Happy 6th Birthday Hailey Bug!!

I finally got my camera back from my Niece's 6th Birthday party. I've been dieing to post my pictures for a very long week!

I made my 6yr old Niece rainbow cupcakes with; white cake mix and lots of fun food coloring. To top off the cupcakes I made a sweet buttercream.

Here are the steps I took to make these lovely Cupcakes!

1. Colors! Pick out the colors you want for your cupcakes. I only did four colors; Red, Orange, Blue, and Purple. When mixing the colors use the 2 to 3 ratios. Example if you are making Purple- 2 drops of Blue and 3 drops of Red.

2. Layering- With this pan I started with Red. Start your rainbow however you like, just dab a little of the batter into the cupcake liners.

3. Continue dabbing spoonfuls of batter into cupcake liners until all colors have been used.

4. Time to Bake- After using all of your colors, pop the cupcake pan into oven and cook for 18-20 minutes.

And they are done and ready to eat!

Somewhere over the Rainbow

So my niece is having her Birthday party this Sunday and I've been planning her cupcakes for over a month now.

And to be honest I can't wait any longer to share what I want to do.

I found a website that gave step by step on how to make rainbow cupcakes.

Rainbow Cupcakes

And it looks like a lot of fun to do!

Not only is the cupcake going to be rainbow, but so is the icing!! Oh, yeah you read right.... the icing RAINBOW!

Can't wait to post my pictures of my very own Rainbow cupcakes with Rainbow icing!

All You Need is Cupcakes

There are a few things a Cupcake girl needs to have.

And here they are:

1. Batter Babies



Seriously, what a great invention for a cupcake baker! You want two flavor? Oh no problem, I'll just use my batter babies to give you one side of chocolate and one side peanut butter. Not only can you separate flavors, but you can separate colors, pink and blue, purple and green, etc it's up to you!

2.Cupcake Shoes

Yes Please!

3.Cupcake T-Shirt

I mean, if you have cupcake shoes you have to have a cupcake shirt!

4. Baker's Necklace

Really, how can you pass this up?!

5. Cupcake Coin Purse

Too Cute and Sweet!

And of course in order to buy all this wonderful cupcake stuff you need to save your money with this!

Thin Mint Wonder

My Mother in Law was having a game night with some of her friends and wanted me to make some cupcakes. The only thing she asked was for them to be St. Patrick's Dayish.

I had seen this recipe before and had been dying to make it. I found a blog {realmomkitchen.com} that had this thin mint recipe on it and had to try it out and thought that my Mother in law would love it.

Yes that's a chocolate cupcake with green mint buttercream icing  topped with none other than crumbled thin mints and a little slice of a thin mint cookie.

All ready to bake!

Bird's eye view on the cupcakes.



Close up!

Hope you enjoyed!!

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! :)
