Pumpkin Cupcake

Who says you have to wait until October to eat pumpkin?  Every year I make several patches of pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting.  So I used the same recipe to make cupcakes.  I frosted them with whipped cream cheese frosting and dusted them with pumpkin pie spice.  YUMMY!  They remind me of fall.

M & M Chocolate Cupcake

Nothing special here, I was just craving m & m's.  It's my dark chocolate cake with Whipped cream cheese chocolate frosting, topped with chopped m & m's.  They were for Russ' bday party.  I also made an apple pie, but didn't take a picture!!

Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake

It's been almost six months since my last blog.  I've been baking a little, but I haven't created anything new....until today.  A few months ago, my 9 year old asked me to try to make a Pineapple upside down cupcake.  Yesterday my husband bought me a new muffin tin that holds 24 cupcakes.  I couldn't hold out any longer, I had to make the cupcake.  It was kind of a challenge in the fact that it's an upside down cake, which means I couldn't use a cupcake liner.  I had to bake the cupcakes right in the tin and then flip them out and hope and pray that they didn't stick to the sides of the pan or fall apart!!  Luckily, they turned out great.  I made a whipped cream cheese frosting and garnished them with toasted coconut and toffee bits and put a cherry on the top.  They are delicious!
