Blue Velvet Smurf Cupcakes
July 27, 2013 by
To go along with my previous post Smurf Cake Pops and my obsession with the new Smurfs 2 movie that is coming out this summer, I had to make these Smurf Cupcakes when I saw them on Pinterest!! I love that all of my favourite toys of the 80’s are in circulation today. Whenever my Kindergarten students show up with My Little Ponies, I get to have a happy flashback to my childhood filled with them! Oooh, or Strawberry Shortcake…or Rainbow Brite, or…..Cabbage Patch Kids. You get the idea.
We have been getting requests for Blue Velvet cake for a while on our YouTube channel, so I figured these cupcakes would be perfect with blue velvet bases, topped with the blue and white buttercreams! **Spoiler Alert** Blue Velvet is the same as Red Velvet, but with BLUE gel paste!! Shocking, I know.
Rainbow Cupcakes in a Jar: How to Make
July 24, 2013 by
In this video, I show you how to make your own rainbow cupcakes in a jar! I love the idea of these, and anything rainbow for that matter. They are super fun to make, if you like dirty dishes–you end up with a ton whenever you bake “rainbow”. You’ll need to find yourself some canning jars for this project. I got mine at Target, and I’ve seen them available at many other box stores . . . and even in grocery stores, especially during canning season.
I’ve gotten many questions from viewers regarding “How do I eat it?” I thought that was self explanatory, but apparently not! Well, you take a spoon and dig right in! The cake to icing ratio is high on the cake side, but you’re bound to be able to look passed that with how cute these are!

Learn how to make Smurf cake pops in this video of mine! Of course, being a child of the 80’s The Smurfs were a cartoon classic. Now, that they are back in movie format, I thought it would be a good time to share some Smurf themed treats . . . I’ll have a second Smurf cupcake video coming up soon as well.

A cronut is a deep fried croissant, shape and topped like a donut, that is becoming very popular. In this video we show you an easy cronut recipe you can make in your own home. Yes, I totally cheat by using pre-made Pillsbury dough, but come on!!! All that waiting for dough to rise over and over . . . I’ll add it to my Baking Bucket List.
How to Make Rainbow Chocolate Truffles
July 10, 2013 by
In this video we show you how to make white chocolate rainbow truffles. This is the same method you would use to make rainbow cake pops, just without the cake pop stick. I made these truffles as I though it would be a nice change from the cake pops.
I brought the extras to school for my students to enjoy. Their reactions basically were “Yummy”, “Pretty”. . . fairly run of the mill. I brought the rest into the staffroom figuring they would be a nice treat for a couple of adults, but little did I know I was about to get the reaction of the century from one of them! My lovely friend Kelley took one on her way out the door, and left. Somewhere between the staffroom and the exit door she took a bite . . . and we hear “OOOOOHH!!! It’s RAINBOW!!” and she comes running back in the room, “You guys, it’s RAINBOW!!”
Milk Substitute: Baking Quick Tip
July 7, 2013 by
Need some options for dairy free baking? Some great milk substitutes are rice milk, almond milk and soy milk. And the list can go on, and on, and on. That is the great thing about heading to the grocery store these days, there are tons of options for milk substitutes! All of my recipes that I have up on the blog and on YouTube can be substituted in this way. One cup of milk is equal to one cup of milk substitute.
