Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cakes. Well these naughty little treats are well….naughty but oh so necessary.

It is not unusual to see ladies in bonnets driving to work in the morning or men decked out in full colonial garb grabbing coffee at a gas station. I kind of love it.

Now that the weather is nicer (or just not so oh-my-god-I’m-about-to-spontaneously-combust hot), we decided to visit a couple days ago – Instagram followers will remember the awesome candy apple we grabbed while we were there! I love fall – but I LOVE fall in Colonial Williamsburg. After a devastating computer crash, I lost many of my fall CW pics. Om nom nom.

Enjoy! Go. Cupcakes. Country Cleaver » A Bouquet of Roses – Just for You. A Bouquet of Roses – How To Make A Rose Ombre Cake I am a firm believer in the transferability of sugar through the computer screen.

There seems to be no need to actually consume sugar to result in a sugar high so lofty that would make even the most capable of diabetic meters shudder with fear. Instead of an number resulting on the screen, it would just quiver and scream, “Enough already!!”. Much like looking at Medusa would turn one to stone – looking at the cakes from this last week would turn one into an instant sugar fiend.

But for us Cake Week writers, we revel in it. Pushing the limits of our culinary expertise and our waistlines all in an effort to give you a sugar high and inspiration that will last beyond the minutes you will spend with us on the blogosphere. It is our gift to you. If you haven’t seen the sugar sins created this week, go visit these girls – STAT! My gift to myself will be paid back after spending the next 40 years on the hamster wheel treadmill.

I realize St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow & with a name like Kerry & a somewhat Irish heritage, I should probably be posting something dyed green or spiked with Bailey's. About that. I forgot St. Patrick's day was this month I made these instead. I suppose you could always spike them with Bailey's if you really wanted to be festive. It took me a long time to jump on board the cupcake trend. Also I just really love cookies. These cupcakes are a little bit of both and were so much fun to make. Maybe next time. And want to know a secret? They're baked with a double stuffed Oreo cookie on the bottom! They get kind of soft & dreamy & cake-like in the oven. And the cookies & cream whipped cream frosting? Why yes, I didcould eat it with a spoon for breakfast.

Side note: Never turn a mixer full of whipping cream & powdered sugar on full-on high unless you feel like cleaning your entire kitchen. Unrelated side note: Meet my newest love.

I watched my Grandmother’s face when she realized that I hadn’t handed her a hard boiled egg but rather a cake baked inside a real egg shell. Her eyes were filled with wonder and I could envision what she must have looked like as a tyke the very first time she saw a red balloon float across the sky or the the trunk of a giant elephant spewing a stream of water. “Crack it on the table,” I told her. Eggs were cracked, cupcakes were eaten, and I was perceived as a cupcake Houdini. Update 3/19/2012: For the basic instructions on these Easter cupcakes, keep reading.

Happy (Official) St. Patrick’s Day! | Milk & Honey. As I was making these Guinness Cupcakes, I couldn’t help but think of St. Patrick’s Days gone by. See, I never think of March 17 as the day for St.

Patrick’s Day celebrations. The parties, the shamrocks, the green beer – all that happened well before the actual day on a charming little holiday known as Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day. One word. It all started back in the 90s when a tavern owner in the University town of Champaign, IL decided his establishments were missing out on a lot revenue when the drinking holiday to end all drinking holidays fell over spring break when the students were away from campus and spending their beer money in tropical paradises instead (or if you’re like me, you didn’t have any beer money, let alone tropical paradise money, so you likely spent your St. Needless to say, the students liked this idea. Where do I sign up? Junior year, I had a particularly difficult exam scheduled that day. My green beer days have been replaced by days of cleaning and cupcakes. Purple Ombre Sprinkles Cake. Tomorrow is my birthday, and though I've reached the stage where birthdays don't excite me anymore I thought I would do a fun cake for this week since I didn't have anything else planned.

I wanted to do a crazy cake that was 100% just for me, just all the things I loved and have wanted to put into a birthday cake. And that means sprinkles and lots and lots of purple. Enter Steph's crazy purple ombré sprinkles cake with salted buttercream. I've always been in complete awe of all the amazing colourful layered cakes I see on different blogs, especially the gorgeous ones that have the ombré effect. I never though I'd be able to pull off one, it seemed like something that required patience and to be neat and meticulous and I can't do any of that very well. But since this cake was entirely for me, the only person I would be disappointing is myself if I failed so I went for it. I've had a really bad week. I used Wilton colouring gel and it worked absolute wonders. Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting. I do love baking with bananas. But somehow, I always seem to fall into a banana-baking rut by making the same old thing over and over.

Banana bread, right? You see those, um, aging bananas on your counter and your mind goes blank except for the banana bread. Now, a few weeks ago I broke out of my banana rut and made these cute little banana bites, and I was just overwhelmed by all the banana love that came my way from all you banana-fans out there. And so I was inspired, and I have been collecting banana recipes ever since. One last little observation — that frosting job that I did on the cupcakes involved a pastry bag and one of those little star-shaped decorating tips, which all sounds very fancy and complicated, but it’s as easy as easy can be. It’s a banana summer! Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting, from Bon Appetit Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting Ingredients 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1. 2. 3.

Root beer float cupcakes. It never takes long into the first hot week of the summer for me to get swept up in some sort of dorky nostalgia for a time or place I never knew, in this case, Main Street, U.S.A. with its drugstore soda counters counters, elaborate marble and stainless steel fountains manned by soda jerks serving five cent Cherry Cokes and root beers to bright-eyed youths that always said things like “Sir” and “Ma’am”. Of course, modern times call for modern formats, don’t they? Something you can pack up and bring to a barbecue or picnic? Thus I quickly became consumed with the idea of turning a root beer float into a cupcake; what I struggled to work out were the logistics. I started with a root beer cupcake, which was actually a chocolate root beer cupcake, adapted from the Root Beer Bundt Cake in one my favorite cookbooks that I so, so eagerly anticipate the follow-up to this fall, Baked.

I was hoping it would make a dozen cupcakes. It made 22. And then more whipped cream… Eat immediately. Cupcakes With Alcohol - How To Bake Alcohol Cupcake.

Nothing is more symbolic of Christmas than a candy cane and peppermint has been one of my favorite flavors for as long as I can remember. I’ll never forget taking trips to see my Grandma who lived in Kansas City around the holidays and there was a little ice cream shoppe that had the most amazing hand-dipped candy cane ice cream. I could hardly stand the three-hour drive from Springfield to KC in anticipation of that peppermint, creamy, frozen goodness! Such a good memory. So, I went searching for some awesome peppermint recipes and found so many, I almost didn’t know when to stop!
