Tie-Dye Cupcakes

It’s a cold, rainy day today which is a great excuse to bake (not that I really need an excuse). I really wanted a delicious vanilla cupcake but I wanted to make it more creative…so I thought tie-dye! They came out very pretty and I topped it off with silky vanilla buttercream. Delicious!

Shirley Temple Cupcakes

Shout out to The Curvy Carrot where I found this fantastic recipe. These cupcakes really do taste like a Shirley Temple. When I was young, I loved this beverage and since I don’t drink alcohol, I’m thinking I may need to revisit it.

Colossal Apple Spice Cake Pops

I wanted to incorporate my love of baking into my wedding somehow, but I knew that preparing the cake & desserts would add just a little too much stress for me on my special day. Instead I thought it would be a particularly special touch to create the favors. I was able to prepare them ahead of time and box them up in a cute way. For 40 cake pops, I multiplied the recipe below by six.

Birthday Cake Truffles

I recently made way too many cupcakes for a party. I knew having a dozen frosted cupcakes in my home was dangerous so I decided to do something creative with them; I’m a big fan of “repurposing” leftover desserts. I made these fun cake truffles out of the cupcakes and brought them to work. Delicious!

I actually used my Vanilla Cupcakes with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting but you can use any cake and frosting you’d like.
