cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes

today was day one of my week long open house. it's off to a slow start, but i'm hoping for a good finish! 

so, today's post is a stretch on my trying something new for 31 days series, but i hope you won't mind after you take a gander at these lovely cupcakes.

my mom made these. 



vanilla cupcakes with a purply, vanilla icing.




the colors are just perfect! fun and festive!

and these are my favorite ... the ones with the spider webs, chocolate cake with peanut butter icing! yum!


the others are vanilla with peanut butter icing. now you understand where i get my cooking and baking skills! 



and these are the ones i mentioned yesterday. caramel apple cupcakes.



don't they look great!? so fun and different. and the recipe was pretty easy too! and those caramel bits i asked about yesterday melted up so nicely! 


if you'll excuse me, i'm off to enjoy a cupcake and a glass of milk!

so, what's your favorite cupcake flavor?

I'm going to have to go make cupcakes now or if you would just like to mail me a couple if you have any left over. I hope it went well today.

YUMMY & SO pretty too! Don't crucify me, but I'm a fun-fetti from the box kind of gal (I really have no business being in the kitchen at all you see). Those caramel apple ones look sooooooo delish :)

Oh Wow! What a talented Mom you have! All those cakes look mouth-watering. If I was to pick a favourite flavour it would be something fruity (raspberry or strawberry) but I have to say if I lived close by, I'd be first in the queue to try the toffee apple cakes. Good luck with the rest of the week's open house :). Pxx

Mmmmm . . . they all look yumalicious! My fave cupcake hands down is chocolatey fudge cake with cream cheese frosting, with a side of 30 extra minutes on the treadmill :o)

Thanks for sharing!

Wish I lived close enough to sample those gorgeous cupcakes in person. They all look right out of a super-upscale bakery.

Will she share her recipe for peanut butter icing? They all look delish!

Shannon said...

Oh yeah. Pass those caramel apple babies right on over. And with the sticks? Tipped the cuteness scale. Your mom is totally talented too, I'm jealous of her steady icing hand.
