Bluetooth from a Blackberry



I looove blackberry season and all the nummy things I get to make from the freshly picked palm tinting treats. High in anti-oxidants, juicy, organic and free... you can't beat that!

I've made blackberry jam, blackberry crisp and now... blackberry streusel muffins! Want a bite?

Oh, BTW... I'm now officially in the process of forming my business plan and designing my cupcake van. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before things are up and running and I can finally share the sugar! Yay!

Deadly Sugar Daddy's



In honor of fathers day, I made these Sugar Daddy cupcakes (Better late than never right?? Especially when it comes to cupcakes! )..

This is a moist caramel and brown sugar cake with a creamy caramel center that is topped with a whipped caramel frosting and a Sugar Baby!

My eye's were crossed for hours after making these sinful sugary treats.... What could be better than a diabetic in a cupcake factory?? HA! Don't worry... I'll be working on the low-sugar versions next ;)

Salted caramel with dark chocolate





Here's a couple different variations on the Salted Caramel cupcakes. Both have a gooey caramel center surrounded by a moist rich dutch cocoa cake... one frosted with a whipped dark chocolate frosting and the other has a fluffy caramel frosting....

Breakfast anyone?

Maple french toast with bacon cupcakes, who would'a thunk it? As soon as I heard of these, I HAD to try them! The flavor is one of my favs... I mean, you can't go wrong with maple syrup and bacon...

... but as it turned out, I'm not quite happy with this recipe so of course I'll be adding my usual tweaks to this one. That means more freebies up for grabs!


Jimmy Buffet Special

MMMMM... How about some organic pina colada cupcakes with pineapple-rum frosting? Okay, so the rum isn't really organic, but everything else is!

I've been wanting to try this new recipe for a while now and dare I say.. it's almost perfect. Just a few more tweaks and this one will be ready for it's debut! So who's brave enough to eat all my experiments?? I guess I'll send these to Mrs Hahn's going-away dinner tonight... there's nothing quite like an entire classroom full of Waldorf kids on SUGAR...YAY!!

Have cupcakes will travel


To wander or not to wander.. that is the question. While contemplating new ideas and trying to think of a niche.. BAM.. I saw it! Could this be the answer I've been looking for? There, tucked away behind a tiny thrift store, was an old neglected ice-cream truck.... poor lonely gas hungry hunk of nostalgic metal...sitting all by itself just waiting for a second chance on life. I wonder....

Hmmm... maybe there's some way to retro fit this thing into using biofuel... add some pink paint.. some new tires.. a few cupcakes and wa'la! My new portable cupcake shop! What do you think?!
