m a sucker for a good Caramel Macchiato, iced or hot… but stirred, I like it when the milk is mixed together with the coffee… all that caramely goodness with whipped cream=divine. [Read more...]

Mini Brownie Cupcakes

Happy weekend!  These little brownie bites are super tasty. I’ve made this brownie cupcake recipe a few times for a baby shower and as a present… they’re also my little brother’s favorite cupcake!  The last time I made them I decided to drizzle them with caramel, add some almond slivers and mini chocolate chips and they were amazing.

Blueberry Pancake Cupcakes

What’s better than blueberry pancakes on a Saturday morning?  Blueberry pancake cupcakes, of course :) These are topped off with a maple syrup buttercream that really makes them amazing.  The cake is light and fluffy, not dense at all and even though the frosting is super sweet, they totally seem like a pancake, just bite size and obviously way cuter.

Chocolate Toffee & Coffee Cupcakes

I don’t eat a ton of candy but I love me some heath bars, toffee is pretty delicious.  I was wandering around the baking aisle at the grocery store (when I bought more baking powder for the lemon poppy seed muffins) and I decided to buy a few bags of heath bar candy bits.  I didn’t have a recipe in mind, but I figured it would find one online and all would be well in the world.

Julie’s Blueberry Muffins

I have a long list of baked goods that I’m supposed to make for folks for variety of reasons.  Sometimes, it’s because I ask what they want and promise that I’ll make it, other times it’s because they want something super bad and I promise that I’ll make it.  Do we see a pattern here? ;) [Read more...]
