Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love St. Patrick's Day and what better way to celebrate it, than with a Guinness Cupcake with cream cheese icing.

I don't think I need to say much about this picture..... :)

Guinness cupcake batter.

The great thing about this recipe is the left over Guinness.

Tried a new recipe for the cream cheese icing and I like it!

I think the cupcake says it all!!

Ready for Spring!

I finally got around to making my strawberry cupcakes with kiwi icing and they are delicious!

I was kind of scared to make kiwi icing, but it does taste wonderful with a strawberry cupcake.

All ready to bake with all my ingredients and supplies.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

I had a friend at work that wanted me to make her some red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing. I can not pass up baking, so I kindly said "OK!"

I know I've already posted about  red velvet cupcakes, but this time instead of using red coloring gel I used food coloring. The food coloring didn't give off much of a red color as I hoped, but if you don't mind neither do I.

I also used half cake flour and half all purpose flour, which made the cupcakes very fluffy and moist.

I guess cake flour isn't bad after all! :)

Cherries All Around!

I was wanting to make some cupcakes, but knew I had to clean the house before I could... Kind of like when you were a kid and had to do your homework before you could go play at a friend's house.

Since I made Strawberry cupcake yesterday I wanted to make another fruit cupcake. 

CHERRY was the winner (next will be blueberries or kiwi).

So I made Cherry Cupcakes with Cherry/Chocolate Icing. 

I've also found out from making many cupcakes, that I do NOT like cake flour. It doesn't change the taste of the cupcakes, just how they look. Next time no cake flour!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day My Friends!

My Sister, Becky called me up one day last week and wanted my to make Valentine's Day cupcakes for her daughter's Valentine's Day Party. She didn't want Chocolate, which was fine with me because I had been wanting to make strawberry cupcakes for some time now.

I did my research and found "The One" I like to combine recipes that I find to make them more of my own. 

I used fresh strawberries for the cupcakes and made strawberry cream cheese icing.

I was scared at first bc of the color, but they were NOT burnt!

Yummy!!!

Happy Birthday Kristen!!

I love making cupcakes, but it's my favorite when I'm making birthday cupcakes!

A friend my mine wanted me to make her chocolate cupcakes with cherry icing, and I did just that!

Happy Birthday!!!
