Unique Cupcake Flavors
Our friends at Best Friends for Frosting call these “crazy” but I’m sort of afraid to use that term. I mean, people already think I am little off kilter why give them any more reason to call me crazy? I have to admit Molly at BFFF found some rather unusual combinations for cupcakes. Avocado? Kale? Shoot,…
Shoofly Pie Cupcakes
These cupcakes take me back to my Pennsylvania childhood. Yes, I was raised in Pennsylvania Dutch country where most “traditional” food is considered “comfort” food elsewhere. Fried food and carbohydrates were staples along with pies, cakes, and various other baked goods. Healthy food it was not. But I have to admit I was sort…

Baseball Cupcakes
Baseball has been a favorite way to enjoy summer for, well, a long time. Maybe the game moves so slow because it’s so hot? Ok, I made that up. But it’s the time of year for T-ball, little league, and professional baseball. And with Father’s Day coming up, lots of folks will be enjoying a…
Blueberry Cream Cheese Cupcakes
I absolutely love blueberries and wish the season lasted longer than it does. Seems like by the time I realize it is blueberry season it is already over.

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Most of the gluten free baking recipes I have seen have a complicated list of ingredients. This recipe from Against all Grain uses only almond flour, honey and coconut oil along with fresh strawberries. The frosting is an Italian meringue made from egg white and honey. Fresh strawberries can be used in the frosting as well….
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Cups
It’s no secret that I am a chocolate and peanut butter lover. Very Best Baking put them both together in a cookie shaped like a cupcake. If you bake it in a muffin tin, it counts as a cupcake. The best part is these yummy mini treats “self frost” (I just made that up!) with melted…
Chocolate Salted Caramel Mini Cupcakes
What could be more decadent than dark chocolate cake with caramel in the middle? I can’t seem to think of anything right now, mainly because I am thinking ONLY of these cupcakes. Rich Chocolate and Salted Caramel. The End. Thank you Bake or Break! Chocolate Salted Caramel Mini Cupcakes Prep Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 30…
Gluten Free Baking Conversion Tips
Gluten free is not something I am all that familiar with and I suspect there are a number of you struggling with converting regular cupcake recipes to gluten free or at least to use a reduced amount of flour / gluten based ingredients. The fine folks at GYGI simplified the conversion process with this chart…
Root Beer Float Cupcakes
I do believe summer has arrived! Well, in most parts of the US anyway. I vaguely recall seeing snow, horrible amounts of snow, blanketing certain northern parts of the country. No thank you. But today we are going to believe it is summer and have a root beer float. Oh yes, in a cupcake! Chocolatey…
