Funfetti Cupcakes + Pink Marshmallow Frosting

Jake’s birthday was Friday! These guys, made Saturday, were fashionably late. Wouldn’t you agree that the combo of funfetti with pink frosting just screams birthday? Basically these are a birthday party for your mouth. (In a fun way, not a creepy way.) Rainbow sprinkles are the prettiest. And somehow they get even prettier baked in white cake! This cake is white because there aren’t any egg yolks in it to turn it into yellow cake.…

Chocolate Marshmallows

The only time I look tan is when I get cocoa powder all over my arms. I looked pretty tan this morning, just saying. I made marshmallows before. Those guys were lighter and fluffier and more delicate, due to the egg whites involved. These ones are super rich and chocolaty. They are sturdier and would probably stay on a skewer if you wanted to serve them that way. I think it’d look cute, for real.…

S’mores Cupcakes

These cupcakes are a honey graham delight, topped with chocolate ganache and then twirly swirled with marshmallow frosting. They’re so downright fantastic they’re wrong. But if these cupcakes are wrong, I don’t want to be right. These cupcakes are a bit messy, but Jake says it’s how they are supposed to be since real s’mores are messy. And Jake knows a thing or two about snacks and s’mores. The original recipes makes 24 regular cupcakes.…

Honey Graham Pound Cakes with Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting

Last year my Thanksgiving contribution was to drive a smooshed pumpkin roll six hours to my sister’s house. Not this year though. Because this time tomorrow I’ll be in Minnesota hanging out with my parents. My mom and I will be going over the Thanksgiving dinner menu and Wednesday will consist of cooking and prepping. I decided to channel my excitement for Thursday by making these delicious s’more’eque pound cakes. S’mores are on my mind…
