Nutella for the Fellas

This one is for all the Fellas… Happy Fathers Day!

I hope that all the Dads out there are having a great day and treating themselves to something special.  For the “Fellas” in my life, I made some Nutella (a chocolate hazelnut spread) cupcakes. What better way to say “you’re the best” than a special little sweet treat.

I made my favorite chocolate cupcake, filled it with Nutella, and topped it with a Nutella butter cream frosting and a few mini chocolate chips. If you like Nutella you will love these cupcakes.   They simply melt in your mouth.

Enjoy!

Picture This…

For my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary party, my sister-in-law ordered cookies that had their wedding picture printed on them.  They were so cute you almost didn’t want to eat them. (I said almost.) They were a great way to celebrate such a special event. Everyone talked about how wonderful they were for days after the party.

A couple of weeks ago I was thinking about them… so why not on a cupcake???

I took the leap and ordered a cake printing system. It finally arrive last week. I couldn’t wait to try it out.  So this weekend I made some for my neighbors kids.

To my surprise, the quality of the print outs were better than I expected. The lines were very crisp and clear and the colors were vibrant. I’m delighted with the results. 

Now, what other pictures do I have…  Mulligan on a cupcake anyone???

A Classic Foursome

People are always asking me “which flavors are your favorites”? My response is usually “the classics”. I love vanilla and chocolate.  This week I put together a classic foursome for some friends and family.  Foursomes aren’t just for golf.  My cupcake foursome is the equivalent of a hole in one!  Everyone loved them.

The classic foursome included: 

• Vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream frosting
• Chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting
• Lemon cake filled with lemon curd and lemon butter cream frosting
• Strawberry cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry cream cheese frosting
