All I can say is I would eat this frosting by the spoonful...in fact, I might have! Chocolate cake with a peanut butter cup hidden inside topped with peanut butter buttercream. That's a mouthful! (pun intended)


Cookies n' cream

Chocolate cake with an oreo stashed inside, topped with cookies n' cream buttercream. Yummmm...

Blue and Gold

This was a fun job I recently did, though this is just the rough draft before the cardboard got all fancied up with foil and the cupcakes got centered. It is the Arrow of Light which is the highest rank in Cub Scouting which the boys receive before becoming a Boy Scout. The cakes are chocolate or vanilla with colored vanilla buttercream.

Mocha-lua

These bad boys are super sweet, and not for the faint of heart! Mocha cake topped with Kahlua frosting, and let's just say my hand was a wee bit heavy on the addition of Kahlua, he he he...

Maple Whiskey Bacon

This is going in my favorite top ten. The title pretty much says it all, but it's yellow cake topped with maple whiskey bacon buttercream and garnished with fresh bacon. It works man, it really works.

Pistachio-stachio

One last holiday cupcake forced on everyone I know. I wanted to do something different and I had a conversation with someone that I can't remember about some pistachio cake her mom or grandma used to make and how it was amazing. If you read this and it is you, please tell me.  I came up with this little cake out of my head though. It is yellow pistachio cake with pistachio buttercream. The cake ended up very moist though it did fall a little.


eggnog cupcakes

I wanted to make an eggnog cupcake for the holidays, but couldn't figure out what kind of cake to make. I ended up doing a box mix (shhhh...blasphemy...) that was caramel apple flavor since it was sitting in my cupboard. It was okay, but the frosting with eggnog was super yummy. I think next time a homemade cinnamon nutmegy yellow cake should do just fine.
