Last week here at work they had a huge BBQ Rib competition and cupcake battle, people from all over the state came to compete.

Chocolate and Strawberry Cupcakes
This post has two recipes I made last year but I felt the ideas where too good not to share and they could both be perfect for Valentine’s treats.

Bridal Shower Cupcakes
I got the honor of making cupcakes for my cousins bridal shower; the theme was lavender and green and the decor was natural and for whatever reason I found that rather intimidating.

My BFF wanted something light and fresh for her birthday, this recipe looked fabulous and tasted even better. The combination of lemon and blueberries is very good not to mention biting into creamy lemon curd inside the cupcake. The recipe I used called for a lemon butter cream but I knew I wanted to use either…

The countdown begins…
With the Holidays speeding towards us like a freight train, getting all the baked goods done in time to give out is a challenge. I tried my hardest to stay organized and spread out the work over a week but I still ran out of time to do everything I intended. I am happy with…
Chocolate cupcakes with Salted peanut caramel.
I came upon a recipe for some peanut butter cookies topped with a salted peanut caramel and I could not get it out of my head. But as usual, I had to find a way to put this in a cupcake, since I had to bring some to a housewarming party. Not too difficult of…
Peanut Butter Madness Cupcakes
That has to be about the only way you could describe this cupcake. As usual a group of us were talking about cupcake flavors in the locker room at the gym and peanut butter and chocolate was the overwhelming favorite.
