I realize I haven't spent as much on this blog like I had originally planned - and I also am not making as many cupcake recipes and I really miss blogging. I want to expand my blog.  I bake all kinds of things, make healthy recipes, fun crafty stuff for my house and kids ( hello Pinterest addiction)  and other fun things, so I have decided to close this blog and start a new one. It is

So I am actually a little embarrassed. I made these last year and am just now blogging them. Better late than never? At least its a couple days before Thanksgiving so maybe these can also serve as a warning for how not to toast the marshmallow frosting.  What is she talking about? you're thinking that cupcake looks perfectly toasted. Oh you just wait a few more pictures here....

Hi. I had a comment asking me if I wasn' t blogging anymore. But I am!  I am just SO BEHIND. Two kids under two has me so busy by the time I sit down at night to blog I usually pass out from sheer exhaustion!  I have been baking and taking pictures but haven't had the time to edit my photos and post blogs. But. I made a promise to myself NO baking in the month of July just so I can blog

Since my last post was for one bowl ( er two bowl) cupcakes for two a vanilla and a chocolate version I thought why not a Margarita version for today. I will be making these today so I don't have a picture right now but here is the recipe (these are my original margarita cupcakes found here) One Bowl Margarita Cupcakes for Two serves 2 1 egg white 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons butter,

You ever have one of those mornings/days/nights when you REALLY want a cupcake, or two in case you have someone to share them with, and you don't want to make a whole batch be it box mix or scratch but you want a cupcake. And you want it bad? Well a friend of mine, who is a fellow cupcake fan, showed me this post from How Sweet It Is blog a few weeks ago.  A recipe that makes JUST TWO

I have been doing some cupcake baking research lately since I had a recent batch of cupcakes ( to be blogged soon!) that didn't puff up with the nice dome that I normally strive for. So I tried to figure out why this happened. Was it because I didn't fill with enough batter? Did I over mix? Were they under baked and shrank when cooling?  So I decided to look around online and see what people

A friend of mine and co-worker has recently started baking cakes and cupcakes and has been making some amazing creations. She started out wanting to make her kid's super cool birthday cakes that not only look good but taste great too ( she makes everything from scratch including her own marshmallow fondant aka mmf) and has ventured into making cakes for friends, family and other co-workers.

Hi All!!I am going to be making some changes to my blog. Nothing major, yet. First off I have a new print feature at the end of my posts, thanks to my unofficial blog IT friend, Steph, from Sweet Creations by Stephanie, she is my go-to for all my blog help because she knows more about it than I do! ha ha. And she added that for me. So if you want to print one of the recipes I have posted you can

I am a bona fide coconut-aholic. I seriously love anything and everything that has to do with the coconut. And with the exception of the sugary shredded coconut and the uber sweet coconut cream used in Pina Coladas, coconut is amazingly healthy. The oil alone has numerous health benefits, and even though it has gotten a bad rap in the past for being a saturated fat its a GOOD fat, an essential

  Most of the goodies that I bake are recipes I have been wanting to try that are in my ever growing list of recipes  and I mostly make them and share with my hubby's co-workers so I don't end up eating more than my share. Once in a while I take requests from friends.  A good friend of mine's husband was telling me about a local restaurant that had these AMAZING almond tea

Ahh Valentines day. Some love it, some hate it, Hallmark makes tons of money off of it. I could take it or leave it but its always a good excuse to make cupcakes, especially ones with lots of glitter and sparkle. Since Valentines day is really more of a girly "holiday" than a manly one I decided to go over the top girly and make some fun, glittery, royal icing toppers.  I ADORE the blog,

If you are craving a cookie bad and A. lack the patience to wait for cookies to bake, B. have very little time but would rather have homemade rather than store bought or, C. Run out of important ingredients to actually make baked cookies like baking powder and baking soda ( like I did gasp!) then these are the type of cookie for you. Or cookies for

A good friend of mine is due any minute now with boy # 2 and her best friend decided last week that she needed a baby shower. We were all surprised to see her still pregnant at the shower. We were convinced she wasn't going to make it. So I told her that I would make her some labor inducing cupcakes. One can hope. She looks ready to pop. ha ha I just made her some simple chocolate cupcakes with

 Censored view .. uncensored view below Hello to all you “A Cup Full of Cake” readers - A few weeks ago, Shanna asked me if I would be interested in doing a guest blog as soon as she saw my boob cupcakes that I made for Mr. UPS (the UPS man) at my friends store. What a perfect month for it, October, Breast Cancer Awareness month! If you can roll a ball of fondant, you can make a boob, or

October is Breast Cancer awareness month and I am sure many of you have women in your family, or friends or maybe even yourself have been affected by this horrendous disease. I have an aunt that has and she is a survivor for several years now and a good friend that is a 10 year survivor. So in honor of this month my good friend Stephanie from the blog, sweetcreationsbystephanie, will be posting

She is normally a chocolate lover but my friend Stephanie had found this AMAZING cake on a blog somewhere and we both decided we had to make it. She made it first and said

I wasn't planning on baking cupcakes this weekend considering I am due any day now with our second daughter, but I realized it was fathers day or as I like to call it "baby daddy day" and I just HAD to make something. I have an ever growing list of cupcakes to make and I have been wanting to make oreo cupcakes for a while now. I have seen oreo cakes and cupcakes recently in ads and blogs so maybe

She had two kids graduating one from college and one from high school. So I had lots of fun colors to work with. I searched "graduation cupcakes" and there really isn't a whole lot of creative differences when it comes to graduation cupcake ideas. So caps
