Tiramisu Cupcakes. Tiramisu cupcakes, because they are served cold, are a refreshing way to beat the end of summer heat. Making tiramisu cupcakes is not an original idea; many cupcake bloggers have made cupcake versions of tiramisu. The common way of making tiramisu cupcakes is to start with a basic yellow or white cupcake recipe, flavor it with some rum and coffee, and top it with mascarpone, whipped cream, and cocoa powder. While I would never turn down tiramisu cupcakes made that way, they miss out on what is to me the key feature of tiramisu – the topping to cake ratio. Tiramisu has very little cake (ladyfingers) and LOTS of mascarpone and whipped cream topping. Tiramisu’s ladyfingers are like circus ringmasters: they keep everything together, but no one goes home talking about them. The rum, coffee, mascarpone, whipped cream, and chocolate are the clowns, elephants, contortionists, unicycle rider, and man flying out of a cannon.

Especially those that involve a lemon curd (As evident in this post, and this one as well). There is just something about the tartness mixed in with the sweet that is what makes me love these types of desserts. Or maybe it is the fact that the weather can't seem to make up it's mind and is fooling me into thinking it is Spring. Whatever it is, I was craving some lemon curd and now that the hubby can take away any treats I make to work, it's free game in my kitchen once again as I don't have to worry about these sweets being around after I taste one.

I'm sure my hips thank me for that one as well. These cupcakes invoke Spring and while we aren't quite there yet, meyer lemons are in season now and when I saw a bag at the grocery store, I pounced!

Key Lime Cupcakes. I don't think there are enough key lime cupcake recipes out there. When I got the idea to make some, I didn't find many recipes on the Web and I ended up adapting a lemon cake recipe.

The result was a moist cupcake lightly fragrant with key lime, which was echoed in the frosting. To boost the key lime factor, you can add more zest. Lime oil is another possibility, but adding more juice could dilute the batter. But considering the praise these got, I think their lime factor was just fine.

Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Saturday, 12th March 2011 If you haven’t noticed, all I can think about lately is warmer weather. It’s surprising because as I write this I am facing the window and all I can see are giant falling snowflakes.

But today is no different; I have summer on the brain. So what’s a girl to do? I whipped up a batch of Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes in honour of my favourite season, summer. Growing up we didn’t often indulge in sweet baked treats like cupcakes or frosted cakes. The fridge was always stocked with fresh fruit and during the summer months we need only walk out the back door to the yard to pick fresh peaches, apricots, pears, apples or grapes from my father’s carefully tended to garden. The one treat we always had on hand was ice cream. I vividly remember one day when my mother came home from her weekly shop with a very special treat. And here began my love for Hot Fudge Sundaes. Just looking at it makes you dream of summer. Chocolate Cupcakes. Gourmet Cupcakes-Vanilla Cupcakes-Cannoli Recipe-Chocolate Whipped Cream.

Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 24th June 2011 I love my Italian Pastries and I love Gourmet Cupcakes (who doesn’t?)! I decided to take the flavours and textures that I love from two of my favourite desserts, Cannoli Siciliani and Cupcakes and roll them into one amazing gourmet Cannoli Cupcake. I filled moist Vanilla Cupcakes with creamy Chocolate Chip-Ricotta Cream.

I frosted with a light Marsala spiked Chocolate Whipped Cream. I knew I had a winning cupcake on my hands when all I could hear coming from the visiting group of teenage boys was “mmm”. One of the boys was quick to say, “I wish my Mom would bake”. When I was assembling my cupcakes the tiny cannolis were disappearing quicker than I could fill them. I think the tiny cannoli was the best way to top the cupcake. I couldn’t be happier with the Vanilla Cupcakes; they were extremely moist, exactly what I want in a cupcake.

Cupcake Camp New Haven has come and gone and I’m so happy to have participated! It was a nerve-wracking couple of weeks leading up to the event for a couple of reasons. First, I was questioning my sanity about putting myself “out there”; I am just a home baker after all and I knew the event would be filled with area professional bakeries.

And second, I couldn’t decide on a final flavor to make. But once I had that final flavor chosen, made, and tasted, all of my worries were washed away in a sea of caramel frosting. This cupcake boosted my confidence and sent me on a sugar high for the rest of the weekend.

After a long hiatus, this blog is finally back in action. During the past few months of this break I've been able to concentrate on school and clean up my diet. Perhaps a greater influence on my blogging than my academic schedule has been my attempt to overcome my dependency on sugary sweets. Today I am very happy to say that one of these bad boys is the first homemade treat that I've had in months. And as delicious as it was, there was something different. The way I felt when I ate it was different...less ravenous.

I savored every bite of it, but when it was over I didn't run back for more. Now although this new found lifestyle may mean great things for me, I'm not exactly sure what the significance is for my blogging. These cupcakes were made using the leftover batter I had after making a pumpkin bundt cake for an end-of-the-semester/Christmas party on Wednesday night.

Caramel Apple Pie Cupcakes « The Craving Chronicles. It seems like once the weather cools down everyone wants to jump right into pumpkin season. Don’t get me wrong, I love pumpkin as much as anyone else, but to me September is apple season. I was thinking about how often apples get overshadowed by pumpkin a few weeks ago when my husband asked me if I wanted to attend a dinner party with some of his coworkers. “Hrmmm. Maybe…”, I said. “They asked us to bring some kind of food to share”, he said. That was all I needed to hear. Not one to pass up an opportunity, I agreed, “I’ll go… but only if I can bring dessert.” It took me a while to decide on an approach for these cupcakes. Ultimately, I decided the best way to pack that punch of apple flavor into a cupcake was to use apple pie filling.

I was apprehensive while putting these cupcakes together. In the end, they didn’t. They tasted approximately a million times better than I had imagined.
