Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes – moist pumpkin cupcakes with pecans and raisins and topped with cream cheese frosting! Hi guys! I can’t stop making pumpkin desserts. I’ve only blogged a fraction of them because I don’t want to become a pumpkin blog. But I can’t stop making them. At one point, we had 4 containers of…

Lemon Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting
I am loving spring flavors right now. No surprise since it’s been in the 80s in Texas for the last week or so. How crazy is that? I keep thinking about how much I want to go back to Colorado and then I see their weather and I’m like, “Ehh… maybe I’ll just stay in…
Apple Spice Cupcakes
Apple Spice Cupcakes – yummy apple cupcakes topped with spiced vanilla frosting and cinnamon apple chips! Perfect fall cupcakes! Happy almost Friday! I made cupcakes! Guys, I am sick. Ugh. It’s about time since the kids have been in school for a few weeks and have all sneezed once or twice. Seriously though, weakest immune…
Red Velvet Cupcakes (+ a giveaway!)
First things first, I spent all of yesterday afternoon watching Mockingjay. I had heard pretty horrible things about it and perhaps my standards are low because I watch 3 movies a year but I kind of loved it. Like, I read the books several times so I knew what was happening but I was on…
Chocolate-Bacon Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche Frosting
I don’t usually post on Fridays. It feels quite weird. But it’s Halloween and that calls for chocolate! And bacon! And dulce de leche! Plus, I skipped my usual football food post yesterday. Mostly because the queso fundido I made for the post turned out very different from how I expected it to. The chorizo I…
Apple Fritters
Easy Apple Fritters made by dipping sliced apples in a quick batter and frying until golden and delicious! You won’t believe how easy and delicious these are! Do you want to know how sad my life is? Yesterday I took a nap (don’t judge me) and dreamt that I was on weather.com and saw snow…
Orange Cream Cupcakes
Big disaster in my life. We can’t find Cuties anymore. I don’t even know what to do. The baby (he’s almost 3 – not a baby) eats at least 3 a day and now they are gone from the grocery store shelves. Yesterday I found a bag of pluots labeled dinosaur fruit and thought “Hey, it’s…
Pineapple Fairy Cupcakes
Sometimes you just need a fun cupcake in your life. Am I right? (And by sometimes, I mean every day of your life.) I made these cupcakes in honor of the release of Disney’s The Pirate Fairy on Digital HD and Blu-ray on April 1st. It is the newest from the world of Peter Pan…
Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
Chocolate Stout Cupcakes – chocolate cupcakes made with Guinness and topped with a dreamy chocolate buttercream frosting. You have to make these for St. Patrick’s Day! One last St. Patrick’s Day recipe and then I swear I’ll stop! I told you guys yesterday that one of my favorite things about St. Patrick’s Day is buying…
Funfetti Monster Cupcakes #ScareEdu
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and its client. If you went back to Monsters University, would you major in scaring? One desperate day during deployment, I was searching through the kids movies that…
King Cake Cupcakes
So I lied to you. Valentine’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday after all. Mardi Gras is! I guess living in Colorado made me completely forget about Mardi Gras because it didn’t even occur to me that Fat Tuesday is next week until I started seeing photos from Mardi Gras balls in my Facebook stream. But…
White Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream
Cupcakes have been mostly absent from my life (and my blog!) since we made the move from sea level to 6000 feet. Sad story, right? I just can’t get them right. I’ve had decent luck with cakes and quick breads but the secret to perfect high-altitude cupcakes has eluded me until now. The problem with…
Football Cupcakes
I know I said that I’m feeling the Superbowl this year but you didn’t think I would leave you without fun ideas, did you? These cute little football cupcakes are perfect for any Superbowl party! I mean, who doesn’t love cupcakes?! And they couldn’t be any easier. I actually used a boxed mix because cupcakes haven’t been…
Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream
I know, I know – everyone else is talking turkey, cranberries, and stuffing and I’m posting cupcakes that have absolutely nothing to do with Thanksgiving. It’s very hard to get into the season when it’s still HOT outside and that’s what I’m experiencing now. I made these cupcakes a couple weekends ago for a family…
Vanilla Bean Cupcakes
As you’re reading this, I’m probably on a plane somewhere en route to NYC for the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Holiday Bakeoff. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway if you haven’t already! I went to a General Mills blog event back in August and really learned a lot about myself on that trip….
