Cupcakes and Bikinis?  Huh?

Cupcakes and Bikinis? Huh?

Last week I got a funny email from my sister.  She sent me a screen shot of my blog and the advertisement that happened to be on display while she was browsing.

Pumpkin Cake Balls & Pops

I got the Bakerella “Cake Pops” book (signed of course!) and I was inspired to try her cake balls and pops again.  I had tried them about 18 months ago and it was a complete DISASTER!   [Read more...]

When new recipes go bad

I wrote about the Orange Creamsicle Disaster and included a photo of the best of the best of the cupcakes that day. They looked kinda pretty… but they didn’t taste pretty. I forgot I had taken this picture… but I thought it was funny seeing a butt load of cupcakes in the trash can. This is what happens when new cupcake recipes go so bad… that even US Army Soldiers won’t eat them.
Poor Cupcakes.

Orange Creamsicle Disaster

*I’ll take better pictures in the daylight tomorrow!*

So I’m a little bummed how the Orange Creamsicle cupcakes turned out tonight. I followed the recipe as instructed, but I think some things need a little tweeking. Next time, I’ll only fill the cups 1/2 way and really watch them the last 2 minutes.

Some of them came out a little toasty around the edges. And although the marshmallow makes it the creamsicle part, I’m not sure if I like how it looks piped onto the cupcake. I think next time, I’ll stick with straight orange buttercream frosting (which is DELICIOUS, by the way) and just call them Orange Delight cupcakes.

I’ll try these again someday…. make them perfect!!
