Today I am showing you how to make Homemade Hostess Cupcakes. These are a take on the popular store bought brand. I’ve used a deliciously rich chocolate cake, filled it with marshmallow buttercream and dipped the cupcake in chocolate ganache.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cupcakes: A Collab with Charli’s Crafty Kitchen!

August 8, 2015 by Jenn
 These two girls are THE cutest duo on YouTube.  Seriously,  I was awash in cuteness when we were filming.  Of course, I have to mention their accents as well, as that makes them even cuter (they’re Australian if you didn’t pick that up).  It was such a pleasure to get to work with Charli and Ashlee while we were in LA, so make sure you follow the links in this post to subscribe to their channel, and watch the video (Mickey and Minnie Marshmallow Pops) we did on their channel at the bottom of this post.

Snow Cone Cupcakes

May 31, 2015 by Jenn
One of my most favourite memories of hot summer days visiting family in Vancouver, was getting a snow cone from the fair.  They always looked so beautiful and shiny- and were incredibly disappointing once you’d sucked all the syrup off!  These cupcakes are anything but disappointing as the best part (the cupcake) is saved for last at the bottom.   In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make homemade snow cone syrup and how to make your regular cupcakes look like a real snow cone!
