July Cupcake

Here’s my cupcake of the month, just in the nick of time! I was really craving chocolate, last weekend, but never got around to making the cupcakes. I had some extra time, yesterday evening, and whipped these up. I used the chocolate cupcake recipe on joyofbaking.com and a peanut butter frosting recipe from allrecipes.com.

Red Hot April cupcake!

The cupcake of the month (and maybe the year..) is Chocolate and Chilli! Again, I got the recipe from 500 Cupcakes. The batter was pretty hot and I was a little worried. Then, I ate a warm cupcake and it was kind of amazing. THEN, I made the frosting (!!) and oh my God! It [...]

I recycled yogurt cups, so these actually are little containers! see?

365.146: cupcake tops

I began working on these yesterday afternoon, crocheting whenever I had a little break. they’re surprisingly quick to make. I’ll be using some yogurt cups to make little containers [for candy, i think] as party favors for the boys’ birthday party next month. I’m undecided on the base. my first thought was to crochet [...]
