Wondering what delicious treats I made with my Flower Pan? Well, here is one of many to come! I called it the Chocolate Orange Blossom Cupcake for a few obvious reasons.

I don't know about you, but I'm not always the most tidy baker. I get especially messy when it comes to pouring my batter into the cupcake pan liners. I usually start off pretty good, being extra careful as I spoon in the batter. But after filling 4 or 5 cupcake pan liners in a row, I start to get lazy and sloppy! It gets especially...

So here it is, my recipe for the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcake. I know, it's already a childhood classic, so why mess with a good thing? Well, I say why not make a good thing even better by cupcakeifying it. Yes, I just made up the word cupcakeifying, but some day it may be added to Wikipedia making it a legitimate word:) On a side note, this is...

I don't know about you, but I am an impromptu baker. And, to be completely honest, I'm never organized enough to remember to take out the butter in advance. I've tried many different ways to get my butter to room temperature including the least successful microwave method, which has resulted in my butter being more of a puddle than anything else. I am here to tell you that there is a better way and here it is...use a cheese grater!
Using a cheese grater to quickly soften your...

Have you watched a baking show wishing that you had the time (or recipe) to make some of those fancy looking cupcakes? Well, the time has come! I am making it my personal mission to dream up (and use some cupcake R&D...better known as rob and duplicate) delicious and fancy...
