Vanilla Party Cupcakes

Well, guys, these cupcakes are totally a party. And I might even have to say that they age well. While putting this post together I had to eat the one I saved for a special occasion. (Obvz.) I baked these Sunday and ate the last one on Wednesday (I shared a ton, don’t go judgin’!) and it was even better somehow! I think it’s because I used fairy dust and magic in the frosting. Those…

Buttermilk Cupcakes + Strawberry Jam Frosting

I haven’t made cupcakes in awhile. I guess I’ve been busy spilling enchilada sauce in my shoe and helping myself to the bread basket before you show up for dinner. Maybe I’ve been spending too much time splitting gelato flights and shopping for blankets and thinking about picnics. Anyhow, last weekend I finally cupcaked it up. A fella I know loves strawberries, so I knew these had to happen. And it’s ok that they’re pink.…

Insta-recipes #1

Ok! So, I thought it might be fun to revisit some things I’ve posted on Instagram to share the recipes with you guys. I really hope you don’t mind! P.S. I didn’t make those donut holes and macarons up there, but aren’t they good-lookin’! And yeah, I totally want to take a nap on a pile of them. My friend Dana came over for dinner a while back and it was just after I revisited…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Cupcakes with Cookie Dough Frosting

These cupcakes could never be muffins. They could never be chillin’ in the world frosting-less.

You see, they bake up cookie-like. A little bit imperfect and a lot delicious. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cupcakes {makes 33-ish minis} Recipe from How Sweet…

Mini Hacker-Pschorr Cupcakes + Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

Hacker-Pschorr is my most favorite beer. To me, it tastes like ice cream. It’s a dessert on its own! Beer for dessert? Sure. Beer IN a cupcakes for dessert WITH a beer? Even better. My friend, Alex, loves this beer as much as I do, and it was his birthday over the weekend! So you better believe I made these and brought them out to the bar. We totally drank tall boy beers with them.…

Cider and Donut Cupcakes

It’s just one of those weeks. The kind where I bought 2 bottles of shampoo, thinking I had a conditioner. And my alarm was set for early o’clock more often than not. But it’s all good now because we have cider and donut cupcakes! And tomorrow is Jake’s birthday so we are going to eat good food and go on adventures all weekend. And fall is the best time for birthdays. Because then you can…

A Megabite Birthday + Mini Peanut Butter Cupcakes {revisited}

This weekend I went out on a lake in a purple paddle boat, drank beers on a patio until the sun went down, and today I’m celebrating this blog turning two!

Mini peanut butter cupcakes topped with chocolate fudge frosting and a mini peanut butter cup. You can’t go…

Chocolate Malt Cupcakes

I can’t resist gray v-neck t-shirts, tasty Bavarian brews, and  Poppy-colored nail polish. I can’t resist ankle boots, Ben & Jerry’s Half-Baked ice cream, and I really can’t resist these chocolate malt cupcakes. Did you know that malt powder is a magic ingredient? It makes waffles even better and it sure makes chocolate cupcakes irresistible. I made these for a birthday party. I topped them with little flags so if I wasn’t around people would know…

Champagne Cupcakes

These champagne cupcakes make me feel fancy. I feel fancy despite the fact that I only spent $5 on the champagne I put in these guys. And I feel fancy despite the fact that I might have cereal for every meal today. The sprinkles make my floor feel fancy too. I bet that I dropped as many sprinkles on the floor as landed on the frosting. So, cheers to the new year with cupcakes! Champagne…
