Posted by on Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Ahhh … finally home with my family in good ol’ New Hampshire. After a long day of traveling yesterday I was ready to get back to my parents house and settle in with a cup of hot chocolate, or maybe eggnog or even hot mulled apple cider, that would be perfect! But what if you could have any of these in the form of the Cupcake? Well no need for you to look up the recipe, I have done that for you.

National Cupcake Day

Posted by on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

December 15th is officially National Cupcake Day.  Yes, there are other cupcake days, but they are centered around certain flavors:

National Chocolate Cupcake Day on Oct 18
National Vanilla Cupcake Day on Nov 10

In this spirit, I also want to share my favorite  Monkey Face Cupcakes.  I’ve had a blast making these with my kids, and they had a great time eating and playing with the fondant as if it was Playdoh.

Any cupcake cake or icing would be fine as the fun part really lies within making the monkey faces toppers; hoever,  if I were making this to impress, I would match it with this Banana Bread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.

For the topper itself, Aine explains the process:

Another option would be to not make an entire head, but just the face.  The face can then be applied on top of the cupcake and icing similar to these cupcake below from prettysweet boutique.

Countdown to Christmas Cupcakes …

Posted by on Sunday, December 13th, 2009

So today we start the Countdown to  Christmas Cupcakes …Everyday until Christmas I will post decorating ideas for those lovely Cupcakes that you will all be making for your friends and family this Holiday Season. My team and I also discussed this idea and we know that not everyone celebrates Christmas so I will be fitting in other Holidays that occur during this time.

If any of you readers have any of your Christmas creations or ideas you want to share with us we would love to have them. Even if you find an interesting cupcake liner or topper for Christmas or any of the other Holidays such as Chanukah and Kwanzaa please share with us.

I myself may even share some of my lovely Christmas Creations with everyone.

So lets get this show on the road …

Today I present you with the one and only Marthas Stewart, and her creation.

These are a lovely way to break yourself into the season with these  Holly Cupcakes. They remind me of the snow and Christmas Wreaths … These would also be great to make with your lil’ ones!
