Luck o’ the Irish: Bailey’s Irish cream cupcakes.

So being (mostly) Irish (roughly 40%, which while less than half of my complete makeup, is more than the other nationalities by far), this holiday is kind of a big deal for me. It’s pretty awesome if you’re a New Yorker- our parade is one of the best (aside from a few over rowdy drunken [...]

Merry little mini-mint cupcakes.

I’ve been slackin’ with the recipes. I know, my bad. I’ve been sort of lazy, but sort of busy at the same time. Haven’t done much baking lately, save for an experimental brownie/blondie recipe that I’m still working on. But seeing as how St. Patrick’s Day is coming up rapidly, I thought I’d do a [...]

“Waiter, there’s fungi in my risotto!”

Before I get started talking about fungus, I wanna say how much I appreciate all my readers and fans. There’s no smooth transition between talking about fungi and my fans, or vice versa, so I won’t even try. I just wanted to tell you all that I really do appreciate you, every single one of [...]

Homemade sauce from mia cucina.

I’ve posted this recipe previously over at my other site, Cooking the Books, but I thought maybe you Cupcake Rehab readers who don’t know about/don’t read CTB might be interested in this recipe. It’s one of the best and simplest sauce recipes I’ve ever tasted/experienced. Now, I don’t come from an Italian family, so I [...]

Hot buttered rum cupcakes, for all your drunk relatives.

…Or your drunk friends. Or your drunken self.
Sorry I’ve been MIA on the recipe front. It’s been a busy time of year, as usual. There are trees to put up, lights to hang, gifts to buy, etc. And this year has been made slightly busier because Miss Yoyo came to town this week, and we [...]

FUCK YOU Cupcakes. Yeah, I said it.

I’m not directing the ‘Fuck You’ at the cupcakes, I meant that these are ‘Fuck You’ cupcakes.
I think that everyone has had a reason, at some point, to make such cupcakes. I’ve had many. Most of which will remain unnamed and anonymous, but to name a few: a nun that tutored me in Math during [...]

Guinness stout cupcakes with whipped cream cheese frosting.

I’m Irish, I love Guinness, and I love cupcakes, so really what would stop me from making Guinness cupcakes?  And really- what sounds cooler than beer cupcakes? In case you live under a rock and have no idea what it is, Guinness is a delicious stout that has an almost chocolate-y undertone and is a [...]

Hittin’ the ‘nog again.

Well, well, well. I’ve been MIA, huh? No recipes in a while. I’m sorry about that… I’ve been insanely, INSANELY busy. My days are filled with the usual seasonal activities and some other miscellaneous things (heh, I’m a blonde now) and on top of all that I went to the Condé Nast building with Jay’s [...]
