Cookie Dough Surprise Cupcakes

Oops!  Ruined the surprise!  ;)  These little beauties were a suggestion of our friend, Sam, a cookie dough enthusiast.  They are dark chocolate cakes with a ball of frozen cookie dough inside (egg-free), topped with a delicious pink vanilla icing.  These were such a hit!  Only one of our friends guessed the surprise filling on his first try!  Skev sure knows his cookie dough!  :)




Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes

We decided to do something a little different for our friend Alley's potluck.  Turns out banana cream pie is her favorite treat, so these fabulous little cakes were just the ticket!  Each cupcake had its own crust and banana pudding filling, topped with vanilla buttercream icing and mini chocolate chips.  YUM!




SHARK WEEK!

We watched a TON of Discovery Channel shows during Shark Week ('cause we're nerdy like that) and were inspired to create a yummy cupcake to go with Jaws and friends.  After searching far and wide for gummy sharks, we finally created these dangerously good treats!  The chocolate cake is topped with ocean-colored vanilla icing, gummy sharks (of course), and red decorating gel for blood!  Once again.... a bloody delicious creation!

Campfire Cupcakes

Our good friend Amanda went to California for the month of August, so we had to make her some going-away cupcakes!  Much of her trip included camping, so these delicious cakes were just the ticket!  They are a chocolate cake topped with peanut butter icing, pretzel sticks for firewood, and orange-colored icing for flames.  To die for!




Green and Red Fourth of July!

These lovely, mis-colored 4th of July cupcakes were for a friend's cookout.  Don't fret!  We made red and blue ones too, but the green icing looked prettier :)



Day at the Beach

Hello followers!
It has been ages since our last post, so we have a lot of cupcakes to share!  First, these beach beauties are a similar cupcake to the lobster etc. design.  Graham cracker crumble on top of vanilla buttercream icing, which covers either a chocolate or vanilla cake.  Delicious!
