So this is my first "official" cupcake post here! I've been wanting to make a savory cupcake (maybe this counts as a "cupfake" too!) for awhile now, and it struck me the other day that a cheddar bacon biscuit would be delectable with some creamy avocado on top. So I pondered and googled for a week to work out the details, and voila! These came out so, so yummy. You should DEFINITELY make these!!

♥ Your cupcake history: I've been partial to cupcakes for about a year now, and particularly love trying out new recipes and interesting combinations. My first ever cupcakes were Paula Deen's Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.

♥ Why you like cupcakes: They're the perfect size, easy to make adorable, and so fun to reveal. No cake cutting necessary. I also love cake balls (you can see my little chickie cake ball in my user icon) and basically anything delicious.

♥ Anything to share?: I'm excited to have found this cupcake-specific community! I'm surprised I haven't really looked for one before. I'm making some savory cupcakes tomorrow, so perhaps that'll be my first "official" cupcake posting -- if they turn out! I'll leave you with a link to my baking blog in case you want to peruse anything I've done so far: Willow Bird Baking. Can't wait to meet you all and enjoy your cupcakes :)

Just wanted to share this adorable little cupcake accessory I found at the grocery store the other day! I have absolutely no idea what I'll use it for. Probably take them out of the holder & use them around the house (the tops come off, they are little "condiment holders"). But aren't they cute? :)

Cupcake game with recipes!

  • Jul. 5th, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Hello all. I'm not sure if this has already been posted here (I've been neglecting my f-list lately ^^;;), but I bought a game from Big Fish Games called Jessica's Cupcake Cafe, and each level unlocks different recipes.

Well, I clicked "Recipe Book" on the main menu, and all of the recipes I unlocked are there! They show all the ingredients you'll need and even the steps to making them. :3 Here are a couple of the recipes I have already unlocked: Strawberry Jam with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, Fresh Blueberry with Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting, and Green Tea with Lemon Buttercream Frosting.

The game itself is very charming and a must have for cupcake lovers! :D

If anyone would like the recipes, please get to me, and I'll write them out and type them up! The recipes even save to a .txt file on your desktop, so if anyone would like a recipe, please get to me! :3

Cupcake delivery??

  • Jun. 29th, 2009 at 5:42 PM
My friend's birthday is in exactly oner month, and I wanted to do something fun/special for him.

Do any of you know of any bakeries that will deliver a dozen (or half dozen) cupcakes to Wisconsin from NY/NJ?
Or, do you know of any good bakeries in Wisconsin I should contact?

If those options don't work out, I was going to consider shipping fancy cupcakes from NJ (here), but I'm not sure how to take care of them without spoiling them. I'd rather not risk it.

Please, your advice.

Thanks so, so much.

foil cake cases

  • Jun. 29th, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Hi I really want to make some fondant fancies - I don't know if this is a UK term, but what I mean are tiny round or square cakes, 2" across, covered in fondant icing with a small dot of buttercream underneath the icing on the top of the cake.
These are sometimes presented in a foil cake case, put on after the fondant icing. I've tried and tried to find a UK supplier for square foil cases - there are plenty of round ones, but no square. I have thought of flattening out a round one and cutting it to make a square, as a last ditch attempt I'll do this, but if anyone knows where I can get them I'd be really grateful.
Thanks
Christine

Hey Everyone!
These are pretty similar to my last batch of cupcakes, but I LOVE the color of the icing!
They're for my cousins' birthdays tomorrow. (Girl turning 4 and a boy turning 9) I thought this was the best way to incorporate both of their tastes! There are tons of picture- Enjoy :)

Banoffee cupcakes

  • Jun. 25th, 2009 at 4:13 PM
I have a serious love for banoffee pie. And now I have a serious love for banoffee cupcakes.


I mean, they're beautiful, for a start. And then when you get past the eyegasm that comes from whipped cream and chocolate, there's toffee and banana cupcake underneath. Seriously, I'm drooling a little bit now. Damn it.

punk rock cupcakes!

  • Jun. 25th, 2009 at 6:45 PM

This was an order from a fellow Tweep for a punk rock-themed hen party. Sounds like fun, doesn't it! The colour theme was pink and black, and the bride-to-be loves lightning and skulls, hence the design.

The cupcakes were chocolate flavoured, topped with two-toned black and dark pink frosting, and adorned with marshmallow fondant toppers.

giant eighteenth cupcake help?

  • Jun. 21st, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Opinions needed all.
Okayy-so its my eighteenth birthday in a couple of weeks. I'm planning what will hopefully be an alright gathering and thus, would need a cake. And being someone who loves cupcakes more than life itself...okkay too far there. But they are pretty delicious. So then i thought...why not make a HUGE cupcake instead of a cake...with mini one aswell of course. So then running of to google...i found many many pics of giant cupcakes people had made. For example_

Cute huh??


And aren't they just adorable? )
  • So the help i need would be-does anyone have/know of any other method of making a giant cupcake??
It would really be appreciated X
</div>
 
 


Im a little bit low on money at the moment so i thought i'd bake my dad his fathers day present... Chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate frosting, and vanilla cupcakes with dark chocolate frosting. With a variety of toppings. My Boyfriend made me a box and a logo. lets hope my dad likes them. =]
