Elmo Cupcakes!

Everyone likes Sesame Street! And everyone likes Elmo! He's internationally known! Now, he is in cupcake form. It's just a vanilla cupcake with butter cream icing. Half an Oreo cookie is his mouth, and the marshmallows are his eyes. A dyed mini marshmallow serves as his nose. He's so cute, too cute to eat! Enjoy!

Chocolate Lava Cupcake!

A chocolate cupcake is great, but what's even better? A chocolate cupcake with chocolate in the middle! YUM! I made a chocolate cupcake and filled it with chocolate ganache. The ganache looked like lava spewing out of a volcano! The center is full of chocolate ganache! The cupcake is topped with green/teal butter cream icing with chocolate ganache drizzled on top. It's the perfect cupcake if you are craving chocolate! What do you think?

Fairy Cakes!

Fairy cakes are just what people from the UK call cupcakes! They are the same thing, but they just have a cooler name. I centered this cupcake around the UK. Honestly, I want to live there. I've never been there, but I think that it would be awesome! Anyway, these fairy cakes have Queen Victoria’s sponge cake. It was her favorite kind of cake, so they named it after her. Isn’t that nice? Supposedly, England/UK is known for its strawberries. I never knew that, did you? Because of that, I made strawberry crème filling, butter cream icing, and put a slice of a strawberry on top of every fairy cake.

Pip, pip, cheerio! :)

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes!

A cookie and a cupcake? WHAT? Yes, it is true. This is a snickerdoodle cupcake. AMAZING, right? RIGHT. It's a yellow cupcake with cinnamon butter cream icing and crushed, homemade snickerdoodle on top! It was really good! So moist and sweet but not too sweet. The perfect combination!

What have you missed?

Since the last time I blogged, I made two more cupcakes. Unfortunately, I failed to take pictures before they were all eaten... Well, I made rainbow cupcakes and s'mores cupcakes!


The rainbow cupcakes were white cupcakes with rainbow-colored layers (thanks to food colouring!) with vanilla butter cream and jimmies on top! They were AH-DOR-ABLE!


The s'mores cupcakes I made were devil's food cupcakes with crushed graham cracker and melted chocolate at the bottom. On top was a marshmallow icing, more like a ganache, with a piece of a chocolate bar on top! YUM!


I'll try to make more, but I've been busy! Thanks!

Cadbury Egg Cupcakes!

I love Cadbury eggs! The crème ones are my favorite, the caramel ones are good too, but they just aren't as good as the crème ones. Anyway, since tomorrow is Easter and I love Cadbury eggs, I decided to make cream-filled and caramel-filled cupcakes! The Cadbury egg caramel cupcakes are devil's food cupcakes with caramel filling in the center, butter cream icing, sprinkles, and a mini caramel egg on top! The Cadbury egg crème cupcakes are milk chocolate cupcakes with crème filling, butter cream icing, and a part of a crème egg on top! YUM! They are so cute!

Happy Easter!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes!

I’m not going to lie, peanut butter and jelly, without the crust, is one of my all-time favorite foods (right behind cereal). I love baking cupcakes and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so I had to try to make these cupcakes. They were actually pretty good! I just made a yellow cupcake, filled it with jelly, iced it with peanut butter frosting, and put a little bit of jelly on top! They turned out great! Check it out!

Oreo Cupcakes!

Since Oreo is milk’s favorite cookie, I decided it should be cupcake’s favorite cookie too! I just made chocolate cupcakes, but I put a half of an Oreo (with the cream side) on the bottom of each cupcake before I put the batter in. I used heavy whipping cream and crushed Oreos to make the icing. I then put the other half of the Oreo on top of the cupcake to add a nice “touch”. They were delish, or as I’ve heard.

P.S.- Cadbury egg and peanut butter and jelly cupcakes are going to be made very soon! YUM!

 

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!

The sun was shining today, and it was warm which reminded me of summer, so I made ice cream cone cupcakes! I just made yellow mini and regular sized cupcakes, put one mini inside of an ice cream cone with icing, flipped a regular upside down and put it on top, flipped a mini and put it on top of the regular, iced it, and put sprinkles on it! The pink icing goes well with this blog title, right? I thought so. :)  They turned out awesome! It’s just hard to store or transport them because of their height and support system (the cone) which is not that sturdy! Now, I just have to figure out how I can put ice cream at the bottom… I’ll see if I can tackle that one next weekend!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes!

For my sports team, we have sisters and we give them sister gifts. My sister requested baked goods since she knew that I liked baking. I decided to do a “theme” for every week; every week would consist of a different cupcake. This week’s was cookie dough. I made everything from scratch. Anyway, I made a chocolate chip cupcake, baked it and when it was cooled, carved a hole in the center and put in a ball of chocolate chip cookie dough (I made it so it was safe to eat, no chance of salmonella!). I then iced the cupcakes with brown sugar frosting, put chocolate chips on top, and mini cookies on a few. YUM! When I brought them to my game, everyone went gaga over them like usual!
