Peeps Cupcakes

I'm pretty certain these are the cutest things I have ever made. Peeps don't actually do it for me as a treat, but they sure do sweeten up a cupcake. What better way to celebrate Easter than biting the heads off of marshmallow animals? The vanilla cake is light and delicious and I had fun using my sprinkles to decorate the white frosting. I'm a fan of the old school yellow chicks, but did branch out and used some bunnies...because I love bunnies. They're fun.

Maple Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

To celebrate my officemate's birthday, and her love of my baked goodness, I made these little beauties. Maple cake is how syrup should be done. Not overly sweet, it is a perfect backdrop for my favorite thing ever - cream cheese frosting.

VDay Cupcakes (booze included)

To celebrate vday, frosting, and dinner with my family, I decided to make yummy heart-shaped cupcakes this past weekend. To celebrate vday, drinking, and dinner with my family, I made them with Guinness. Chocolate and Guinness are soul mates. (NOTE: I am aware that these pictures are horrible. Sorry. I couldn't manage a good shot, and really just wanted to eat a cupcake....so I did.)

Funfetti!

I firmly believe that everyone should have a homemade cake (or cupcake!) to celebrate a birthday. This holds true starting in kindergarten when moms bake late night treats for entire classrooms, and should continue through grown up responsibilities. These funfetti cupcakes were made in honor of my boss's birthday and to celebrate my love of sprinkles!
