Banana Creme Pie Cupcakes

Before annihilation.

These things are not joking. Hope you like pudding.

Mama Gonzalez Pineapple Cupcakes

Theres a BBQ tonight at my girl Pam’s house for her Mom, Figured these would be a good partner to some guatemalan food stuffs. I’ve been having quite an obsession with pineapple these days…this not only has pineapple in the cake but a pineapple flower on top – those badboys are hard to make. Good luck with that.  If you want to give it a try – go here

Morning After Cupcakes

This did not go as planned.  I had grand dreams of making 3 different but equally good kinds for Becky’s shower that would blow her mind and she’d be 1 million pounds heavier on her wedding.  1 nameless kind exploded in my oven and left my kitchen smelling like salty cookies. Then, I got out my camera to take pictures. Broken. Meh. It probably didn’t help that Zoe and I breezed through a bottle of wine and champagne while assembling all of this.  Mimosa cupcakes make up for all of it.  Its a lot of work, but the simplicity was perfect for a boozy morning shower with friends.

Spiked Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes

These are a holiday take on my earlier experiment with Chocolate Cherry, but better because there’s alcohol? This frosting seems to let the cherry come through in the cake more than the original chocolate frosting. I also tried to get all martha by attempting some candy cane swirls.  My hands look bloody, but hey it tastes good. Don’t worry about it.  

Drunken Hazelnut Nutella Cupcakes

Alcohol, check. Nutella, check.  The only 2 things that matter in life are in this cupcake. I may or may not have cleaned the empty Nutella container with a spoon. Whatever, eff off.  Apologies for my less than spectacular photos, I might have been drunk.

Black Velvet Blackberry Cupcakes

We had Karaoke at our holiday party this year. I was inspired by one of the great songs in everyones repetoire, Black Velvet.  This cupcake is just as addictive as the song, only classier.  This is definitely in my top 10 all time.  If you’re looking for something sophisticated without sugar hangover, try this.

Boo! I made cupcakes. Pumpkin Apple Crisp.

Yep, its been an obnoxiously long time. But have no fear, I couldn’t resist passing up Halloween Cupcakes.  These guys are a freak of nature, combining Pumpkin AND apple crisp. I know, crazy.  They came out pretty darn good.
