1st post off my old cupcake blog moved over
I have made these many times since, also made a massive batch that was requested for a funeral.. About 80 cupcakes all up. Pics are crap compared to my new camera (luvv)

I felt like baking and jam… and trying out the much famed vanilla vanilla magnolia cupcake recipe. Of course you could use whatever jam you have on hand. I desperately wanted a cream cheese frosting but darn it there was none in the fridge (surprise surprise this stuff doesn’t last long around here), and for reasons I will not mention but are painfully related to cycling to and from work I did not feel like walking to the supermarket!! OW.

Recipe, pics after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
These are so, so good.

This is my second batch so I can pretty much guarantee that if you like coconut and dense cakes then you will like these. And cherries. I have more of a glace cherry addiction than I like to admit and nothing beats biting into what appears to be a plain cake and finding hidden whole glace cherries in there. Ohh baby.

well i tried to make some super yum cupcakeys for my awesome friend Hong but I had no cocoa… so I tried my best to make do with what random ingredients I had… so I found this recipe on epicurious and modified it a tad. The original recipe calls for 200grams of chocolate all up.

recipe + pics after the jump…
I have been wasting time/self educating myself on all sorts of random things today.. wordpress, css, a bit of study for my Microsoft 50-236 exam, SLR’s, organizing my recipe collection when I think I have made a bit of a discovery…
i think there is some kind of link between baking/cupcake decorating/general awesomeness and being a female software engineer/programmer/real life girl geek. for my proof i bring you the all round greatness of:
hellonaomi
chockylit’s cupcake bake shop
the cupcake fairy
and im sure there are probably more. weird. very weird. anyone care to psychoanalyze?
I did a swap at work, lunch for cupcakes! I thought I got a pretty sweet deal

ahhh I finally got around to upgrading my wordpress so I can post again
right! first things first…
for my 21st I said i would bake the cake if someone bought me the tin i wanted (hey, saved my folks the cost of buying a cake :P) so of course I requested the new Wilton dimenstions cupcake tin

well the first tricky thing was finding a cake recipe to use. more after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
