Heart & Brain Cupcakes: How to Make Halloween Cupcakes

October 13, 2013 by Jenn

Learn how to make a heart cupcakes and brain cupcakes in this tutorial video. These Halloween cupcakes are filled with cherry filling, the perfect extra touch to gross out your friends. The addition of “blood” to the parts of the brain and heart are super disgusting, and it kind of creeped me out while making them! I’m not a religious watcher by any means, but I’ve seen enough episodes of The Walking Dead TV show to be reminded of it when looking at these . . . “Braaaaains! Braaaaains! Braaaaains!”

So gross and perfect for Halloween!!

No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar with Kristina Werner

September 23, 2013 by Jenn

I am not crafty. I try to be when I’m in my Kindergarten room, but I do not have the skills to work the scissors properly. Give me a mixing bowl and some ingredients and I can make whatever you want, but some paper and glue? I’m lost. All those cute Pinterest crafts that people are pinning and recreating? I don’t even bother trying to pretend that I might be able to figure out how to do it myself one day. I just move on to fabulous cake ideas!

When we were at YouTube Space LA, we ran into another YouTuber, Kristina Werner, from the YouTube channel Star of May. We decided to put our heads together and see what we could come up with in a collab together! We decided for the video on my channel, we would make a No Bake Cheesecake together, and then for her channel, she would show me how to decorate the jar for gift giving! Yay! You get to see how horrible I am at cutting!!

But first up, the cheesecake!

Despicable Me Cupcakes / Minion Cupcakes

September 14, 2013 by Jenn

These little Minion guys are super popular and seem to be around everything! I’ve seen them a couple of times in Kindergarten so far too, so I know they’re making their way through everything. I can’t claim to have watched the “new” movie, but I did watch the first one on a field trip sleepover last June. When you don’t have kids of your own, you have to rely on the moments you have with your borrowed children to watch kid movies!

We’ve been asked for Despicable Me cupcakes for a while . . . and asked . . . and asked, so I hope you all have enjoyed this tutorial, and if you haven’t seen it yet, learn how to make these cute minion cupcakes.

Blue Velvet Smurf Cupcakes

July 27, 2013 by Jenn

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 Jenn

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!

How to Make Maple Bacon Cupcakes for Canada Day

June 25, 2013 by Jenn

Maple cupcakes with maple buttercream, topped with bacon … what could be more Canadian? These maple bacon cupcakes are perfect for any Canada day party you may be going to. Here in Canada we celebrate our country’s independence from Britain on July 1. Maple syrup is an iconic symbol of Canada and can be found at EVERY tourist trap there is! As is the beaver! Check out my post on that, here. You must try the real stuff maple syrup, not the brand from the famous Aunt wearing a handkerchief. The real deal is shockingly expensive, but definitely worth it for flavour and taste.
