These cupcakes were made for a friend’s wedding shower. I do have to admit that I’m still having problems with the density of my cupcakes when I put alcohol in them. These were delicious and fresh, but were a little dense and muffin-like. The lime really shone through, and you can taste the rum in [...]

I made a cupcake similar to these for a friend’s birthday during the break from the blog. But here they are now, ready for Easter! I don’t know about anyone else, but our family celebrates any holiday with some wine, beer, or any other drink. So, mimosa cupcakes are great for our Easter dessert.

A friend of mine who recently had a birthday has a twin sister who is gluten-intolerant, so when the invite for the potluck party was made, it was pretty clear that I was going to make gluten-free cupcakes.

D Clark won our 100th comment contest, and since D Clark has also made it clear for months that I need to make Lemon Chocolate Cupcakes, a la Trader Joe’s cookies that I have never had, that is what Mels and I will be working with. Recently, while trawling other baking blogs, I ran across [...]

I have the tendency, it seems, to buy fruit, eat some of it, and then utterly forget about it, which is how I ended up with two pounds of blood oranges sitting lonely in the fridge. I also have a lot of frozen blackberries, and figured they couldn’t possibly be terrible together, and would likely [...]
