Another baked cocktail recipes, these Limey Mojito Cupcakes have a little mint, a little lime, and kick of rum in them. We don't have any kids. And we're not all that religious. So, to us Easter is a Sunday where we eat ham and potatoes and green bean casserole. That's about it. It's the grocery shopping, laundry doing, watch a movie and loaf day. Usually. That's pretty much what we did today, too. I had to hit two stores. Missy's food is not a regular brand … [Read more...]
Hazelnut Latte Cupcakes with Optional Glaze or Frosting
Hazelnut Latte Cupcakes are moist, delicious, and full of hazelnut latte flavor! I thought it was Spring? I mean, it's sort of contradictory when I bring in cupcakes in Spring wrappers and it's doing THIS outside: Seriously, I thought it was Spring? We had the equinox and everything, didn't we?? Was there some sort of bizarre time travel and it's February again? Speaking of February, I'm headed to Colombia again in April. I can't wait, but I'm kind of nervous.

Pineapple Bliss Cupcakes
Pineapple Bliss Cupcakes I made this as a cake. Don't. I've never tried the pumpkin version of this. After this attempt, I'm not sure I will. The cake was crumbly. VERY crumbly. I mean, it just fell apart in the pan when I was trying to cut it. In all the years of baking cake, from scratch or a box, I've NEVAH had that happen. EVER! It wasn't dry. It was rather good. I didn't make the fluff topping for it. I'm not a fan of fluff. To me, the picture looks like cottage cheese … [Read more...]
Tropical Banana Cupcakes
Tropical Banana Cupcakes COASTAL LIVING, MARCH 2012 I took this idea and altered it it a bit. I reduced the fat, but I'm not sure by how much. I used Egg Beaters and ICBNB. I didn't include the coconut and used pecans. Then I made a basic cream cheese frosting with RF cream cheese and powdered sugar with about 2 T of ICBNB mixed in. I'm not sure I would say these are "cupcakes." The batter is more like a quick bread batter than a cake batter. I'd call them muffins … [Read more...]
