I thought you might be getting sick of reading about my cats and the mundane goings on of my life so today it’s all about the cupcakes. (and whoopie pies).

I’ve decided that every month we will feature 4 new special flavors in the shop. For January we’ll have Orange Cream, Spiced Apple Cider, Hot Chocolate Marshmallow and Hostess.

I finalized the Orange Cream Cupcake recipe yesterday. (I know it’s already January 5th!!) It’s an orange cake with orange buttercream. Very subtle, but still with an orange punch.

I’m going to be working on the Spiced Apple Cider cakes today. I’ll reduce cider to a thick syrup and use that somehow, either in a cream cheese frosting or as a drizzle. Not sure yet.

These are a random recipe that I had to make for the Daily Grind. It’s Pink Velvet with Raspberry Buttercream. I have a bunch of extra raspberry puree in the freezer so I thought it would be a nice reminder of Summer.

BTW: It’s been snowing here since Friday!

I’ve decided to use those white chocolate candy melts to make little “charms” for my cupcakes. Here I have a sparkly pink heart on top of the raspberry buttercream.

On the vanilla cupcakes I’ve been using these sugared blue charms. They’re cute, don’t melt into the icing and are easy to remove if you don’t want to eat them. Although, why wouldn’t you want to eat them?????

The cupcakes are on one of the new cake stands that I got for Christmas.

We also have big chocolate whoopie pies, which are delicious and when you lift the top off the cake stand, the smell is wonderful. I’m using a shortening free recipe and I love it. The filling is butter, marshmallow fluff, a little 10x and a splash of vanilla, so good.

And in case you thought we didn’t make cookies any more, these whales were made sometime between Christmas and New Years. Green whale favors tied with yellow ribbon. I love the whale, it’s cute and simple.

I’m working on Valentine’s Day this week and next week, so you can look forward to some new cookies soon.

PS If you’re in the Winter Swap, make sure to have everything ready to ship on Monday! I’ve got all the things that I purchased and will be making a bunch of things this weekend. Fun Fun!! (seriously, I think it’s fun!!)
