This will be my second alcohol-free cupcake post in a row! That’s some sort of record, I am sure. These cupcakes were for the same baby shower as the previous Almond and Vanilla ones. Frankly, there’s not too much creativity going on here, as I jacked Gibb’s Brown Sugar Cupcake recipe once again, and I’m [...]

This will be the second baby shower for which I’ve made these cupcakes. Their delicate flavor and lightness just lend themselves to such an event. I decided to up my game with this batch (my last batch was made during the cupcake blog hiatus and never made it into a post), and add ground almonds [...]

My fair/damp/slightly mildewed city has reached the time of year before it’s cloudy for basically three months running, but the lack of cloud cover makes for really chilly nights. The days have this absurdly beautiful crisp fall weather with a few wisps of clouds floating overhead; a cool, bright light; and a gorgeous blue sky [...]

I have an enormous bottle of rum. I guess it’s really not that enormous, but rum isn’t something I drink with any great frequency. Thus, the only use this rum has seen has been in cupcakes. Upon deciding (I really have been hitting the 19th century literature hard the last few weeks) I was well [...]
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cocoa Nibs and an Old-Fashioned Cooked Frosting

They don’t look like much, do they? Cocoa nibs look like gravel, or peanuts, or…I really just lost track of that thought. Regardless, they’re delicious, grown-up chocolate chips. Well, maybe not grown up, but definitely a little fancier. I made red velvet, again, but this time, I did it with an old-fashioned cooked frosting, which [...]

One of the coolest things about wordpress is the data it gathers. There is a page that keeps count of page views, links clicked, referrers, other stuff, and one of my favorites: Search Terms. That is, the phrases and words people google that makes Cupcake Villains appear in their search results page–a hilarious number surround [...]
