Cupcakes from the past few months...

So I've been a slacker lately. Not in the making cupcakes department, but in the putting the pictures online department. So here's what I've been making lately....

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CUPCAKES

MMM Peanut Butter and Jelly. I don't remember where I got the recipe from, but it was amazing. 
And they even had strawberry jelly inside!!

FRENCH TOAST BACON CUPCAKES


French Toast Bacon Cupcakes. Holy cow. I didn't think a cupcake could ACTUALLY taste like French toast....but they did.









I thought the bacon on the top was totally weird, and not good. But they were good without the bacon!
The  (think) the recipe I used can be found HERE!













VODKA CUPCAKES

So I made the mistake of continually adding vodka to the frosting. These seriously tasted like a shot of vodka. I used UV Cake flavored vodka in the cake, and cherry flavored vodka in the frosting. And I have no idea what recipe I used, but I just substituted vodka in the place of water in both the frosting and the cake mix.

GIANT CUPCAKE



Ethan was sick of me making homemade cupcakes and frosting, all he wanted was a mix and store bought frosting, so I made him this giant chocolate/vanilla frosting cupcake, and also put chocolate frosting inside. He loved it. 





KOOL AID

I can't find the original recipe I used for this cupcake either, but you just add Kool Aid to the frosting and cake mix. I used Black Cherry flavor. A little too much Black Cherry in the frosting.


CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CUPCAKES

These were pretty awesome. Just plain yellow cake, vanilla frosting, mini chocolate chips.

With chocolate chip cookie batter baked in the middle! Yum.
This recipe can be found HERE!

RED VELVET

This one was another Ethan request. Plain old red velvet with creme cheese frosting.

With a healthy dose of chocolate frosting on the inside!

ORANGE SODA

I may have already added these before. But they were my favorite, so that's okay. Recipe can be found here. I strongly recommend making these if you love orange soda.

HALLOWEEN CUPCAKES

Erin and I made these for Halloween. The recipe is from the Wilton website.

BEEHIVE CAKE

So this looked a little better before I tried to put an extra layer of frosting on it. But I made this for Erin's birthday using the giant cupcake pan.

I was chocolate cake with creme cheese frosting and creme cheese frosting in the middle.

I have lots more to add, but the pictures aren't downloaded onto my computer yet, so we'll save those for another time. And I got some great cupcake decorating books, so the upcoming ones are more for looks, not so much for taste. (which I'm sure my taste testers aren't too fond of!)
