Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Filling

sewdancer@gmail.com — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 16:40:41 PDT

Ingredients
-red velvet cake mix+ingredients for batter
-cream cheese frosting
-red food coloring (optional)
-sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Start off by following the directions on the Red Velvet cake mix box. Preheat oven accordingly and prepare your cupcake pan with cupcake paper baking cups. Then add all the ingredients the cake box lists in a large bowl. Usually it's just some eggs, oil, and water. Not very difficult. Stir until the batter is as smooth as possible. And if the batter isn't the red you're wanting, you can add a few drops of red food dye to achieve that rich color. But the batter does appear more red after it's done baking so keep that in mind. After your red velvet cake batter is nice and smooth, fill each paper cupcake holder about half way full to three-fourths full. Place the cupcake pan in the oven for the recommended time on the box. Usually ranges from 18-22 minutes or when the cupcakes are spongy when touched. Remove the red velvet cupcakes from the oven after baking and LET COOL COMPLETELY. This is very important since you will be filling them with cream cheese frosting. Once they are cooled, use a small pairing knife to cut out a cone of cake (1-inch across, 1-inch deep) out of the top. Then remove the pointy end of the cone so all you have left is a flat circle of cake. Set this aside, and repeat this step to all of the cupcakes. Then you can use a zip lock bag with the corner snipped off filled with the cream cheese icing for easy distributing. Squeeze about a tablespoon or so of the cream cheese icing in each cupcake. Then place the flat circle of cake on top of each cupcake to plug the hole and keep the filling in place. You can use the remainder of the cream cheese icing to frost the tops of the red velvet cupcakes. Use sprinkles for garnish if you want and ta dahh! Store in an airtight container until ready to serve. Enjoy these amazing red velvet cupcakes!

Fluffy Vanilla Cupcakes

sewdancer@gmail.com — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:31:51 PDT

Ingredients

-vanilla cake mix

-vanilla frosting

-colorful sprinkles

-12 holed cupcake pan

-paper cupcake holders

-electric mixer

These cupcakes are the fluffiest tasting treat ever. Your going to love these gourmet cupcakes for any occasion. These fluffy cupcakes are really easy to make and take only a little bit of spare time, but trust me, they are worth it. Now let's start the magic.

First follow the simple directions on the cake mix box. Put all of the cake batter ingredients in a large bowl. The trick to making the gourmet cupcakes fluffy, is to only use the egg whites instead of the whole entire egg. If the directions say add 3 eggs, then only add the 3 egg whites. This is a great way to achieve a perfect fluffy cupcake. But if the directions on the box already say to add egg whites, then that's great. Just be sure to use just egg whites according to any directions on any cake mix. If your confused on how to separate an egg to get an egg white, then here's how you do it. Crack the egg slowly directly in the middle so your shell will have 2 even halves.

Then you slowly pour the yolk into one of the halves letting the rest of the egg (egg white) fall into a small dish. Okay...now back to the baking part. Once you have your gourmet cupcake batter in a large bowl, mix with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Then mix on high for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Your gourmet vanilla cupcake mix will be fluffy (that's what you want).

Now put your paper cupcake holders in the 12 holed cupcake pan. You can now pour the batter into each cupcake holder only filling each cupcake 2/3 of the way full. Now bake the cupcakes according to the directions on the cake mix box. There should be a certain amount of time on how long to bake cupcakes.

After your gourmet cupcakes are finished baking, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Make sure your cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting. Frost each cupcake with the vanilla frosting(look at the chocolate dream cupcake recipe frosting tips). After each cupcake is frosted, sprinkle any kind of sprinkles on top for a gourmet finish. And enjoy!

Ingredients

-cheesecake kit(includes crushed graham crackers)

-cherry pie filling(in a can)

-paper cupcake holders

To make these gourmet mini cheesecake cupcakes, start off by making the graham cracker crust. Follow the directions on the cheesecake kit to make the graham cracker mixture. Once you have the graham cracker mixture, smash down a thin layer of the mixture and form a crust in each individual paper cupcake holder. Make sure to have a thin layer of the graham cracker.

Next, follow the directions on how to make the cheesecake mix. Once you have all the cheesecake ingredients in a large bowl, mix with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Then mix on medium for 3 minutes straight. Your cheesecake mix will be thick and fluffy.

You can now take your mix by spoonfuls and apply on top of the graham cracker crust in each cupcake holder. After filling the cupcakes with the cheesecake mix, refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Gourmet Chocolate Dream Cupcakes

sewdancer@gmail.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:55:48 PDT

Ingredients

-Chocolate Devils food cake mix (any brand)

-creamy chocolate frosting (any brand)

-white chocolate flakes(or grind a chunk of white chocolate)

Utensils

-12 holed cupcake pan

-cooking spray or paper cupcake holders

Okay, this gourmet cupcake recipe is by far my favorite. It's also the easiest. First follow the instructions on the devils food cake box. Either spray your cupcake pan, or insert paper cupcake holders. Preheat your oven to whatever the directions say on the box. Once you have all your ingredients for the batter in a bowl, mix with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Then mix on medium for 3 minutes. This will make your gourmet cupcake batter more fluffier. Once finished mixing, pore batter into the cupcake pan, remember to spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray, or place paper cupcake holders in the holes. Fill each hole with the batter 2/3's of the way. Now place in oven for however long the box says for cupcakes. Once the cupcakes are finished baking, remove them from oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Once cooled, it's time for the frosting. Get a small zip-lock bag and spoon out the chocolate frosting into the bag and seal it. Push all frosting to one of the corners of the bag, now cut the tip of the corner off. Now you can squeeze the frosting onto the cupcakes in a circular motion to create a swirl design. But make sure your cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting. Once the chocolate dream cupcakes are frosted, sprinkle white chocolate flakes on top of the frosting. If you don't have white chocolate flakes, grind a chunk of white chocolate on a grinder(any kind) until you have flakes. You can serve the cupcakes now, or refrigerate them and serve them later. This gourmet chocolate dream cupcake recipe makes 12 cupcakes. Hope you enjoy!
