It’s been over three months… three long months since I’ve baked a cupcake. Today, I reclaimed my excitement, desire, and drive to bake again thanks to an old friend who called and asked me to make cupcakes for an upcoming bridal shower.

Bakerella made cinnamon rolls this week and I couldn’t stop thinking about them. They looked like HEAVEN. I could just smell their sweet cinnamomy goodness wafting thru my house just looking at the pictures.

It’s SPRING and I’ve got the FEVER! Fresh fruit is everywhere and I am buying a lot of it! I had about a flat of strawberries and these beautiful lemons in my kitchen and an itch to come up with a new recipe.

So, I know this has NOTHING to do with baking or cupcakes… BUT… I got a new crock pot for my birthday (Thanks Mom & Dad) and needed to make something fabulous in it!! I’ve been working on eating healthy lately so I thought a good chicken noodle soup would be perfect!

Yesterday’s mini cupcake disaster inspired me to turn the rest of the chocolate batter into perfect regular size cupcakes. I was able to salvage enough for 21 perfect Chocolate Mint cupcakes.

I was in the mood for a simple cupcake since the last few I’ve made have been pretty elaborate. What’s more simple than a white cupcake with chocolate chips? YUM!

I was asked by Foodies@Work (on Twitter @foodiesatwork) to write a guest blog for their site. They wanted me to come up with a cupcake that reflected the Pacific Northwest. At first, I instantly thought seafood!! But reconsidered because I’m certain that a lobster cupcake wouldn’t be that tasty. So I decided on apples.

It was Tracy’s grandmothers 84th birthday and she wanted cupcakes! She wasn’t a big fan of chocolate so a white cake was ordered and wanted to add a bit of color with raspberries. So what I came up with was this White Velvet Raspberry filled cupcakes topped with Vanilla Buttercream and a fresh raspberry!

The local market had given me some free over ripe bananas and I wanted to make bread with them. I had so many that I ended up making a double batch. Forgetting that I only had one bread/loaf pan, I needed a quick fix for the extra batter. Cupcake liners!!! I have lots of those!!! [...]

Rhubarb, what is rhubarb exactly? I’ve asked myself this dozens of times and to be honest, I still don’t have the answer. I asked a bunch of my friends on Twitter and they said it’s a tart veggie, but it’s used almost like a fruit it pies, jams and muffins and such. *humph* I still [...]

And finally, the last cupcakes I made were a tri-color cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting.

I spooned each color into the [...]
