Double Stuffed Cupcakes

Double deliciousness!!:)

These cupcakes are stuffed with an Oreo cookie and a cheesecake filling-

over the top yummy!;)

The way I would describe the cupcake would be layers of Oreo goodness all wrapped up in a scrumptious cupcake package!!!

Try it-you'll see;)

Here's the rundown~a little virtual tour:

fill liner 1/4 the way with cake batter

top that with an Oreo

top it off with more batter

Bake at 350 degrees for 17 to 20 mins.

Cool.

Fill with cheesecake filling.

Frost with Buttercream Frosting.

Then feel free to enjoy;)

"Funfetti" Cupcakes

I was inspired to try my version of Funfetti by Little Bitty Bakes blog-this girl does everything funfetti!! I'm talking granola bars, pancakes and even oatmeal!!

Instead of using funfetti cake mix I used sprinkles as my fetti in a basic white cake recipe.

Here's to a Valentine's Day cupcake!!

I used Magnolia Bakery's buttercream frosting recipe.

I used softsilk cake flour this time hoping for a lighter cake but it was still a little dense-I think it's me and something I'm doing wrong-I'm going to keep trying different recipes:)

My "funfetti":)

I just poured the sprinkles in with the cake mix.

poured them into liners and baked them.

I used pink melting candy to make these hearts.

Frosted the cupcakes

Maybe more sprinkle???;)

Enjoy!!

Chocolate Cupcake with Caramel Icing

Aren't these sooo pretty!!

I love the way the Caramel Icing is dripping down the cupcake!

I think Caramel and Chocolate totally belong together-sooo yummy!:)

I found this recipe here over a year ago and made them shortly after-finally getting around to posting them;)

They really look nothing like they were supposed to-the frosting wouldn't stiffen up so hence the Icing-which I thought looked really cool! Except that I decided to use paper liners on these and when you pulled the paper off some of the delicious Icing pulled off with 'em:(

Overall they were good but kinda dry-this always happens to me when I make from scratch cake...Any suggestions???

I've heard that you MUST sift and all ingredients should be at room temperature.

Is there any other tricks to making scratch cakes??

I really love my box mixes, but would like to figure this out cuz supposedly{;)} scratch tastes sooo much better!

Anyway these are your basic chocolate cake ingredients:

flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs and milk.

They have 3 oz. of melted semi-sweet chocolate added-you could add what you like.

I added milk chocolate instead, I think a German sweet chocolate would be really yummy:)

Frosting Ingredients:

butter, brown sugar, milk and powdered sugar.

Cook the butter and brown sugar together for a couple minutes, stir in milk and start adding powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!!

Cinnamon Dolce White Chocolate Cupcakes

This cupcake for Merry Mondays is an ode to my sister:)

Her favorite drink from Starbucks is the Cinnamon Dolce White Chocolate Mocha.

I can't believe this is the last Merry Monday-it's been so much fun!!

Thanks Taylor and Claire for teaming up to host!!

This is one sweet cupcake and I'm told it tastes exactly like the drink-Yay!! I've never actually tasted this drink but I might sneak a taste next time she gets it;)

I love the sweetness of the white chocolate paired with the spicy cinnamon and then there is the meringue filling-to die for good!!!

Our inspiration:)

We started with a basic white cake mix which we added the cinnamon dolce syrup to.

We wanted really light and airy cupcakes so we used egg whites and they were perfectly fluffy:)

Cut out the center...

then over flowed them with the meringue filling..

topped them off with a delectable white chocolate frosting/glaze.

A sprinkle of spicy Saigon cinnamon finished them off quite perfectly!

Enjoy these with a cup of strong coffee;)

Merry Monday to you all!!

Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes

In honor of Easter being just around the corner and my husband's love for the Cadbury Creme Eggs, I have come up with a Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcake!!

The end result.... do you see the middle oozing out just like a Cadbury egg?!? Here is how i did it:

First, use a French Vanilla cake mix and make the cupcakes as directed on the box. Let cool. Meanwhile you can start your filling.

For the Filling:
1/2 Cup light corn syrup

1/4 Cup butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. salt

3 Cups powdered sugar

1-3 Tbsp. milk

Optional: add 4 drops yellow and 2 drops red food coloring (I chose to not do this.)

Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well, slowing adding the milk until creamy and resembles the creme from inside the Cadbury Egg. If you are using the food coloring, add at this time.

Once your cupcakes have cooled completely, take a knife and carve a small inverted cone out of your cupcake. Hint: Hold you knife at a slant so it will make the cone.

Remove the cone from the top of the cupcake and set aside.

Next, take a spoon and carefully remove some of the inside of the cupcake to make a well for your creme. Be sure not to take any more cupcake from the edge so your cone will fit back into the cupcake nicely.

Carefully spoon a small amount of the creme mixture into the cupcake.

Leave a good amount of space so the top will fit back on your cupcake.

Place your the top back onto the cupcake, pressing gently.

You can barely tell the top was even taken off! :)

For the Frosting:

Note: The frosting i used was pretty sweet and i would have preferred a more milk chocolate frosting. I would also consider cutting this recipe in half if you don't want to use lots of frosting! So if you have a good recipe for frosting, go ahead and use it! Also, let me know how it turns out!

1/4 Cup butter

4 Cups powdered sugar

1/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder

6 Tbsp. Half-and-half, light cream or milk

1 tsp. vanilla

*In a medium mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating well. Slowly beat in half-and-half and vanilla. Gradually beat in the remaining powdered sugar. If necessary, beat in additional half-and-half to make spreadable.

Frost your cupcakes!!

They are ready to enjoy!!
