• Baltimore Cupcake Camp

    As I mentioned the other day, Toby and I went to cupcake camp on Saturday. I had never heard of cupcake camp, but apparently it’s a thing. The idea is a free place where people can share and eat cupcakes. Attendees had to sign up ahead of time for a free ticket, but not everyone […]

  • Sweet potato-pecan cupcakes with marshmallow meringue

    On Monday, I happened to see a post on Baltimore Diner about Baltimore’s first-ever Cupcake Camp. I had never heard of cupcake camp, but it sounded right up my alley. The idea is just a place to go and share/eat cupcakes. And there was a contest. One of the contest categories was “best use of […]

  • Georgia Bulldogs red velvet cupcakes

    My first two years of high school were in Arizona. Our football team was great — the best in the state, actually — and I dutifully wore my “Go Huskies!” ribbons and attended every home football game along with everyone else. I even went to the state championship game and rang a little cowbell with […]

  • Red, white and blue cupcakes

    I was thinking about making a three-layer cake for the Fourth of July — one layer red, one layer white and one layer blue. But I figured cupcakes would be faster and more easily share-able. And I was inspired by the rainbow cupcakes Isabel made a while back. Plus, I didn’t think Team America-themed cookies […]

  • Motocakes (chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting)

    If you read my post about the parties last week at our house, I’m sure you were wondering what I made for dessert. Because there is ALWAYS dessert. Well, I made these: And yes, those are EGAs on top. That is Eagle, Globe and Anchor. As in, the emblem of the Marine Corps. I called […]

  • Tropical carrot cake cupcakes

    Sorry I haven’t posted in a while; I was out of town. But I wanted to share what I baked for Easter/my dad’s birthday. We usually have coconut cake for Easter, but this year I wanted to something a little more bunnylicious. Carrot cake was a no-brainer. You may notice these photos were taken in […]

  • Orange chocolate chip Halloween cupcakes

    I usually wait a few days before posting things I’ve made (sometimes even longer), but I had to go ahead and show you these cupcakes I brought to work for Halloween. They are not difficult at all (though they are definitely easier with a microplane grater) and you still have time to make them for […]

  • Car bomb cupcakes

    Since I’m not baking anything right now, I thought I’d share the cupcakes I made for St. Patrick’s Day. I first saw them on Smitten Kitchen and I had wanted to make them for a while, but the opportunity didn’t really present itself until St. Patrick’s Day. The cupcakes are chocolate and Guinness. Then you […]
