Monster Cupcakes

Wow!! I keep letting this blog go, don't I? I will try and do better!!!

I recently got my first box from the subscription company Foodstirs (you can find out more at their website HERE), and I finally got around to trying it out.

Included in the box were the ingredients and instructions, the cupcake mix, frosting mix, three different coloring packets (pink, blue, and green), a packet of purple sprinkles, a packet of chocolate chips, a pastry bag, and ten cupcake/muffin liners.

It was very easy to follow the steps to make the cupcakes, as well as decorating them.

My decorating skills aren't the best right now, but they turned out pretty well, and tasted great!!!

I am so glad I found out about Foodstirs, and I have already ordered a galaxy donut box, which will be arriving soon!!

Here are some pictures I took, of the process:

The outside of the final product.

Just before I put them in the oven to bake.

Like I said, I'm not the best decorator right now, but I hope to be able to perfect my skills in time. Thank you so much to Foodstirs for the opportunity to try your products out, and look forward to making more yummy treats in the future!!!

DC Cupcakes

For ages now, I have been a big fan of DC Cupcakes. It is a TV show about Georgetown Cupcakes, a bakery run by two sisters in the Washington, D.C. area, and they have/had their own TLC show that I love watching.

 

I am passionate about baking, so I was really happy when I found out about DC/Georgetown Cupcakes.

 

They ship nationally throughout the U.S., so if you have a taste for something sweet, you can go here, and check out what they have.

Enjoy!!

Chocolate Cupcakes and Cookie Dough

A couple days ago, I decided to make chocolate cupcakes from scratch, as we had a container of cocoa powder with a recipe on the back for cupcakes. They came out pretty good, and one of my brothers even liked them.

I also decided to make yet another batch of eggless cookie dough. That stuff is addicting!!

So, here are some pictures of the cupcake making process. Enjoy!

Made regular sized-ones, as I ran out of mini cupcake liners

Cupookie

I just found out about an amazing food business called Cupookie.

The designs on the cookies and cupcakes or so spectacular, and really professional looking. I would love to be able to get to that level of creativity in my baking someday.

I am so happy to have found out about Cupookie, and look forward to seeing what they do in the future!
