They came out really nice, I think!

2010-02-27T09:59:00.000-08:00

The other day I made chocolate mousse and cupcakes ... and new recipe for Devil's Food cupcakes which are out of this world (not that I ate any but everyone loved them)....

I made a frosting that was also a new recipe... They were "perfect!" I spent yesterday afternoon in town, "giving away" my cupcakes to local workers in different stores/restaurants... The people at the Sushi Shop really LOVE ME and sometimes offer me a free this or that as a nice gesture...Even the woman who manages a really nice and cute kitchen utensil store offered me a little gift when I went there to say hello and gave her a cupcake and cake ball... She and I chatted for about 20 minutes as she didn't have any clients to help...

Then I went to the chocolatier on the same street... and gave some of the girls there a few cupcakes and cake balls... It's so nice how people respond is such a positive manner when I give away my baked goods! Which is one of the reasons WHY I love to do it... Just to see people enjoy them!!!

Anyhow... it's nothing new for me, as I did this about every week in San Diego... giving away my baked goods to everyone and making more friends along the way... Funny how food does that to people!! They always say, "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach." There should be an equal expression for making friends like, "Make a friend over a cupcake or a brownie!"

Anyhow... I enjoy giving away my things almost as much as I enjoy baking them!!!

You're a STAR!

Well, I made some cupcakes over the weekend, princess-themed! Hey, since I'm the "Cupcake Princesse," I should have these under my belt, right?

So, don't scratch or lick your computer screen! But, if you are ever in Paris, give me a shout and I will make you something!!

Yummy chocolate cupcakes with milkchocolate frosting

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate gananche

2010-01-24T13:44:00.000-08:00

I'm looking to find the "perfect" chocolate cupcake" recipe. This was my first batch and they turned out really good- firm crumb, moist, soft on the top. The frosting was the BEST part, though- milk chocolate whipped ganache- it's one of my favorites!

Fall Seasonings.... pumpkin-cranberry pecan muffins with candied orange

2009-11-22T11:12:00.000-08:00

I made these delicious muffins from real pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin! It was a HUGE success and as a result, I will never use canned pumpkin again! They were moist and delicious and each bite was wonderful experience in gustation.

"Black and White" theme

2009-04-12T13:57:00.001-07:00

I made these for a Black & White Party this weekend. It's hard to get a black frosting- it turns out gray rather than black and doesn't really look to appetizing. I used a milk chocolate ganache topping instead of a dark chocolate one. They turned out really pretty....

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes!

2009-04-12T11:06:00.000-07:00

This was a total improve for me since I had a whole bunch of vanilla cupcakes left over. It was from a recipe I found for "moist" vanilla cake, but the density was more like a shortcake biscuit rather than a "cupcake. Didn't want them to go to waste so I cut the cupcakes in halves, used some sliced strawberries soaked in honey, and whipped up some whip cream. Piped some white chocolate gananche frosting on top- et Voilà, strawberry shortcake cupcakes.

Rainbow cupcakes!

2009-04-04T00:34:00.001-07:00

I made these the other day for a spring mix... They came out pretty!

Tiramisu as a cupcake!

2009-04-01T00:05:00.000-07:00

One day, as I was thumbing through the pages of a lovely cucpake book, I found a recipe for a tiramisu cupake. I never thought of the idea of tiramisu as a cupcake but the idea SURE sounded good to me, as I really LOVE tiramisu! It looked beautiful and lucious, with it's multi-layers of cream! Yum, yum!! Soooo, I knew that I would have to try it out! I sure wasn't sorry after tasting this delicious cupcake!

More chocolate swirls...

Made an order for Nathalie the other day... Turned out really YUMMMY!!!!

Easter Cupcakes.....

