Party Cupcakes

These are the cupcakes I made yesterday.  They are white wedding cake with the icing colored aqua blue and lime green to match a luau-themed kids' party.  The colors came out so pretty.  Enjoy the party, S family!

Carrot Cake & Sundae Cupcakes

I made these birthday cupcakes last week.  They are sundae-topped white wedding cake and carrot cake.  I made one more adjustment to the carrot cake and now they are perfect.  I'm told the birthday girl loved them.  Hope you had a great birthday, T!

Red Velvet Cupcake -- Round 1

I have to admit, red velvet is not my favorite.  I think that is why I've never attempted it.  I get so may requests for it though, so I decided to go for it.  This morning I made my first batch.  I found a recipe online and I adjusted the ingredients to what I thought would be good.  I've got to say, they came out pretty tasty!  There is one thing I need to change though and then I think they'll be perfect.  The icing is a variation of the carrot cake icing I use and I think it really compliments the red velvet cupcake perfectly.

Banana Chocolate Cupcakes

I finally got around to making banana cupcakes topped with chocolate icing.  They came out great.  I think I may try the opposite next time -- chocolate cake with banana icing.  Sounds so good!

Housewarming Cupcakes

I made these last night for a housewarming party today.  They are vanilla with lemon icing, topped with shaved white chocolate and double chocolate, topped with shaved milk chocolate.  Yum!

Cherry Chunk

I've been thinking about these cupcakes for a while.  I have a friend whose mom would make her a cherry chip cake for her birthday every year.  So, while I was making these cupcakes, I was thinking about my friend.  I definitely have some ideas on what I want to change about them.  They're almost there...

Baby Shower Cupcakes

These are the cupcakes I made for a baby shower last weekend.  They are lemon with white wedding icing and chocolate with white wedding icing.  The mom-to-be said they were a hit at the shower and not one was left.

Man, I love this cupcake!

Today I made a dozen chocolate wedding cupcakes for a friend who plans on taking them to church tomorrow.  I made some adjustments to my recipe and I am very pleased with the outcome.  I cannot wait to eat one tonight after dinner!
