Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cupcakes!

I also made these a long time ago in December, but they were SO good!


They're chocolate cupcakes with a butter and pretzel concoction that I baked before I filled the wrappers with batter for a pretzelier feel! The frosting is chocolate butter cream (literally my favorite frosting)! It was so milk chocolaty and delicious; it seriously melted in my mouth! On top, I made another concoction, this time from crushed pretzels and melted chocolate, YUM! Finally, I drizzled caramel on top to give it a sweeter taste!

Candy Cane Cupcakes!

I realize it's March 18, and I haven't posted in a really long time, but here's a cupcake I made around Christmas time. (Such a long time ago, I know!)

I'm sorry, I've been busy with senior stuff, colleges, and work, so I haven't been baking much or posting.

Anyway, these are chocolate cupcakes with peppermint swirl frosting. I thought they'd taste like a peppermint patty, so I decided to go with chocolate rather than white cake. The frosting wasn't that hard to make, I just made regular icing and added peppermint extract flavoring, dyed half of it red, put it in half of the piping bag, and filled to rest with the remaining white frosting. Make sure you squeeze some out of the bag to get it to look like a candy cane before you put it on the cupcakes!
I topped them off with crushed candy canes, which unfortunately they got soggy after a day, so eat them when they're fresh! 

Gingerbread Cupcakes!

It seriously has been over two months since I updated my cupcake adventures. So, here's one!
This is a gingerbread cupcake with cinnamon buttercream and crushed ginger snaps on top! Yum!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes!

These cupcakes were originally supposed to be like the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. I love them!

I didn't want I put too much coffee in them because I was afraid it would overpower them. You can taste it a little bit though. They are pumpkin spice cupcakes with coffee. The icing is cinnamon cream cheese, and the garnish consists of ground coffee beans and brown sugar.
These are delicious!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Red Velvet Cupcakes!

I know it's not Valentine's Day yet, but I needed to make red velvet cupcakes. This is a recipe from The Cupcake Diaries. It was okay, but I'm not a big fan of red velvet. Everyone who tried them said they were good!

It's a red velvet cupcake (recipe from Georgetown Cupcake) with classic, vanilla buttercream icing. A homemade, marshmallow fondant dot dyed red served as a topping.

Pumpkin Cupcakes!

Besides the random bursts of snow, it still feels like fall in Pittsburgh for the time being. This inspired me to bake pumpkin cupcakes which are very classy for fall. They go with Halloween and Thanksgiving, so they are versatile. Any way, it's just a pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese filling and vanilla cream cheese frosting! Oh, and not to mention a pumpkin candy corn to top it off! YUM! :) Happy Fall!

 

Spider Web Black Bottom Cupcakes!

I know Halloween has come and gone, but here are the cupcakes I made for it!
I made a black bottom cupcake which is just a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese baked inside. The icing is orange cream cheese (thank gosh for food coloring)! The "web" consists of melted white chocolate on wax paper. The "spider" is just a chocolate chip!
These are SO CUTE. I am glad I made them, they really represent Halloween. Thanks for reading; Happy Belated Halloween!

Churro Cupcake!

I have not blogged in FOREVER. Wow, it has seriously been over a month. Sorry, I've just been extremely busy. Over the past month or so, I think, I made churro cupcakes (and some more chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes..YUM)!

The churro cupcakes are cinnamon cupcakes with caramel filling and cinnamon icing. They have a cinnamon garnish on top with drizzled caramel! They were really rich, and awesome! Here are some pictures...

P.S... If you have any suggestions about what I should make next, comment or write on my wall on FB! :)

Apple Streusel Cupcake!

Classic apple pie & a cupcake, what?!
It's an apple cupcake with cinnamon frosting and apple streusel topping! Yum. The cupcake is moist while the streusel adds texture!

Thanks for reading this post!

Dirt Cupcakes!

I know it isn't Earth Day or Halloween, but I made "dirt" cupcakes. Dirt is just pudding, Oreos, whipped cream, and cream cheese mixed together.

I filled classic chocolate cupcakes with "dirt", frosted them with vanilla buttercream icing, sprinkled crushed Oreos over the icing, and topped each one with a gummy worm!
These are fun cupcakes to make for any occasion, Halloween, Earth Day, the first day of spring, or even Mother's day (if you made them look like flower pots)!
