Does the name Johnny Cupcakes ring a bell to anyone? Well if it doesn’t, it should and it will.

Johnny Cupcakes all started when a young man named Johnny was given the name Johnny Cupcakes while working at Newbury Comics. He used this nickname as inspiration for designing t-shirts with the  name ‘Johnny Cupcakes’ on them, obviously the t-shirts had Cupcakes on them! (click here to read more about his story)

He started selling these t-shirts out of the back of his trunk, and people went wild for them. And people are STILL wild for them. He has 2 east coast shops, one in Hull Massachusetts and one in Boston Massachusetts. He also has a brand new store that just opened up on the west coast in LA.

Bleeding Heart Bakery of Illinois looks like my kind of bakery! Bright colors and yummy looking creations.

All of their pastries are cutting edge and thought provoking. All of their ingredients are local and organic. This sounds like a the perfect combination for some yummy creations.

Now onto the cupcakes! They have 2 categories of cupcakes – Plain Jane and Fancy Schmancy.  There is only a 50 cent difference between the two. This months  Plain Jane choices are Slash, Red Velvet , Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting, Chocolate/peanut butter and Chocolate Raspberry. I vote for Chocolate Raspberry! And then for the Fancy Schmancy we have Strawberry Shortcake, Veruca Salt , Ginger Mint Mojito and Bananas Foster. I’m getting a tooth ache just thinking about these flavors!

Road trip anyone?

I just recently moved into my new place and haven’t the chance to bake anything for a while because I was in between two places. So after getting just about everything set in my new place I decided finally to bake something.

I took a nod from Monica at Lick The Bowl Good and her Mini Oreo Cheesecakes she made a while ago. I know these aren’t exactly cupcakes but they are verrrrry close!  I wasn’t sure if I wanted to follow Monica’s recipe or try my own. I decided to venture into a no bake cheesecake since i haven’t done that yet. I modified this No-Bake Cheesecake recipe a bit and made it my own, plus I added ‘Spring time’ Oreos!

No-Bake Oreo Mini-Cheesecakes

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese @ room temperature
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream,
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 24 oreos

Place 14-16(mine made about 14 cakes, but it can make more depending how much you fill them)  oreos into cupcake liners. Take the rest of the oreos and place them in a zip-lock bag and  crush them with a rolling pin or anything else that will do the job. Whip one cup of the heavy whipping cream until stiff
(don’t mix it too much or it will turn into butter) and set aside. Mix cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and sugar into there are no more lumps and it is smooth. Fold in whipped cream to cream cheese mixture. (I had to use a whisk to get it mixed in well) Mix in about 3/4’s of the crushed Oreos into the mixture. Divide mixture evenly between the cupcake liners. Top with leftover crushed oreos. Refrigerate over night and enjoy!
