Peanut Butter Cup-Cakes!

For those of you who love the mixture of peanut butter and chocolate, this is the cupcake for you. It is a chocolate cake finished off with some thick, but delicious peanut butter frosting. The mini Reeses on top are the perfect way to complete the cupcake, and the frosting can be applied anyway desired. 

Cookies and Cream

Sorry we have not been posting for a while! I (Ainsley) was abroad in the Czech Republic from August until December, and when I was finally back in the US I had some medical things to attend to, so not much baking for me. Katie is graduating from the University of Denver this year, so she has had a lot on her plate as well. 

Anyway, the next few posts will consist of some of the recent cupcakes that Katie has made! This one is the Cookies and Cream, which was a chocolate cupcake, with Oreo-cream frosting topped with some Mini-Oreos!

Girl Scout Cookie Cupcakes- Samoa Edition

These cupcakes were made just for fun last week. They include a chocolate cake infused with coconut, carmel frosting, and toasted coconut shavings and chocolate sprinkles to top them off! The carmel frosting was extremely rich, but was well balanced with the lightness of the cupcake. So delicious! 

Who Knew Sunflowers Could Be So Delicious

I literally dedicated my entire day today to make these beautiful sunflower treats for a bbq I am attending tomorrow night. The cupcake is a dark chocolate mix with chocolate pudding and cocoa. On top is a buttercream frosting dyed yellow and an Oreo cookie center! The frosting contains 6 sticks of butter and 8 eggwhites (doesn't sound too healthy) but compliments the chocolatey cake. I am very proud of how the final product turned out and I hope they will be a hit tomorrow night! 

Here is a photo of similar sunflower cupcakes Katie made last summer. She used a different type of frosting and added little ladybug m&ms.
