The Easter Bunny would be jealous
If he hopped in and saw these lurking around. These are lemon cupcakes with vanilla frosting topped with Peeps, all sorts of sprinkles and last but not least shaved dark and white chocolate. We made these last night and frosted them today for a function we had tonight. We used oversized cupcake tins and they are BIG, moist, lemony and oh so good.
Cupcake Fun
Looking to have some cupcake fun? Need some help? Check out Wilton’s Cupcake Fun book. It is chock full of ideas for all occassions.
Two recipes we have been working on:
Are chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and Oreo cupcakes with a few twists
We have made these chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting twice and they are on the top of our list. Moist and gooey and the peanut butter frosting is to die for. There is lots and lots of peanut butter in the frosting….yummmy..
Our other favorite is Oreo cupcakes. Again chocolate cupcakes but with oreo stuffing frosting dusted with crushed Oreos or with a chunk of an Oreo cookie. Just like eating an Oreo but moister. You still may want a glass of milk to wash it all down. What could be better?
It’s been a while
Since we have posted and we truly apologize. We have been busy lately testing new recipes, reviewing new products and brainstorming. Keep coming back to us as we post about the products and recipes we have been trying in the coming weeks.

Cup-A-Cake
We love the entrepreneurial spirit especially when coupled with a great design idea.
This container solves a long time problem. It will hold a frosted cupcake in place with internal, bonded holders which are positioned in such a way that the cupcake will not move within the container if jiggled or turned upside down! No frosting lost! From Cup-A-Cake.
