I have heard of “one-bowl” recipes that make clean up a cinch because you combine all ingredients in one bowl.  But until now I had not heard of  food processor cupcakes.  Sophistimom made these Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting in the food processor.  Yes, even the frosting is made in the food processor and she claims that if you make the cupcakes as mini’s you can have cupcakes baked from scratch and decorated in under 30 minutes.

My mom sent me a picture text of these cupcake molds that she saw at Ross.  The Blooming cupcake kit, which is available from amazon for $18.95, is by Brand Castle.  Each kit includes 6 silicone molds in the shape of flower pots and one chocolate cupcake mix with vanilla icing. There are also daisy shaped and green sprinkles and a pink icing pen for decorating.

If you are looking for the latest thing in cupcakes, then this is it.  One of our newest ATC Sponsors has hit the market with a bang with these ‘babies’.

What are they exactly? Well these are ‘Batter Babies’ and make creating your two toned cupcakes a breeze!

The way they work is you line your standard baking pan with papers, then insert your Batter Babies into the papers, so they effectively dissect your cupcake into two halves.  Spoon or squirt your first cupcake color, or flavor into the first side and the other color or flavor into the other.  You then remove your Batter Babies and bake!  Too easy, but fantastic results.. so next time you are having a sports party, celebrating something at school, or wanting to create the perfect flavor combination, think about adding these to your baking accessory collection!

I love these Mickey Mouse Cupcakes that Sweet Tooth replicated from a flickr photo.  I actually like Sweet Tooth’s version, which has no fondant better because while I like the look of fondant I think Oreo’s taste better!  These cupcakes are actually really easy since Mickey’s bottom shorts consist of the red cupcake liner with two white circles glued on.  Click on “continue reading” for the rest of the instructions.
