Just like there are triple chocolate cupcakes, there are also triple coconut ones. In this case, the coconut flavor comes from the combination of coconut flour, shredded coconut and coconut oil. Since these cupcakes are gluten free (and therefore somewhat healthier), they also contain eggs, sea salt, agave nectar and baking soda.) The frosting is a gluten free key lime, made from heavy cream, agave nectar and key lime zest. The results are tangy and coconut-y and completely irrisistable!

Creamsicles – yes, the tasty ice cream treat – become cupcakes in this daring recipe. The batter is made from vanilla cake mix, a can of orange pop (or soda, depending on what part of the country you live in) and all of the items that the cake mix requires. The frosting consists of Cool Whip, skim milk, vanilla pudding mix, the juice of one orange and orange food coloring to give it that perfect creamsicle flavor. Think back to your childhood as you eat these scrumtious cakes!

Many people have heard of zucchini bread, and have eaten the vegetable in a number of other ways, but – paired with chocolate and in cupcake form? What? Yes, that is exactly what these treats consist of: grated zucchini, cocoa powder, cinnamon, chocolate chips and a whole host of other more “traditional” ingredients. The frosting is made from cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar – plus some chopped walnuts to place on top once your dessert is done.

Chestnut Cupcakes with a Swirled Chocolate topping are delicious winter addictions for serving together with a mug of hot chocolate. This is a warm welcome from the cold outside for everybody’s heart and tum. The chestnut puree in the ingredient content makes them really magical and more-ish. The frosting consisting of cream cheese mixed with melted chocolate swirled on top of the cupcake is a taste beyond imagination, and an encouragement for chestnut cupcakes as definite ‘must haves.’

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are an amazing treat that works well with most holiday celebrations, any gathering or birthday or for just a tasty snack. This homemade recipe includes such rich ingredients as butter, whole milk, sour cream, pure vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. With ingredients like that the flavor proves to be rich and full bodied. The cream cheese frosting is rich as well with cream cheese, sour cream, butter, sugar and vanilla. These are truly an amazing flavor experience.

With the tangy taste of vanilla bean, these sour cream cupcakes are certainly awesome tasters and ideal for serving on any occasion. Or else, when feeling the need for an extra burst of energy, just nibbling these cupcakes well give you a necessary quick fix of sugar. When making them for children’s parties, a special effect is twirling the frosting with the same colors as the cupcake liners and then decorating them with sprinkles or smarties.

when i miss you a lot i think about how it is early early morning where i am and that means you are asleep and maybe, you got that way by listening to slow songs or maybe just by worrying about enough things that your brain couldn’t handle it anymore and you just fell asleep
or maybe once in a while, thought about me
because that is how i get to sleep, sometimes
thinking about you
and it is a comforting way, comforting to bring sleep to someone’s mind and body
in a way that is kind of a promise but not verbal and maybe better that way
or better in some ways, maybe
and there is a lot of wondering going on
about how things feel, how they will feel in the future
but there is no way to tell so i do not promise anything
but it is safe to say
that when i am going to sleep
i think about you, often
and i feel safe, doing that

the heat of electronics
distance me from the people that i have met in this country

