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!
