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 [...]
Hey cupcake whores- Happy (day before) Valentine’s Day! I hope all you cookin’ & bakin’, movin’ & shakin’ wives/girlfriends get KitchenAid stand mixers tomorrow, or a pretty apron, and if not, I hope you at least get cupcakes… or flowers (and I hope you guys all get something sweet too). Yoyo is having a [...]
I have no idea what possessed me to make these. I really don’t. I had Christmas cupcakes planned already, and they weren’t these. These were sort of an accident. Or a surprise I guess, that sounds nicer.
I just randomly decided I wanted to make cupcakes, and I wanted to make a new recipe. However, I [...]
My mom mentioned that this year for Christmas she might make her shortbread. She used to make it every Christmas, but hasn’t in a long time. It sorta put a bee in my bonnet (or a bug up my ass, if we’re being blunt) to try making it myself. I’ve never made it before, but [...]
Before I start with the baking, I want to announce something. I’ve been working on a new project with some high school friends of mine and I’ve been so excited about it. I’ve wanted to spill the beans for a while now but it hasn’t been quite ready. Well, it’s officially open for business now: [...]
Entenmann’s chocolate chip crumb loaf used to be one of my absolute favorite cakes as a kid. I remember being really sick once, and I had no appetite. The only thing I wanted was sweet stuff, so my mom bought me chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate chip crumb loaf and I ate them watching [...]
What a title, huh? I outdid myself with that one. If you don’t read that title and then stick around to read the rest of this entry, even just out of just pure curiosity, well, you’re… probably very busy at work. Or you’re a very boring person.
I think Martha Stewart recipes are sort of like [...]
After what seemed like 5 years (but in actuality was almost 2 full months) of constant rain here in New York, the weather finally changed into the typical summer weather: hot and humid. Therefore, it became too hot to bake anything complicated. However my mom’s birthday is Saturday, and I told her to pick something [...]

Before I start I just want to repeat that Cupcake Rehab now has a Facebook page! So if you’re on the book of faces, and [...]
No offense Pillsbury, you served me well for many years… came in handy when I wanted to make a quick sheet cake at midnight during my college years and kept my sugar levels up through many class birthday parties as a child, but I don’t really “do” box cake mixes anymore. Sure, occasionally I’ll use [...]
Okay so, I’ve mentioned before that I’m in love with caramel (I even had a complete discussion about how its pronounced the last time I spoke about it). My favorite candy (when I eat it, which is rare) is chocolate covered caramel, or any type of chocolate-caramel concoction, really, even with peanuts or pecans or [...]
Wow.
So I’ve been really neglectful, and I apologize to any loyal readers. I’ve been lax with the cupcake recipes, and thats wrong of me. *hangs head in shame*
I decided that since its officially spring now (despite the weather being a bit cold for my liking), I’d make some spring-like cupcakes. In the past, for spring [...]
So Lyns, the proprietor of Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Bakery, asked me to make some fabulous egg-free vegan cupcakes, and requested a very interesting theme: Queen of Hearts. I loved the idea, and although I’m not vegan and really haven’t done much vegan baking, I jumped right into it.
What is “vegan“, exactly?
Veganism is a diet and [...]
Hearing: Dean Martin – “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!”
I’ve been away for too long, I’m aware of that. I haven’t been doing much baking- instead my time has been spent decorating, planning gifts, making lists and checking them twice, and most importantly, being sick and battling crowds of germy holiday [...]
This month’s DB challenge has a special place in my heart. I adore caramel. And it is indeed pronounced car-a-mel. Not ‘carmel.’ People please, note the ‘a’ in there. Its just plain based on the rules of the English language. Car-a-mel. If you say ‘carmel’ just go away. No I’m kidding- don’t go away. I’m [...]
