Maple cupcakes w/ cinnamon frosting

What a hit these little puppies where. I didn't even have enough frosting in the end, since every family member I have insisted on "trying" the frosting as I was decorating. Well the maple cupcake flavor wasn't strong enough and I wish I would have bought the extract like I wanted to, but I just had to make sure that using maple syrup wouldn't do the trick. It was still good don't get me wrong. The kids inhaled them faster than I have ever seen. Now for the frosting I just added cinnamon sugar mix & what was super neat about that was the regular sugar made them sparkly. So cupcake #2 was a success, again used a cake mix but want to try a couple more things before moving to cake from scratch. Did get a small cake decorating kit that had a bag and few tips, note the new look of the frosting. Well see you soon. Keep making, baking & creating!

My First Post

Well my newest passion is cupcakes. This all started with Pioneer Woman and her admiration of Bakerella. Now I am making, baking & creating! See my first cupcake at the right. OK it was Christmas and I didn't have too much time to spend on one item so the cake is a Red Velvet pre-packaged mix. The frosting is Bakerella's recipe and is delicious. I am so proud of how they turned out. I didn't even have any fancy piping bag it was strictly a sandwich bag with a corner cut off. So I was inspired to create my own blog and put my cupcake on it. Not sure where this will go, if anywhere. Certainly could be fun though.
