Dr. Pepper Cupcakes

Alright so I've been searching for a job. Adam asked if he got me hired at Kroger in the bakery if I would bake him a cake. I said sure! Well, I'm 98% sure I have the job so I went ahead and made him some Dr. Pepper cupcakes. Both the cake and the icing use actual dr. pepper however the cake has more of a chocolate cinnamon taste. But they still taste delicious! Kudos to me for succeeding with cake made from scratch.

Red Velvet for Valentines

I made a red velvet heart cake for my boyfriend for Valentines day. I made cupcakes with the extra cake batter. Now I've never had red velvet cake so I wasn't so sure how it'd turn out. But the cake was actually really good. I don't even know how to describe it. I'd say it's a mix of cocoa, vanilla, and almond flavoring. Red Velvet cake is always iced with Cream Cheese icing, I'm sorry but that sounds so disgusting! But surprisingly enough it has a real subtle sweet taste. So I am happy overall.

Chocolate Crumb and Marshmallow Cola

My mom is going to this party later today and she needed a dessert. I offered to make the dessert for her to take it off her hands. My plan was to make Marshmallow Chocolate Muffins. I had my cookbook open and was reading directions, then started making the batter. In the middle of making the batter I realized that I was looking at the opposite page and making Chocolate Crumb Muffins instead. I couldn't just stop and make the others, and I didn't want to throw batter away. So I just kept making them and thought I'd make two desserts for mom so she'd have enough. I made both muffin types and I'm going to assume they came out right.

LanWar takes the Cake

I made some devil's food cupcakes and iced them with holiday icing for Lanwar. I figured Black and Green were nerdy colors so you have a chocolate cake with green icing. They were very yummy and everyone else thought the were a huge hit! Purr-ple said something along the lines of I give cupcakes to people so they eat them and then can't kill me cause they're in mid-bite. *snickers*

Boston Cream

My first recipe made cupcakes are Boston Cream. And a huge success! They're tasty, took awhile to make, but beautiful!

First in the Book

Today when I get home from school I will be making my first cupcakes from my baking cookbook. I am making them for Jon so I asked him to decide on a flavor. He chose Boston Cream. After reading the recipe, they don't seem too difficult to make, so we shall see this afternoon. I want to see if I can use this one icing tip I have to 'inject' the cream into the cupcakes as opposed to just cutting off the top to hallow it and putting cream in them that way.
