Bloggers Cheryl of Cupcake Bakeshop and Garrett of Vanilla Garlic are hosting a second cupcake round-up event. I submitted my chocolate espresso cupcakes for the previous round-up back in January. To keep us cupcakers focused, Garrett and Cheryl have chosen the theme of "Re-Invention" for this round-up. Both bloggers are cupcake masters and they re-invent and re-interpret classic desserts into cupcake form on a regular basis. They also love the bounty of autumn and suggested that we should take advantage of the seasonal produce.

Pumpkin Pull Apart Muffins |

The bug has finally bitten me. In fact, it bit me long back- when Joy the baker had made her pull apart bread . Since then it had been on my to-do list (an ever growing to-do list)! Then, Kitchen corners did a pull-apart bread- a blueberry pull apart bread . I looked at it and wanted to make it but did not!

This post is chock full of tasty goodness (a quick but satisfying recipe and a new video!) so let’s just jump right in. First off, here’s the video. It’s the first in a two part series on cake baking and decorating. If you’re intimidated by baking a cake or just want to hear me blabber about how awesome and easy it is to make a cake (plus see some of my kitchen toys), take a look!

This may quite possibly be one of the easiest and most amazingly delicious recipes ever. It's great if you are having company over and want to make a quick, easy, dessert for everyone. Make it. You won't be sorry. If you don't make it, you will be sorry. Crust :

{Update June 26, 2012} – I am completely overwhelmed by all the pins for this blog post! I am so glad that so many people are enjoying these. And thanks for all of your great suggestions in the comments. I am definitely trying them frozen this summer! Since originally posting this recipes, I have made the glitter grapes with a few different flavors, but my favorite is still either Melon Fusion or Watermelon (depending on what I find at the store). I still have not tried them with sugar-free Jell-O, but I will try to get to that.

My sister-in-law Missy first introduced me to the concept of fruit pizza years and years ago, and here’s how: she brought one to my house and I proceeded to eat the whole thing. But it was small. And I was nursing. My mammary glands made me do it. I whipped up a whopper of a fruit pizza a couple of weeks ago using my good ol’ standby sugar cookie recipe…and it was so darn good in such a naughty, naughty way. Feel free to halve the recipe below and press into a smaller pan, or just split the full recipe in half and roll out two thinner pizzas.
