I have a little collection of salt and pepper shakers but one that I have yet to find in my travels is a cupcake salt and pepper shaker. Just to make sure they do exist I searched for one online. Here are some of the cute ones I came across, I think the Pillsbury Dough Boy is my favorite.
My mom recently got me some new products that are supposed to make decorating cupcakes easier. I have not had the time to bake cupcakes yet but I thought I would share the products. If you have either of these, let us know how they work for you.
From The Pampered Chef I was given the Decorator Bottle Set. The set includes three easy-squeeze bottles, each with a different tip and a cleaning brush for $12.00.
The second, by Kuhn Rikon, is a Cookie and Cupcake Deco Kit. This kit contains 2 tall bottles, 3 short bottles, 5 tips and an offset spatula for $24.00.
I know I have said it before but I will say it again: I love our Facebook fans! Every week they amaze me with their cupcake creation photos and make me laugh with their responses to my Cupcake Question of the Day (watch for it every Saturday!). I am so excited that we will soon hit 3,000 fans! Check out a few of this month’s Easter cupcake photo submissions.
Ever wondered how to combine cupcakes and rice krispie treats? Well if you haven’t figured it out yet, no need to think anymore we have found the way to the elusive Rice Krispie Treat Cupcake!
This a great twist to the Rice Krispie Treat. Great recipe to try with the little ones.
And the winner is… Lauren O.!

My friend shared with me the link to Ming Makes Cupcakes. There are 31 different cupcake recipes that range from classics like Red Velvet with Buttercream Frosting and Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting to more unique flavors like Flourless Beet Cupcakes with Whipped Cream or Port Wine and Cherry Chocolate Cupcakes with Marscapone Frosting. There are also two savory cupcake recipes that I am interested in trying, Cornbread Cupcakes with Goat Cheese Frosting and Bacon and Cheddar Scallion cupcakes with Whipped Cream Cheese. Below is the recipe that is on the top of my list to try:
