Boston cream pie cupcakes

Is "Boston cream pie cupcakes" the most confusing name for a dessert ever, or what? Yeah, it totally makes no sense. But you know what's not confusing? How delicious these cupcakes are!

Peanut butter and jelly cupcakes

We were having a bit of a lazy Sunday this past weekend, which meant a lot of surfing the ‘net. Which, for me, means checking out food blogs. I’d gone through several when I came across the Sugar Plum Blog. I stayed there for awhile. Holy moly, did she have some delicious dessert recipes to …

Mardi Gras cupcakes

Mardi Gras is a completely underrated holiday for cupcake making, don't you think? I sure do. And that's why I made these cupcakes! This is another one of those posts that's more about decorating cupcakes than an actual cupcake recipe.

Because I got to eat these churro cupcakes with dulce de leche and whipped cream, that’s why! I’m kind of crazy for both cinnamon and caramel-esque flavors, so I LOVE this cupcake. I love it so much …

Wow. I wish I could describe how light these were, but I don’t think I have the right words. I wish I could hand out samples to everyone, actually.

Banana chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting

A mountain of sifted flour and stuff.

I’m really bad at remembering to eat bananas. I buy a bunch, eat one or two, and then completely forget about the rest until several days later, by which time they’re practically black. Oops. So I wasn’t surprised to find a couple of overripe bananas on my kitchen counter the other day. Actually, I was …
