Cupcakes!

It seems today these tasty bites are a hot trend - they can be everywhere from playful and whimsical to sophisticated and modern. Not just for children's birthday parties anymore, many brides and grooms are opting for cupcakes as their wedding cakes. Personally, I wish I had thought of cupcakes when planning my wedding!

Recently I made a few batches of cupcakes and played around with different flavors to help a friend decide what kind of cake she wants for her wedding.

The bride has chosen chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, my husband enjoyed the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and I liked the red velvet with cream cheese frosting.

I need to work on the s'mores cupcake to make them more... s'morey. You should probably be able to tell what flavor it's supposed to be without being told!

My very sweet husband got me Martha Stewart's new cupcake book last time we were at the bookstore. It was the very last copy there so I snatched it up and put on my puppy eyes. It didn't take much convincing either, he knows there's going to be some sweet treats in it for him!

Can't wait to start trying new recipes!
