I was really excited when I heard about this month’s Mystery Box ingredient. It’s something that I feel is underrated and unfairly mocked, even by food professionals (such a shame). I think it’s lovely and actually just misunderstood.
White chocolate is a unique ingredient, and while dark and milk chocolate have hordes of rabid fans, you’d [...]

The Popularization Process
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010Uncommonly Awesome
Saturday, August 14th, 2010Well 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?

More Cupcakes!!
Sunday, July 18th, 2010I was sad when it was announced that Iron Cupcake: Earth was no more. It was a significant factor in my getting seriously interested in pastry, leading me to experiment with recipes and learn how to make a real buttercream.

Monday, January 18th, 2010I’m back out of my on-again-off-again hiatus to give you a little something I whipped up for this month’s Iron Cupcake.
Iron Cupcake: Music II
Saturday, October 24th, 2009“In a prehistoric dried up lake
A million years after the last earthquake
There lived a little girl who loved to bake
The only thing she made was cake and all she used was salt
That’s all she had, it’s not her fault
Saline the Salt Lake Queen”
- Rasputina
This was the first idea I had upon learning what this month’s [...]
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”

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009If you like these cupcakes, please vote for them in this month’s Cupcake Hero competition!
These might look a little familiar to anyone who has bothered to read ALL the way back on this blog…back to when the pictures were horrible instead of slightly-less-than-horrible…
