Everybody love those delicious truffles we get from our loved ones during the holidays. They have the perfect combination of sweet crunchy nutty. So do these cupcakes. Ive taken chocolate cake and filled it with Nutella ganache and finished it with chocolate mousse covered in walnut pieces.
One of my favorite drinks from Starbucks is a venti soy no whip cinnamon dulce latte. Well, of course, I decided to take one of my favorite things and transform it into a cupcake. So here's the Scooter's Cupcake twist on a venti soy no whip cinnamon dulce latte. Angel food cake topped with cinnamon buttercream and a dulce de leche drizzle...expect more cupcakes with angel food, it is absolutely heavenly!
When I think of summer I think of popsicles, fireworks, fishing, and the beach. Since I couldn't put fireworks, fishing, or the beach into a cupcake I picked popsicles. Dreamsicles to be precise. These little delights have orange cake filled with vanilla pastry creme and topped with homemade marshmallow fluff and a candy orange slice.
Of course I made carrot cake cupcakes for Easter! Traditional carrot cake cupcakes with actual carrot cake, cream cheese frosting, and garnished with sliced almonds and a royal icing carrot. I must admit, I had some help on these cupcakes. My boyfriend Jonathan made the orange part of the carrots and I made the grass. Nonetheless, these ended up amazing. And all of my family is here to celebrate Easter. Cupcakes + family + Penguins game (even though we lost today) = great weekend.
If you are craving something sweet these are the cupcakes to have. I do not usually try to attract one's sweet tooth but I figured I might as well add some diversity. 
These tasty tiramisu cupcakes are bite-sized! Thats right, I made minis! My mom and I attended a jewelry party and I brought these along with me. The perfect size for a party with many other sweets to enjoy. I made these by using my vanilla cake, which half was soaked in a secret coffee mixture. The icing is a mascarpone cheese based frosting and it was delicious. I garnished them by dusting with cocoa powder and adding a strawberry sliver to finish the minis. 
So my new thing I tried was glaze. This glaze and I got into a fight at first but after I burned some of my fingers, we settled our differences and it ended up tasting amazing. For these guys I made a lemon cake loaded with cranberries and topped with my new best friend, lemon glaze. When I served them they were still warm which made it even better! 
S'mores are one of my favorite summertime campfire treats. I could actually eat s'mores year-round. These wonderful cupcakes are my way of eating them year-round. The bottom of the cupcake has a graham cracker crust with melted chocolate as the second layer. Following the double layer crust is my signature chocolate cake topped with a homemade marshmallow fluff that has been toasted with a torch.
Forgive me for the low quality mobile upload for this photo. These two cupcakes are ones I wasn't sure of at first but ended up being my two favorites.
