Cannoli Cream cupcakes

Growing up in an Italian family, a holiday or gathering was not complete without a box of Italian pastries and the blessed cannoli! YUM!

I have always wanted to create a cupcake that tastes like a cannoli. This cake is the closest I have ever come! White almond cake with hints of cinnamon and orange zest with a ricotta and mascarpone cheese frosting. I swirled in mini chocolate chips and some cinnamon and almond extract. I topped the cupcake with pieces of broken cannoli shell.

Martha Stewart's Cutest Cupcakes

If there is one person I can say I look up to it's Martha Stewart. She is just brilliant. Her entertaining ideas are fun, her recipes always come out fantastic, and she is just one awesome & successful woman. This year I have decided to put a bunch of my cupcakes in the running for,
THE CUTEST CUPCAKES CONTEST 2009.

I think I have a pretty fair shot. Some of the cupcakes I have placed in the pool are: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Day of the Dead, Strawberry Jam, Pumpkin Spice, etc. I think my classic and inventive cupcakes may catch her eye. Nevertheless, I am excited to see the winners and have been most impressed by some of the entries.

CUPCAKES!!!

And while I am on the subject, go out and buy Martha's new Cupcake book. It's filled with goodness!

Harry Potter Party

I recently hosted a Harry Potter party at my home. Cauldrons were bubbling with polyjuice potion, mason jars filled with butterbeer, and our food was even themed too. For desert, I created these beauties. Devil's food cupcakes with ribbons of peanut butter frosting swirled. Each was topped with a handmade fondant pumpkin and sugar sprinkles.

Have a fantastic holiday!

Here Comes the Bride!

I recently had the pleasure of catering a Spring Bridal Shower. My sister-in-law ordered these adorable cupcakes for the party. We customized the flavor and colors to match the brides taste. The cupcake was made from lemon pudding, fresh lemons and lots of zest. It was creamy and soft and absolutely delicious with vanilla bean swirled into the batter. The frosting was a simple white butter cream, which was smooth and sweet! Because this was a garden Bridal Shower, I topped each cupcake with a sugar flower.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For...

Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes!!!

I have always wanted to try making a cupcake that tasted and looked like an ice cream sundae. I finally came up with a plan. I made the chocolate cake with Hershey's syrup and Chocolate pudding. YUM! For the buttercream I used both vanilla extract and vanilla bean for a delicious vanilla ice cream flavor. The texture was pretty spot on too! Think Rita's or Mr. Softy! No sundae is complete without chocolate fudge. I made a homemade dark chocolate ganache and added a sprinkles and cherries! SOOO cute! These were a big hit with a recent customer.

Put in your orders today for July 4th! Ice cream sundae with patriotic sprinkles!! A perfect little end to your backyard BBQ!
