As you may or may not know, the bakery giant Hostess has filed for bankruptcy. Who here hasn’t had a Hostess product at some point in time? Exactly! A very sad day indeed. Do I eat them everyday, gosh no. But I do remember growing up with them. In the summer I was at the Orange County [...]

Here’s another popular cupcake from the shop arsenal. I just posted this photo on my facebook page which immediately attracted attention. I figured it was a recipe I needed to pass on, in time for Valentine’s Day naturally. Fresh raspberry puree is used in the frosting, but for the chocolate cake I use an oil based raspberry flavoring. [...]

These cupcakes taste just like strawberry shortcake only with a chocolaty center. Just in time for Valentine’s Day. When we made these at the shop we couldn’t bake them fast enough. Probably the chocolate dipped strawberry had something to do with that. Fruit and chocolate is a favorite combo of mine. Now I just need to [...]

WOW! Everyone is so curious about the recipe for this cupcake. Can’t say I’m surprised. What is so wonderful about this treat is the chocolate ganache in the middle! I put a dash of banana puree in the vanilla buttercream frosting just to give it a boost. I always want to have the banana flavor present but [...]

The beauty of this little guy is that it has a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the middle of the cake that you can’t see. I put a bucket of peanut butter in the frosting and there you have it, PB Bliss. For a more complex flavor I add coffee. It doesn’t over power but enhances the chocolate. [...]

Have you ever had an old-fashioned chocolate malt shake from scratch? Can I tell you these cupcakes taste just like that. When I was a little girl of 5 we had a lake house that we went to every weekend. It just so happened to be down the street from EATS Drive-in, an old school [...]

Okay you we can do this the easy way or the hard way, you pick. For me I’ve done it both just depends on how much time I have. Like you would expect making them from scratch always tastes better and the preferred method. These are a big hit which ever way you pick. You can’t go wrong [...]

Drum roll please!!!!!! The most asked about recipe is now yours to share straight from the shop. I use Barry Calebaut cocoa and chocolate ice cream sprinkles for the garish. To be successful with this one use really really high quality vanilla and cocoa. Practice the cake recipe once to get it right. The frosting is a simple vanilla [...]

Have to get this one in before the holidays. When I say Mighty Peppermint I mean it. I go pretty heavy on the mint in both the cake and frosting, then sprinkle the cupcakes with mini chocolate chips, tint the mint buttercream frosting with light green, and garnished with an Andes mint. Go for it, don’t be [...]
