Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
If you haven’t tried this combination yet, get on it! (Truthfully, I hadn’t before this cake either.) A friend requested this cake for his birthday recently, so I dug up two tried and true recipes. The first, for the cake, was the Perfectly Chocolate Cake recipe. Instead of cupcakes, I made two 9″ round cakes. […]
Pumpkin Cheesecake Frosting
As you may remember, I had a few cupcakes left over after the great nugget experiment of 2012. Not wanting the remainder to go to waste, I decided to frost them. And, since it’s technically autumn (despite the temperature fluctuating from 106ºF to 65ºF back up to 92ºF in the course of 10 days), I wanted to […]
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Recently, a birthday order was placed by a friend. The theme was Casino Royale, and she wanted an old world Monte Carlo feel to the party. She wanted the cupcakes to match the elegance of everything else she had in store for the evening, so she requested Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting and gold […]

Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes

In fact I may not have entered at all if my friend Ale hadn’t placed an order with me for a dozen pumpkin spice cupcakes to have on hand for some weekend visitors. My […]
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
I’ve been dying to make these forever. When I first found the recipe, I was too much of a chicken to make actual cinnamon rolls, but by the time I got around to making them it was more like I just didn’t want to wait through all the steps of a real one. I ended […]
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
Here’s a belated Valentine’s treat for you. I found these on Annie’s Eats, and I couldn’t resist making them for the coworkers before the long weekend. They didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, I suspect overmixing was the cause, but they certainly looked cute! I heard from most everyone that they were extremely […]
