Strawberry Lemonade Infused Cupcakes [Recipe]

As I try to fight the end of summer, I am compelled to continue to bake things summery. Usually I’m all for fall and fall flavors and I will eventually get there, but why rush it…right? The best part about these lemonade cupcakes is that they are actually infused with Lemonade. The cupcakes are pierced and a syrup is poured inside and then they are frosted. Pure Lemony Perfection!

Peanut Butter And Jelly Cupcakes [Recipe]

When you think about a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich, you are instantly thrust back to the school yard and the taste of the best food combination on the planet; or at least so you thought so at the time.  Wash that sandwich down with some chocolate milk and you were ready to take on the biggest slide in the park.

This PB&J delight is topped with a Nutter Butter cookie and infused with strawberry jam throughout.  The good part is, you are not a kid anymore and you can eat these before dinner.

Warning – baking too long can cause these to be dry.  Monitor your bake time closely.

Banana Caramel Cupcake Towers

I have to admit, I wasn’t ready.  I had know idea what I was in for. I actually had to make this twice because the banana cupcakes came out so good, and I got a phone call interrupting my baking so I just served those up.

The second time I completed the recipe, the third time, I added cherries in between and on top.  The possibilities are endless!  Like the recipe advices, follow the directions and make two batches.  Multiplying everything by 2 to make one big batch does not work well.  What are you waiting for…..Click the recipe button and bake!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes [Recipe]

With all my recipe searches, it all starts with a craving, and mine was for sugar and cinnamon. I came across this recipe and it combined the two ingredients exquisitely while reigniting my love for an old time favorite, Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

You will actually have to go and buy the cereal itself because the recipe will involve, Cinnamon crunch powder which is created by putting the cereal in a baggie and hitting it with a meat tenderizer. Before you beat the pieces into powder you have a delightful granola looking snack that you will find a lot more uses for – cake toppings, ice cream toppings, cereal toppings….I have literally been putting this on everything.

Butter Cream Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

These delicious treats are a hit at any party for any occasion.  As is my goal, I will try to make each and every recipe.  The key when making these is being careful with how much cupcake mix you put in the bottom of the cone.  It will rise a lot more then you think.  I suggest backing a few at various levels to determine how much you want the batter to rise.  Then make the remaining cones to that height.  If they don’t rise high enough then you won’t get the ice cream look.  If it over rises it will spill over and split apart.

Experiment with different toppings.  These are so much fun.
