Nutella Cupcakes!

Okay, I decided to take Bree's suggest and use bananas in my Nutella Cupcake experiment!

I'm going to make Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting topped with a dried Banana Chip!

Look for pictures tomorrow or Wednesday!  

Summer Fruits!

I love fresh fruit in the summer!  These Cupcakes are Chocolate topped with Raspberries and drizzled with Terrapin Ridge Red Raspberry Dessert Squeeze from Martha's Vineyard.  Yummy!

They are a bit messy but worth every bite!  

Mmmm Nutella!

I love, love, LOVE Nutella!  In fact, I am sitting here on my computer with a jar of Nutella next to me and I am eating it straight out of the jar, yes I said it, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JAR!! Gross to some, maybe, but oh sooo delish!! :)

So, this leads me to cupcakes.  I love it on croissants (or out of the jar, apparently) but I want to make a Nutella Cupcake!  Within the next week look for my experimental Nutella Cupcake!  I'm thinking Nutella and maybe some raspberries?!  What do you think??! :)

Cupcakes for a birthday party!

I made Cupcakes for a birthday party today.  I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and S'mores Cupcakes.  

The Red Velvet Cupcakes boasted a variety of toppings.  Some had raspberries on them, some had candy hearts and some had sugared rose petals.  

I love them all but I really liked the raspberries!  Perfect for summer!

I met up with Amy Carroll and dropped off a couple for her and Jen to enjoy!

Love Songs

Okay, I know this isn't cupcake related but we are in need of help! 

As some of you may (or may not know) I am getting married in two months!! :)  Well, Dave and I are trying to decide on our first dance song.  This is difficult for us we don't remember the first song we danced to and all of the songs that are special to us aren't appropriate for a first dance song (example, too much rock, too much punk, too fast, etc.)

So, I'm asking for your help!  We are looking for love song suggestions!  What are your favorite love songs?  What song did you/are you using for your wedding?  What are some of your favorite unique love songs?  

I promise I will blog everything cupcake soon!! ;)  

Thanks and much love!!
