'Congrats on your New House' Cupcakes...

"Congrats" cupcakes are sometimes a challenge. I was pleased with how these turned out...

Mmmm....Lemon!

For the record....I am NOT a lemon person. I don't like lemon head candy, lemon ice, lemonade, lemon in my tea...I think you get the point. HOWEVER, these lemon cupcakes are delicious! The lemon flavor in the cake is light, more of a rich lemon flavor than a tangy lemon. The cake is topped with the cream cheese frosting and lemon zest. Mmmmm!

More Help...

When days get busy.... I can NEVER turn down free help. Even this little guy likes to help me in the kitchen. How can I say no to this face!?!

New Way to Eat Cupcakes!

So....if you've ever experienced a Hello Cupcake!....you know that they are sometimes hard to eat. The piled-high icing always seems to make the cupcake "flop" (as my sister would say) off the plate. I got creative, and this is the new way to eat cupcakes. Believe me, they are much better eaten out of martini glasses! Pictured below is the peanut butter topped with peanut butter cream cheese.

More Birthday Tie-Dye!

Forgot to turn on the flash....these were bright pink, yellow and purple!

Monster Truck Jam Birthday

What a fun order!?! Kid birthday parties allow for lots of color, creativity and fun decorations. These turned out great!

First dozen: tie dye topped with cream cheese and fondant decorations.

Second dozen: chocolate topped with buttercream.

More Mini's!

Mini variety: chocolate (peanut butter filling) topped with peanut butter cream cheese, banana topped with honey cinnamon buttercream, and coconut topped with with almond cream cheese!

Animal Print

Today was an 8 hour day of baking........and I'm tired! Look at my cute new animal print liners:

The cake is coconut and the frosting is almond cream cheese. My taste testers for the day said they were GREAT!

I LOVE and APPRECIATE feedback. Many people have told me that the 'comments' section under each post does not work correctly. While I'm working on this problem, I think if you click to leave a comment as "anonymous" it will work. If not, PLEASE send me an email (jessica.mandle@gmail.com). I love hearing from people and I take suggestions as much as possible.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped and supported Hello Cupcake!

Two New Flavors...MMM!

I only had my new mixer a few hours before I HAD to try new recipes. I've been baking long enough to know that new recipes are always a gamble. This time it paid off!

• Peanut Butter! These peanut butter cupcakes have a creamy peanut butter cream cheese frosting. They are VERY rich, but very delicious.
• Chocolate Suprise! These are a devil's food chocolate cake filled with a minature Milky Way candy and are topped with chocolate frosting. Again, VERY rich....but tasty!

Sorry for my lack of pictures. My "tester" cupcakes were not very pretty. Hopefully I'll get an order soon so I can have something to post.