what the hell is a bird? how can you explain that?
i know i think about this probably too much
proof of evolution or proof of creation
existing mutually exclusively from hot plates
if i had one more month in this place i would rent a shack in langa for a month
with a sink and one outlet in it
and it would cost me fifteen dollars
and i would smoke a lot of drugs
and i would also talk to a lot of people
and i would also feel probably very good and be very hot
and listen to a lot of hilarious music
and i would learn more than i ever would at school
and also feel better than i am going to feel this upcoming summer, i think
i don’t know i just have a feeling
this summer was so perfect, i feel like i owe the world some time
being sad
as if last year was not enough
maybe i’m set for the next year or so
maybe the balance has already occurred
maybe i don’t owe anything
maybe it doesn’t work that way
hate christmas shopping and want to sort of push over every tree i see wtf this is africa there is nothing african about christmas VS i sort of want to live in a shack with vicki
inside of one this weekend with a hundred photographs taped to the wall
peeling corners and smudges of dirt and water
acidic tape yellow discoloration
i don’t want to leave this simplicity
i don’t want to leave this simplicity
i don’t want to leave this simplicity
i do not want to leave this simplicity
i want to gift wrap it for your christmas gift
inside of week old newspapers and black inky hands and wash my hands in pure, clean sand and no water
just rub it in the lines and formations
and in order for me to see something clearly truly it has to be without my glasses on and exactly two and a half inches from my face
YOU WERE NOT ACTUALLY IN FRONT OF ME AND I FELT GOOD FOR YOU ABOUT THAT
I KNEW YOU WERE BEAUTIFYING YOUR BRAIN
DECORATING IN EXUBERANT COLORS
AND SMALL INSECTS
and push pins
you came up behind me and put your hands over my eyes and said guess who and your hands were dark brown
and i know that if someone did that in the united states i could probably figure out who it was in two seconds
because so few people at my school are not white
and when you put your hands on my eyes i didn’t have any clue and i couldn’t think about anything but about fucking sociology class
if we talk about race the more real it becomes i guess
or if we ignore it we are being historically insensitive and denying physically fucking tangible inequality
plastic cups and straws
i had to buy a train ticket in advance to go and see you
ethan is going home to zimbabwe this weekend
on an eighteen hour bus
i said i took an eighteen hour bus ride once
and i loved it and hated it and all of that
it is a twenty two hour plane ride from johannesburg to new york
and an eighteen hour bus ride from cape town to johannesburg
"my favorite type of people in the world are overweight middle aged women"
"yeah they fucking rule"
engineering cables and poles and pipes and shit
i made you a plate of birthday cupcakes
we bought bags of sugar
and five large bottles of cooking oil
he put them inside of a duffel bag and i watched him wrap them in newspaper
he said when i go home for the first time in two years we will have the biggest chicken in the yard
i watched him write down his address in my notebook
you are leaving! you have a bus to catch at the end of this week
something is pretty about leaving
something is pretty about leaving
something is inevitable about leaving!
double u double u double u dot com
fix your hair like it is a hat you wear often
a girl who thought she was relatively smarter than everyone at ftp last year told me that she covered the mirror in her dorm room and she often wore high rise pants
and also blouses that looked like ones that older, bisexual, gray haired women would wear
on purpose
or a photographer from belgium during the great depression
you knew you were to be considered pretty by the likes of your peers
thanks to the fucking internet
but i was bothered by this but was i really that bothered by this?
i did not really bother myself with you
i think i have thought about you like three times ever including this time but and and but and thus
i knew you were sort of smart
but it was ruined by the fact that you knew it, in an unattractive way
you never mentioned it but i could sense it
people who cover their mirrors always know they are pretty
it’s not about denouncing public perceptions of beauty
it’s about already thinking that you fit into the public concept of beauty
you thought you were excessively pretty
and that ruined everything!

Gluten free cupcakes and other treats are one of the biggest food trends of the moment.

These chocolate-nutella spider cupcakes aren’t quite as scary as they sound. They are made from standard chocolate cupcake batter (you can use a mix of a from-scratch recipe, it doesn’t matter) and decorated with pretzels, Cocoa Puffs cereal, melted chocolate, chocolate sprinkles (the latter two go on the pretzels to make the spider legs) and Nutella. The Nutella acts like a standard frosting, and holds the Cocoa Puffs onto the top of each treat. These spiders are more tasty than scary!

This is an opportunity to learn new recipes, to sample a recipe before you try it on your own, and to gather with an intimate group of friends to chat and discuss all your favorite baking techniques. Another great thing about a cupcake exchange party is that you usually get to take a sampling home with you.

When baking for others, the important thing is to know what they enjoy most in a cupcake. Cupcake recipes have evolved into more than sugar and flour and baking powder. Some cupcake recipes include such ingredients these days as zucchini, beets, and even liquor.

Turning a cupcake into a seat for a mermaid can only be accomplished with plenty of fondant frosting and a little creativity. Fondant is kind of like clay, only it is completely edible and tastes as sweet as the cupcakes that it goes on top of. To make the fondant mermaid, you will need fondant in six different colors, tylo glue to hold everything together (this can be made at home as well), pearl dragees to serve as accents and, of course, a host of tools to help make everything. It takes time and patience, but the (edible) results are worth it!

Raspberries give a sweet zing and bursts of colour, with rosewater providing a wonderfully subtle floral scent. The decoration on these cupcakes is undeniably beautiful. Using actual rose petals sprinkled with sugar is a lovely touch which lends itself brilliantly to a themed tea party, and positioned on a tiered cupcake stand, would make a stunning substitute for a traditional wedding cake.

