Cupcakes for Everyone!
Hubby and I were visiting family while on our big Midwest road trip this summer and we spent a couple days with “the kids” (aka my younger siblings). My little sister loves to bake. She’s been baking for at least two years and she’s only 12. So when we hang out, we like to bake together. I had just gotten my new cupcake cookbook – Crazy About Cupcakes – and was eager to try another recipe. The first recipe I made from the book (Spiced cupcakes) only made 12 and we wanted about 3-4 dozen cupcakes.
We decided to pick 2 different recipes and double each one, thinking we’d end up with ~4 dozen cupcakes. Well, each of the 2 recipes we chose happened to make about 20 cupcakes so we ended up with around 80! Needless to say, we had cupcakes for everyone! We chose to make peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting and cookies-n-cream cupcakes!
We cheated and used store bought chocolate whipped icing for the peanut butter cupcakes and used this recipe to make the frosting for the cookies-n-cream cupcakes. We crushed up some Oreos and mixed them in as well.

That looks delicious!! And perfect for the winter weather.

Turkey- istanbul much love to youery nice.
This looks yummy! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I made this tonight for a birthday and it was truly *amazing*! We all loved it and all the kids came back wanting seconds. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out incredibly moist and gooey, deliciously sweet, and spiced. I used half Granny Smith apples and half Gala. I also only had a 9″ pan and by the time I filled it up I still had enough batter (and some extra apple slices left) to fill another 9″ pan. I didn’t have any extra caramel topping, but decided to just bake the batter with the few left over apple slices. Next time I will double the amount of the caramel topping and cut up two more apples and make two full pans worth. It takes a little bit of time to make, but is not a difficult recipe to follow and is oh-so worth it! Thanks for sharing this!

SO glad you enjoyed it! It’s been years since I’ve made this recipe and your comment has me moving it to the top of my to-bake list!
I have been reviewin online more than 4 hours today for windows 7
starter snpc oa toshiba & Pimento Cheese Burger , yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