2009-03-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

These cute cupcakes come just in time for Easter. Well, I know Easter is a few weeks off, but I'm getting ready early. I made these to share with local merchants and others in town, to give them a sample of my baking! I laid Jelly Belly's, as well as an assortment of Easter chocolates from Jeff de Bruges on top of the frosting for decoration. Inside this moist chocolate cake was chocolate whipped cream! YUMMM!!!

Carrot cake cupcakes by Garance!

2009-03-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

These beautiful and delicious cupcakes were made today by Garance during my very first, "Cupcake Fun" baking class! These cupcakes turned out very moist and tasty! We made a citrus icing for them rather than a cream cheese frosting. I think they turned out wonderfully! Great job, Garance! I had a nice time meeting you and your mom and aunt.

Chocolate swirl cupcakes!

2009-03-21T10:33:00.000-07:00

This cupcakes are ABSOLUTELY delicious!! Moist, smooth, and chocolatey. The cream filling gives it an extra softness as it melts in your mouth.

Trying out new recipes for the spring!

2009-02-21T05:20:00.001-08:00

It was fun! Over the past few weeks, I've been baking up cupcakes like crazy! Here are some of the ones I made. These were a white cake- most and dense, with zemon zest and an ever-so light lemony taste. Whipped white chocolate ganache tops these lovelies and adds are really rich taste to compliment the cake. YUM!!!

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

2009-02-14T16:07:00.002-08:00

These were a variation of the pistachio cupcakes I made the other day. These were made with almond powder. I melted some milk chocolate and spread it over the top of the cupcakes. It was a delicious combination.

Wedding cupcakes...

2008-10-19T08:01:00.001-07:00

It's a first for me, but I managed to pull off 90 cupcakes for Jess and Nico's wedding party this weekend... Jess made the ganache frosting (yay). I arrived at the hostess' house a few hours before the party and frosted the cupcakes. I elicited the help of two girls at the party (around 12/13 years' old) to make the cream cheese frosting.

At first they were a little shy and unsure- the recipe was in English and with American measuring cups/spoons). But, after I explained the directions to them... they went at it "full steam ahead" and the frosting was a great success!!!! Plus, we had fun! They really wanted to taste the carrot cake cupcakes so I let them split one and it seemed like they had found Heaven!! They were sooo thrilled with the success of their endeavor that I told them to make sure they told everyone that it was them who made the delicious frosting!!!

As it turned out - the carrot cake cupcakes turned out to be a GRAND SUCCESS with everyone!!!

P.S. - If you take a good look at the cupcake stand, it was Jess' dad who constructed it from scratch... It looked professional!!! Also, the "Magic 8 Ball" was a game - Upon taking a cupcake, you had to ask the Magic 8 Ball a question and then flip up the little paper magic 8 ball on the toothpick to find the aswer.. It was very cute and very original as an idea!!

OPERATION CUPCAKE....

2008-10-17T05:02:00.001-07:00

a big day ahead of me--- as I have to be at work from 3- 8:15 p.m.

G's Pirate Party last weekend!

2008-10-08T23:18:00.000-07:00

I made cupcakes for one of my students last week. He just turned 5 years old... So cute! Here are some pics from the party that his mom sent to me.

Birthdays ABOUND!!

2008-09-07T08:58:00.000-07:00

It's a month of birthdays and I'm in the mood for baking cupcakes!! I found the MOST delish recipe for both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and I made a marbled cupcake.. adding food coloring into the white cake batter to get a lovely pink shade!! I took cupcakes to one of my student's who turned 5, some to the family of new students and some to the gym, of all places!! I had to get them out of the house, quick! Otherwise, I would have kept eating them.. they were THAT good!!! See for yourself--- the pictures say it all!!

Ist order of cupcakes....

2008-07-11T15:36:00.001-07:00

I did my first order of cupcakes for the wedding anniversary of my friend's in-laws. Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting... with a hint of lemon in the frosting! White frosting tinted light green with a light purple flower in the center and purple flaked sugar as decorations... They turned out very pretty!!!

Delicious CUPCAKES come in all colours and flavours!
