Black & Whites

My favorite flavor- "french vanilla" cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and mini dark chocolate chips.

Gingerbread Men

 

For Gavin's birthday I made him chocolate cupcakes with the-best-ever chocolate frosting.  The Christmas wraps, sprinkles, and little pokes made them birthday special!

Santa hats

 

In December we invited Leonard's seminary class over for a Christmas party.  I whipped up some cherry cupcakes with red frosting that looked so cute in their Santa wrappers.

 

I also made some mint frosting for the brownie bites.  They were the hit of the evening!  Don't they look like puffy red and green tuques?

Pumpkins

Nothing says November like pumpkin!  I made some pumpkin cupcakes with another cream cheese frosting and just had to add the little candy pumpkins.

I made some more minis for Len's hometeaching families.

And some more for Gavin's class at school.

Girly-girl

I made these for my friend's 4 year old daughter's birthday.  They represent all that is good with the world!

I forgot to mention that the party girl's cupcakes were vanilla with cream cheese frosting.  Well, the recipe for the cream cheese goodness made a whole truckload of frosting.  What to do?  I made up some carrot/walnut/raisin/coconut cupcakes to use it on.  My family quite enjoyed them.

3-eyed Monsters

My favorite- lemon cakes with gooey buttercream.  Orange and purple are great for Halloween, especially with Monster eyes!

Charleston Chew

These were just chocolate cakes with vanilla frosting, but the color combo of brown and pink made me think of Charleston Chews (I miss those).

Mint Chocolate

Mint and chocolate make a divine flavor combination.  So cute with these jumbo mint wafers,

or on these little minis.  Don't they look like flowers?

Rainbow Bright

On this blog I want to post yummy cake recipes, delicious frostings, and just cute cupcakes.  These are just cute cupcakes- basic vanilla and buttercream; the colorful wrappers, frosting, and sprinkles just make them sparkle!

Back-to-School Gold Stars

I'm trying to get this blog caught up, but I don't remember what these were.  A different white cupcake and vanilla buttercream, I think.

Watermelon Slice

I wish I had watermelon flavoring for these, but they were just vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting.  The pink frosting trimmed with green and chocolate chips is what made them a hit with the soccer team!
