Well, technically, these are closer to muffins but I call them cupcakes. Another blogger said these tasted like Krispy Creme doughnuts so I was intrigued and baked a batch. The taste did not remind me of Krispy Kreme much at all so I asked my co-workers to sample them for feedback. Nope, didn’t remind them…

Peanut Butter Maple Frosting
For something different, just a frosting recipe. A yummy different frosting recipe. This would work wonderfully with either your favorite chocolate or vanilla cupcake. Or just about any flavor of cupcake. It’s all about the frosting this time around, at least that is what Oh SO Delicioso said. Ingredients 1/2 c salted butter, room temperature…
Fig Spice Cupcakes
As delicious as these cupcakes sound, the Honey Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting sounds even better! You can use fresh figs or (re hydrated) dried figs to make the cupcake. A spicy Fig Newton with frosting! Something different and quite delicious. This recipe is courtesy of Love & Olive Oil. Ingredients: Cupcakes: 1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour…
Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
Is it a cookie or a cupcake? Or maybe it is just the best of both! It’s a cupcake that tastes like your favorite snickerdoodle cookie. You’ll want a tall glass of cold milk when you eat one of these! Leave it to Martha Stewart to bring back childhood memories through baking. Ingredients 1…
Ice Cream Filled Cupcakes
Cake and ice cream is a staple of almost every birthday party from childhood to adulthood. But keeping the two separate always seems to slow down the eating. I always seem to eat the cake BEFORE the ice cream makes it’s way around the room. Here is an easy and fun way to combine…
Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
When is a cupcake sort of not a cupcake? When it is really cheesecake! I have never been a big fan of making a real cheesecake from scratch mainly because making the graham cracker crust is a messy pain. The beauty of these mini cheesecakes…I mean cupcakes…is the Oreo cookie is the crust! Perfection! I…
Easter Surprise Cupcakes
These cupcakes are like an Easter egg hunt – there is a chocolate egg baked inside! Easier to find and so very delicious to eat. Go a little crazy with the frosting and use food coloring of your choice for a rainbow of colors. This recipe is courtesy of the folks at Domino Sugar. Ingredients:…
Easter Chicks Cupcakes
We have been remiss here at Cupcake Fanatic by not including any baby chicks in our cupcake decorating. Easter just isn’t Easter without some baby chicks and these cupcakes remind me of marshmallow Peeps. Sort of. Instead of marshmallow, these chicks are all about coconut. Betty Crocker keeps it cute and simple which is almost always…
Carrot Cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing
Doesn’t a carrot cake count sort of as a vegetable? Just a little bit? And this recipe uses pineapple so you could sort of count it as a fruit. Right? Either way, these are yummy with a bit of a twist with white chocolate in the frosting. A whole lot to love in this recipe…
Spring Flower Cupcakes
I do believe spring is just around the corner. For some folks, winter turned ugly this year so it’s time to celebrate spring with some fun and pretty flower cupcakes! These would be a perfect afternoon project for the kids to get involved in since you can use any cupcake recipe (or box mix) and…
Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Are these not just about the cutest cupcakes you have seen for Easter? I love that the decorations are probably something we all have in the pantry and not something we have to buy for the sole purpose of decorating cupcakes. This decorating idea is courtesy of Creations by Kara. Easter Bunny Cupcakes What you…
Raspberry Easter Egg Cupcakes
Looking for something a little different for Easter? How about a cupcake made with fresh raspberries! Sounds downright almost healthy, doesn’t it? If you would like a darker or more vibrant pink shade, just add a bit more food coloring to the batter. The delicious raspberry flavor of the cupcake is topped off by…
