This post is about cupcakes…chocolate peanut butter cupcakes to be exact. I brought these cupcakes along with a dozen coconut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting to one of my church's outreaches a while back. Baking for people is my passion, and I find so much fulfillment in being able to put smiles on people's faces and a good memory in their hearts and minds. To jazz these cupcakes up, I used chocolate transfer sheet designs and cut mini Easter eggs out of them for the top of the cupcakes.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to share with you photos of treats I made.
I had a bridal shower to go to for one of my best friends. Her bridal shower theme was “shades of blue” so I made blue lingerie cookies for the shower. I wrote their initials on some of the cookies for a personal touch.
Well, looking at some of my recent posts I realized that I haven't posted a really good recipe lately, so I thought I would pass this one your way…since we all need to pack on a couple more pounds before summer…right?!? 
Well, even if packing on a couple pounds doesn't sound appetizing to you, once you see these cupcakes you won't care what the results are…you'll just want to eat one…or two or three!
These photos are from a recent class I taught at Prep Kitchen Essentials in Seal Beach, CA. The class was of course all about cupcakes, and this time we focused on really decadent, yummy cupcakes and not so much on the decorating aspect of it. Here was the menu…
I would have to say that the Samoas cupcakes were the biggest winner of the day. Everyone in the class agreed that they were definitely worth the extra effort and couldn't stop talking about how yummy they were. If you haven't visited Chockylit's blog, then you have to! You will get lost in the delicious looking photos and the yummy flavor concepts. Well, without further ado here are the photos and the recipe for the Samoas cupcakes!
So to start off making these flower decorations you need to mix together 50% fondant and 50% gumpaste. The fondant helps with the smoothness and the gumpaste helps you to be able to roll out the dough very thin, and it also allows the dough to harden quicker.
After teaching my cupcake class a few weeks ago, a lot of people wanted to know how I made flower cupcakes without a pastry tip, so I thought I would share my “secret” techniques with you lovely, PRO readers. I took a lot of photos of the process so that you would be able to “see” the process instead of just reading about how to do it. So let's begin!
Last week we had the pleasure of savoring these gorgeous and delicous cupcakes from Perfect Endings in Napa - arguably the best and most beautifully designed cakes in the Bay Area! (The occasion was the book launch party for Alison Hotchkiss's Destination Wedding Planner).
My sister.
My little sister got married earlier this year.
Though she'll be the first to admit that she pretty much has no interest in anything “crafty”, I have to applaud my sister's moss setup. The remnants still aren't fully vacuumed out of the rug, but she did a great job preparing a palette where these sweet little treats could sit.
