Happy Birthday!!
We were going for a pub crawl to celebrate Hubby’s college roommate’s birthday. I offered to bring cupcakes. He loves coffee flavored things, so I had quite a few options when I flipped through Crazy about Cupcakes. I decided on the Carmel Mocha cupcakes.
As usual, when I start baking, I get really excited and tend to bake way too much. Since I wanted to make the Carmel Mocha cupcakes “full-dairy” for the birthday boy, I wanted to make some cupcakes that I would be able to eat. I decided to use some strawberry preserves that we had paired with French Vanilla cupcakes. When I make two batches, I tend to make one from scratch and one from a box mix.
Everyone said the Carmel Mocha cupcakes were great, and I loved the strawberry filled cupcakes. Overall it was a baking success!
how did you manage to get yours looking lyke the crumbly toppings of a muffin? my are so darn smooth!!! gosh.. yours look reallie enticing. great job!
Cakey is just the word I was looking for! We gobbled these all up in flash!
I’m not sure how I did it. I just followed the directions… I used frozen blueberries and my batter definitely looked like ice cream out of the fridge. I love cakey cookies so these really hit the spot for me!
Those do look like muffin tops (the yummy part). I enjoyed the cakey cookies too!
I this her’s probably looked more bumpy is because she didn’t chop her rhubarb as finely, so it didn’t break down as much. You can end up with Rhubarb sauce fairly easily.
