Getting to my roots...

So I feel like my creative juices are really going now! This latest cupcake takes me back to my island roots. Its a sweet plantain and coconut cupcake with dulce de leche butter cream! Soooooo yummy!!!! When I bit into it I was reminded of times spent in Puerto Rico. At first you get the sweet plantain and then the coconut comes right out afterwards. The Dulce de leche butter cream reminds me of the candy I used to eat in Puerto Rico. I am going to be using this recipe again!

Trying something new

So I've been looking around for new ideas and I came up with a Gingerbread Latte cupcake. Unfortunately after making it and thinking it was original I came across the cupcake project blog and found out it was not (tear). I still think its pretty damn good and do give myself credit for being in the creative shadow of someone so original. I do have many more tricks up my sleeve and even though some of them may have been done before, will proudly display them here.
Back to the gingerbread latte!! they were so moist, with just the right amount of spice. The coffee butter cream came out perfect! It was my first time attempting that one and I truly surprised myself. So far these are a hit!!!

Nervous!

I love to bake cupcakes! I love coming up with new ideas, flavors, frosting's, and having others try them. I've seen so many blogs about cupcakes I figured, why not?
I've come up with a lot of recipes so far. Some adventurous and some that are just plain yummy. Besides my husband and two daughters, cooking is my life.

So, here goes! The first cupcake idea that started it all. My Pumpkin bacon cupcake with Maple buttercream frosting.