This Carrot Pineapple cupcake recipe is a god send for parents whose children are especially susceptible to sugar. Using agave instead of white processed sugar, these treats remain sweet but they are less likely to cause the “sugar high” that causes so many problems in children. The peeled and shredded carrots and pineapples add texture which some children have an aversion to, but pureeing these may alleviate this problem while preserving the flavor.

Peanut Butter chip Brownie Cupcakes are a wonderful comingling of chocolate and peanut butter. If you like peanut butter cups, you will love these treats. With a whole cup of butter and 4 eggs though, get ready for a rich dessert. The ¾ cups of unsweetened cocoa powder coupled with the 2 cups of white sugar balance the scales though making it as sweet as it is rich. No frosting needed for this cupcake, all the flavor is already there.

I’ve been meaning to post close ups of my pony shelves for the past week, I ended up postponing it as I had more reinforcements coming in the mail. Since the new ponies have arrived I have updated my G3 collection pic and taken close ups of the shelves.

Showgirl cupcakes are your basic wonderfully tasty baked dessert. Lots of butter, eggs, and whole milk make this a rich treat and the flavor filled mascarpone frosting is the perfect finishing touch. One of these rich and full flavored cupcakes is about all you can eat at a time, but one is so completely satisfying that is enough. These can be decorated to fit any décor or party theme and are perfect for both children and adults.

Oh what a treat when you can mix two favorite desserts such as you do with this Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes. You start with a chocolate cupcake, (although if vanilla is more your fancy that could surely be substituted) and add a scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. Lightly drizzle chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream followed by a cherry on top of it all and there you have it; the perfect ice cream sundae cupcake. Add a banana and some pineapple sauce and you have created a banana split cupcake. The possibilities are endless with these ingredients.

These are cupcakes with a difference. They could easily be mistaken for carrot cupcakes or even little Zucchini breads. However, the ingredients are really dates, figs, almonds and chicory and are finished off with a topping of almond butter frosting. They are most appetizing to look at and very delicious to munch. Furthermore, they are most tasty for starting the day with, and to nibble at breakfast time with your cup of tea.

There is no rule stating that cupcakes have to be sweet, sugary confections coating in frosting. In fact, these mini chicken parmesan meatloaf cupcakes are baked in a cupcake tin – just like “regular” cupcakes, and there is no sugar anywhere in the recipe! Instead, they consist of ground chicken, cheese, eggs and some vegetables. When mixed together, sprinkled with breadcrumbs and baked in the aforementioned cupcake tin, they are just as tasty as “regular” cupcakes, just in a different, healthier way!

Are you ready for a sweet summertime surprise? Of course! These “surprise cupcakes” contain nectarines! Yes, you read that right. Nectarines. The summer fruit staple. The batter is made of nectarines, lemon zest, sugar, whole wheat pastry flour and a host of other things, most on the traditional “cupcake batter” side of things. Do not forget about the honey whipped cream frosting (made of honey and chilled whipping cream) as it is the perfect topping for these sweet surprises!

Chocolate cupcakes with 7-minute marshmallow frosting are a tempting treat for chocolate lovers and just sticky enough for kids to love them. The cupcakes are subtle; not too chocolaty or sweet. The frosting is sweet and gooey but not overpowering. Together these flavors create a balanced dessert that offers just the right amount of sweet. From start to finish this dessert takes about an hour to create, but it will take just a minute to devour the yummy goodness.

They could be called ‘muffins’, but that is too boring, whereas, the word‘ cupcakes’ can whet your appetite, especially first thing in the morning. Coffee Cake cupcakes are an awesome and novel change for a breakfast treat, to munch with your cup of tea or coffee. The topping of lowfat Greek yogurt with a drop of almond or vanilla extract added, pecan nuts or walnuts for decoration, certainly, makes this is a perfect breakfast to indulge in!

These delicious mouth-watering German frosted chocolate cupcakes tempt you with ingredients of buttermilk, sour cream and coffee whisked together. This yummy recipe is ideal for entertaining visitors at any tea party, as the mixture makes at least fourteen extra large cupcakes or much more smaller ones. The chocolate frosting consists of a mix of melted butter with cocoa and coffee. Otherwise add powdered milk and sugar and for extra flavor, stir in a little vanilla.
