I’m Dreaming of a Cupcake Summer

I’m not really dreaming of a cupcake summer, I’m actually living it. My daughter has been very busy with Les Miserables rehearsals in the evenings, but her days have been mostly free of obligation. So what has she been doing with her days? She has been working her way through Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book. We have been enjoying her cupcake adventures. I just hope my winter clothes still fit.

Blueberry Cupcakes

She made Blueberry Cupcakes for 4th of July. These cupcakes were delicate with a light and fresh whipped cream frosting. We added raspberries to complete our red, white and blue theme.

Mini Trifle Cakes

Next she made the Mini Trifle Cakes (This recipe came from the Cupcake Doctor cookbook not Martha). My daughter made these to go with the Barbeque Ribs. These cakes tasted delicious after the ribs.

Raspberry Marble Cheesecakes

Raspberry Marble Cheesecakes were the next “cupcake” adventure. These were so good—The perfect cheesecake bite.

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

We hadn’t even finished the Raspberry Marble Cheesecakes when she made Snickerdoodle cupcakes with the most delicious frosting. The frosting tasted like smooth and creamy marshmallows. Yum.

And, she isn’t finished yet. I think she plans to make the Peanut Butter and Chocolate cupcakes next. I’ll let you know.
