I had some left over white chocolate from the Daring Baker’s challenge, and since there was a severe lack of baked goods in the house and people were starting to revolt- I made these. Vanilla cupcakes with double chocolate chip frosting (double chocolate because its white chocolate buttercream with semi-sweet chocolate chips). Sound good? Then […]

DARING BAKER’S CHALLENGE: Opéra Cake!!!
I admit, when I first read the Daring Baker’s Challenge for May, Opéra Cake, I had two thoughts run through my head. One; ARE THEY CRAZY? and two; I thought of Adam Sandler’s Opera Man. My first thought was a bit judgemental. I thought that it seemed very daunting- as well as complicated and tedious, […]
My friend Samantha‘s mom, I’m told, is a fan of the site (hi, Mrs. Urban!) So when she recently made the red velvet cupcakes that I posted a few weeks back and sent a picture of them, I had to post them: Lookin’ good! Hope you enjoyed them! I’m so glad people actually enjoy reading […]

Fashionably Sweet & Tart Momma’s Day Cupcakes.
Today, class I bring you a lighter recipe. Something very different from my previous post (red velvet is a heavy recipe, this is not). Although it should be noted that its nothing groundbreaking, nothing earth-shattering, nothing that hasn’t been done before or that uses sushi flavoring or something weird. I don’t really do “weird.” Well, […]
I made a post like this once before, and I actually am still not over the variety of places my visitors come from. So, of course, a part two was in order. Thanks to sitemeter for this info, by the way (plug, plug). Okay first I wanna start off with visitors outside the U.S., because […]
Yeah I know- its black velvet. But thats not the kind of cupcakes I made, so it wouldn’t do. And speaking of Alannah Myles, that was definitely a creepy song, wasn’t it? Why was she singing about black velvet, a little boy and religion bringing you to your knees? Weird. Maybe I missed the point […]
