Caramel Apple Cupcakes

Tue, 03 Sep 2002 17:47:08 -0400

This recipe is from Quick Cooking - September/October 2001. I use the paper liners for the jumbo muffin pans because it makes for easier transporting of the cupcakes. They seem to stay fresher, too. These are great for a bake sale or even for a Halloween party. -- posted by luvmybge

My Friend the Friand

Mon, 11 Aug 2003 20:02:39 -0400

The friand is a small, moist, dense, rich almondy cake. It is truly awesome. I can never stop at just one. I like to eat it fresh out of the oven, with a tablespoon of fresh cream. Wonderful. If you feel like a treat, add some fresh strawberries with the cream :). From Simple Food by Jill Dupleix -- posted by KitchenManiac

Christmas Tree Cupcakes

Sat, 01 Jan 2005 20:00:15 -0500

I found a Christmas tree cupcake pan at a local supermarket and decided to make them using the Easy White Cake recipe from the recipe booklet which came with my new (Christmas gift) KitchenAid mixer. They were fun to make and messy to frost. LOL Having more than one pan would definately have speeded things up. I decorated the trees with some star-shaped Christmas candies. I also dropped some of the candies into the batter before baking, which gave some of the cupcakes a color-spotted inside. The round cake bits which resulted from cutting off the cupcake "humps" make nice, bite size, sandwich 'cookies' when put together with extra frosting. Spread the frosting on the flat side of one round and cover with another. -- posted by Sandaidh

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 16:32:32 -0500

A beautiful cupcake for Christmas -- or Valentine's Day. The cake has become almost traditional for the upcoming season and now here is an individual-sized serving to highlight a dessert tray. The recipe came from a book of cupcake recipes and decorating ideas. I'm sorry to say I know neither the name of the book nor the author but am grateful to have gotten such a great recipe! Note that the recipe for a suggested frosting is included at the end of the recipe, but any white frosting of your choice may be used. Edited to add: The recipe comes from the book "Hey There, Cupcake!" by Clare Crespo. It contains lots of decorating ideas. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Molasses Snack Cake With Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:06:19 -0500

This is more like a cakey bar than a fancy cake...think snack cake or muffin top texture. I think this would make great cupcake batter as well. I love the tart frosting with the spicy molasses. It's a wonderful afternoon snack or light dessert. -- posted by greysangel

Festive Deep Red Velvet Christmas Cupcakes

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 15:38:00 -0500

These cupcakes are absolutely beautiful! Great for holiday parties and get-togethers. The decorating paste is very concentrated compared to typical food coloring. Be careful not to get in on your handsit is very difficult to wash off. It gives the batter a lovely bright red coloring. The sanding sugar provides an elegant finishing touch. Both items can be found at Williams-Sonoma or similar type stores. -- posted by Super San Mateo Chefs

Strawberry Cupcakes

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:32:47 -0500

I love strawberry cake, but I have gotten too spoiled to buy the box kind. I searched online for a from-scratch version, and here it is! They come out less sweet and a bit more muffin-like than the cake mix would. -- posted by Vye367

Deceptively Delicious Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 22:54:22 -0400

These are from Jessica Seinfeld's book. I have not tried these yet, but they are next on my list. They pack a nutritional punch with yellow (winter) squash, blueberries, and spinach. To make the squash and spinach purees, pre-cook the veggies. The key is to puree them (in the food processor) until absolutely smooth and creamy. If you use "sneaky chef", you need 1 cup of "purple puree." When I make this, I will try it with a blend of whole wheat flour and update as appropriate. -- posted by gourmetmomma

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Bread

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:02:17 -0400

This is easy and delicious. Perfect with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up. You can make it fat-free by substituting an additional 1/4 cup of applesauce for the oil, or use regular eggs instead of the egg-replacer if you don't need the recipe to be vegan. I got this recipe from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/12/pumpkin-spice-bread.html -- posted by VeganFamilyChef

I adapted this recipe from one I found in a magazine at Christmas time. They are delicious and a very festive dessert for holiday parties! You can use any boxed chocolate cake mix, I just listed my favorite. Just be sure to follow the directions on the box of whatever brand you use.

Devil's Food Snack Cakes

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:18:47 -0400

These tasty little snack cakes have been a family favorite for years. They taste great served at room temperature, but everyone that I know absolutely LOVES them from the freezer. The snack cakes are small in size so you can satisfy that chocolate craving without feeling too guilty about calories. Great for kids and adults alike. If you bring them to a party they are always the first dessert gone!! -- posted by Chef James Thomas

Spiced Cupcakes

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:08:17 -0400

White cupcakes with seasonal spices. Really good for fall! Goes really well with Chocolate Italian Meringue Buttercream. You can make this cake by hand or with a mixer. If you chose to use a mixer be careful not to over mix. If you're lactose intolerant, these come out just as well if you use soymilk or ricemilk instead of regular milk. -- posted by pastrygirl_5280
