Mochachocalattayaya!

I'm thinking that's an appropriate name for this vanilla mocha cupcake with cream cheese frosting & brown sugar topping. Just substitute the water for coffee & add a teaspoon of extra vanilla! It has a subtle coffee after taste but is probably not strong enough for the die-hard, cup of black coffee drinkers. Still working on that one, definitely chocolate & maybe some Bailey's! Yum :)

Sexy like a chocolate strawberry!

Ok well there isn't any chocolate involved, although thinking about it now that might not be a bad idea :) Anywho, here is my interpretation of a Strawberry Shortcake or in my mind a Strawberry "Shawt" Cake (since I'm suppose to be applying corky names to all of these cupcakes I come up with) What do we think of the name? Yay or Nay??

Uh Oh Oreos!

So who doesn't love Oreos? I definitely do and Kendra introduced me to an Oreo cupcake recipe from annies-eats.net that I further modified. This is one of my favorite cupcake flavors and the yellow cake mix with the Golden Oreo is just as amazing as the chocolate!

Happy Birthday!

In honor of my friend Aaron's birthday, which was technically yesterday, I decided to make him cupcakes. Instead of doing all plain chocolate on chocolate (cake mix I made from scratch, a first) I made a vanilla mint icing & a mocha icing just for variety. Extra garnish: Oreo crumbs & mini chocolate chips.

Suite 106 Cupcakery

Yesterday I found a cupcakery at Victoria Gardens & couldn't resist trying them out. I got a pumpkin pie (i think that was the name) & a cookies & creams. Both were very good, although I enjoyed the pumpkin one the most. I also had a sample of the orange chiffon, DELISH. They had a few more flavors I want to try & a couple wild ones like pancakes & bacon (a little sketch). Overall I give them a thumbs up!

Crunchy and Sweet

Last week, Kendra (a bestie!) & I decided to make some cupcakes & ran across a new Duncan Hines fave called Butter Pecan. They can out absolutely DELICIOUS i tell you!! Light & fluffy as always, with a sweet after taste. The added pecans topped it off with the perfect crunch, just like a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream.

A strawberry garnish  & a glass of champagne is all thats missing!

Winner's Prize

For my History of Fashion class last quarter i had a group project to present, which included a quiz at the end of the presentation to make sure the other students were paying attention. Anywho, the winner's prize were cupcakes (of course). 

The top 3 were Cookies & Cream with Oreo crumbs on top, Vanilla on Vanilla, Chocolate on Chocolate, then Vanilla on Chocolate with mini Chocolate chips on top! Gone by the end of class. A better alternative to a handful of candy, don't you think?
