The *Best* Chocolate Cupcakes [With Cocoa Buttercream].
I have made quite a few chocolate cupcakes in my baking days, but I think this recipe takes the cake {pun totally intended}. While I’ve never really met a chocolate cake that I totally hated, there are, of course, several requirements for my ideal chocolate cake. Those requirements are as follows: It has to be […]

Small-Batch Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes.
It’s September, and I’m on the pumpkin train. Truth be told, I have been on the pumpkin train since about August. I’m one of those people who wishes fall would hurry up and get here. Yeah, I even wish away summer at times. I get why some of you summer lovers probably hate people like […]

Vanilla Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting.
This here is one of those less fancy, photos from Instagram posts. You see, full-blown food blog posts are – believe it or not – a lot of work. You have to first test the recipe, hope that it turns out if it’s a new-to-you recipe. Then you have to hope that your food looks […]

Rainbow Cupcakes.
This is not the post for you if you hate and/or are weirded out by artificial coloring and/or sprinkles. This is most definitely the post for you if you: a) love colorful things, and b) you aren’t afraid of ingesting the occasional fake food coloring/chemicals/whatever evil stuff they’re warning us about now.* *[Obviously, moderation is key. You won’t […]

Vanilla Funfetti Cupcakes.
Funfetti is just one of those things that everybody likes. It’s just fun, you know? {I’m punny today. Haha.} When it comes to baking, I often like to poll people on their favorite baked goods. When I ask people what their favorite cake is, most people always respond “funfetti.” I began to wonder why, as it’s […]

{Vegan} Vanilla Cupcakes.
I feel the need to preface this blog post with a statement: I’m pretty much all for the real butter, y’all. *Paula Deen voice.* Rarely will I buy shortening, and I’m not a fan of most vegan “butter.” Real butter is where it’s at. That being said, I do like to experiment with recipes from […]

Mint Chocolate Cupcakes with Mint Buttercream Frosting.
Working for a huge corporation is a funny thing. It takes a while to adapt to that kind of environment [*cough* bureaucracy *cough*], especially straight out of college.* One of the things that has probably helped me the most when adapting to the “real world” – especially in a huge company – has been mentors. […]

Small Batch Vanilla Bean Cupcakes.
Have I mentioned how much I freaking love small batch recipes? Especially these days. As I have mentioned before on the ol’ blog, most of the time, my coworkers and friends reap the benefits of my baking shenanigans. However, there are times in which one of the following scenarios occur: a) I’m not in the mood […]

Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.
As usual, I am a day late – or more like four days late – and a dollar short. I know St. Patty’s [or is it Paddy’s? I don’t really know…] Day has already passed, but I wanted to share the Irish car bomb cupcakes that I made for the occasion anyway. I guess I’m […]

Chocolate Cupcakes // From the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook.
Lately, I’ve been drawn toward simplicity – with regard to both life and baking. I have abandoned my pastry bags and tips. I’ve been longing for simple, not-too-sweet desserts. Also, I’ve been yearning for simple, sunny spring days [read: go away, winter]. These chocolate cupcakes come from The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook, which was gifted to […]
