Well well well. Guess what this month’s Cupcake Hero theme is. Could it be…my recently admitted least favorite berry? Yes, yes it could. But guess what. I remembered a totally awesome uncommon flavor combination that I really enjoy and was able to translate it well into a fittingly assembled cupcake.
Can you guess what it is?

Uncommonly Awesome
Saturday, August 14th, 2010Rethinking a Least Favorite
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Recently I thought to myself, while building an apricot-raspberry tart at work, that raspberries were my least favorite berries. Strawberries are sweet and seductive, blueberries (wild ones, anyway) are tiny and tart, blackberries are big and inky and juicy. But raspberries? Really not my thing, unless of course you count one of my favorite summer [...]
For Your Health!
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010This is going to be a rather unusual post, one of those rare, non-sugary things that I come up with every once in a great while. Not only that, but it’s flat-out healthy, and came together out of a particularly successful spring trip to the Greenmarket.
Humble Beginnings
Monday, March 22nd, 2010This is the first post in what will be an occasional little project I’m starting on this blog. You see, as much as I love cupcakes and coming up with ways to make them weird and wonderful, I think I bake them too much. Certainly for someone who has been working at a REAL restaurant [...]
A Very Tasty Date
Saturday, November 21st, 2009One thing I don’t really bake often is quickbread. I generally wait until I have some bananas or zucchini or something to use up before I start pouring things into loaf pans. And then – even if the results are REALLY good – I don’t bother sharing because they don’t photograph that well and I, [...]
Iron Cupcake: Music I
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009“But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I would gladly stay an afterthought
Just bring back some nice reminders”
Makin’ Friends… With Cake!
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Although I moved to the Very Big City all by myself (well, I brought Bowser, but he’s the kind of company that just makes a racket until I feed him), I manage to not feel lonely most of the time. In fact, less than a week after I got here, I was lucky enough to [...]
Gettin’ Fancy
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009One of the things I love most about living in New York is that I no longer have to drive an hour each way (or at all!) or even hunt for slightly unusual ingredients. Nope, many items that before I could only dream of finding are right in the generally dirt-cheap grocery store downstairs. Heaven, [...]
Healthyberry Blues
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Frozen yogurt is something I wanted to play around with some more, especially after the horrible bout of tummy aches I suffered recently, probably due to my excessive ice-cream-eating and cheese-nibbling. That’s a bad lactose-intolerant!
Traveling Cakes
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009I’m back from my apartment hunt and still catching up on basically everything, so this will be short. And sweet, or so I’m told.
