Fresh Apple

I actually made these last week, but if you read my normal blog, you can see why I might not have had time to publish, until now!

I made Fresh Apple cupcakes!

They turned out super yummy! They tasted sweet with cinnamon sugar yumminess! They also had a cream cheese frosting with toasted pecans on top! I actually found this recipe for Apple Cake in Southern Living, and then turned them into cupcakes!

Fresh Strawberry

This week's cupcake is Fresh Strawberry with Fresh Strawberry Icing! I found the recipe for "Sprinkles" Strawberry cupcakes! The frosting is LOVELY but the cupcakes need more strawberry flavor. They were still decent though, I am just going to tweak it for better results next time!

Key Lime Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting



Um. YUM! These turned out really soft and the frosting is SO yummy! The cupcake has a very suttle key lime flavor, not too overpowering. After I have a few people judge them this week, we'll see if I need to add a bit more key lime flavor, but I think they are super yummy!

Chocolate-Marshmellow-Ganache-Buttercream


Not sure what to call these! I was ambitious and decided to do an extra recipe this week. I wanted to do a chocolate cupcake, from scratch, and then Casey had the idea of putting Marshmellow Cream in the center. Then, I originally was only planning on doing a chocolate ganache on top. However, whenever I did it, I did NOT like the way it looked! So, then Casey suggested that I do a different frosting, so I made a chocolate buttercream. Honestly, I think they turned out better because they had both frostings! The only thing I would do differently is take them out of the oven a little sooner, because the smaller ones got a little dry. However, when they sat overnight with the marshmellow cream in the center, it made them a lot more moist! I took a bunch to school and gave them to the teachers and almost every teacher LOVED them. One even said "this is the best cupcake I have ever had!" and she is like the best baker I have ever known! If I do these again, especially to sell, I'll come up with a more creative name!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

My first cupcake recipe helped us get even more in the mood for Fall! These cupcakes are SUPER yummy! The cupcakes were very moist and flavorful, and the icing was SO creamy and tasty!

The cupcakes are flavored with real pumpkin, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cinnamon.


The icing is flavored with maple syrup and vanilla.
