Cupcake Haven

My daughter's room is done in a cupcake theme.  I have loved the look of cupcakes and the idea of them for as long as I can remember.  But I didn't enjoy baking or frosting them.  This made me feel a bit hypocritical!  After using the boxed mixes (and loving the texture, by the way), I realized I had to find a homemade version that worked for me and here it is: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vanilla-cupcakes-recipe2/index.html.  These are delicate, perfectly sweet, and they require only 1 stick of butter for the batter.  This is unheard of in the cupcake world!  You will not be disappointed with these gems.    

After finding this diamond in the ruff recipe, I was inspired to make a different cupcake every three months for the first year of my daughter's life.  Here are some of my creations:

cookies and cream cupcake
chocolate covered cherry cupcake

raspberry swirl cheesecake cupcake

peanut butter filled brownie cupcake
