I would have never thought that chocolate and pear would go together, but it looks like The Cooking Ninja has made that happen.
Check out her yummy looking recipe for Chocolate Pear Velvet Cupcakes!
Oh My Yumminess! (is that even a word?? hah, well it is now!)
I find it hard to not think about yummy cupcakes at the best of times! But how would you go with a cupcake tattooed on your wrist?
Earl Nixon is a tattoo artist in California and he has done many a cupcake tattoo, and sent us these fantastic designs from his collection. These two were my favorite and capture Earl’s style which he describes as traditional, but a with a new school twist incorporating bright colors and crazy cartoon style. But these are by no means the limit to Earl’s cupcake creativity! His portfolio includes funky cupcakes with cherries and also a spooky cupcake with bat sprinkles and a little skull on top!

I just love it when cupcakes get the attention they deserve!
I know that cupcake obsession appears to be a predominantly female hobby but let’s not forget those awesome men out there that love these sweet treats too! I know that we have a strong male following here at ATC and I want to recognize their cupcake needs too. So today I found some items on Ebay and Etsy that would make great Father’s Day gifts.

Today, I am opening the door onto the many adventures and disasters that is cupcake creation in the Apple Cupcake household! We have three kids, Alan,15 aka Cupcake Demolisher, Zoe, 11, Cupcake Designer and Megan, 6, Baby Cupcake. Together we make mess!
These images are from two recent cupcake bake outs, the first was for Mother’s Day, that is we got my mum to bake for us, so we could have all the fun decorating! The only problem was we ran out of cupcakes, so I started decorating the girls! That pic is Baby Cupcake, poor thing, I had her wedged up against the coffee machine and she just had no where to run! (evil laugh).
One of our disasters was when I had the great idea to chop up chocolate bars adding them to the wrappers (we had all the favorites, Boost, Cherry Ripe, Picnic etc). Unfortunately they glued themselves to the wrapper, and the picnic ones just tasted like burnt peanut! Personally I would have tossed the little critters, but the Cupcake Demolisher came to their rescue!
Then just the other day I gave Cupcake Designer icing pens, and along with her friend Emma, Cupcake Sidekick, they designed this batch of strange looking cupcakes!
