A couple of years ago, I acquired a book called Cupcakes by a woman named Susanna Tee. I’ve only made one recipe from that book, and I enjoyed it, but it was more muffin-y than cupcake-y (mainly because there was no frosting involved). It’s a small book, only around 80 pages with 30 recipes, but […]

For Thanksgiving, why not get baked.
By baked I mean bake something- in this instance, donuts. When I bought my donut pan it came with a recipe that sounded really delicious: spiced cake donuts with glaze. Doesn’t that sound good? I thought they’d be great to have on Thanksgiving. Of course, I can’t let people down, I did make cupcakes as […]
She’s a lady… whoa, whoa, whoa.
Before I start rhapsodizing about cheese-covered macaroni, I want to give you all a heads up. Yoyo gave me a widget specially for all you Cupcake Rehab readers (it’s over there to the right, below the ads). Using the code ‘CUPCAKEREHAB’ is good for 20% off all her merchandise! I know, right? And ’tis the […]

Shimmy shimmy cocoa donut, shimmy shimmy pop.
Chocolate glazed cake donuts are my favorite, and they always have been. I remember being a kid, and my grandpa would go and buy donuts, and I’d always eat all the chocolate ones. Even the chocolate Munchkins from Dunkin’ Donuts at kids birthday parties in school- I’d eat all of those too. The real chocolate […]
Ladies & gentlemen… the Spice girls!
I just stumbled on a blog post written about me that is so cute & sweet, I wanted to share it. Thank you, Food Love! I know, I’m pretty amazing. *wink* It still stuns me that anyone comes here and reads my little ol’ website, so I get kinda giddy reading stuff like that. Makes […]
Beautiful berry pie by food stylist Theresa Sakata … Another Military Monday is here. I hope that at least one day a week we can put aside partisan attitudes and theories and agree that we should be better to our veterans in this country, and we should treat our injured soldiers better, and of course […]
Veteran’s Day.
Coming from a family that has a long military history, Veteran’s Day is always important to me. That’s part of the reason why as soon as Yoyo asked me to, I began to participate in Military Monday. My great-great-great grandfather, Albert Hebrank, fought in the Civil War. In 1861, he was an immigrant, right off […]
A new spin on pumpkin muffins.
Edit: there’s a newer version of this recipe! Click here! A bunch of stuff has been going on lately, and I’m kind of all over the place (not to mention still fighting off this disgusting cold that just won’t die… it’s like a bad zombie movie: Night of the Living Mucus). I wanted to thank […]
