Owls seem to be all the rage lately! Why wouldn’t they be with all the cute owl things I see around – checks, wallets, earrings, etc. You want it (with owls), you got it!
If you want Owl Cupcakes, we got those too. These are so stinking adorable!

I think we can all agree that there is no better way to spend New Years Day than eating and baking cupcakes! If you agree with me, than I have found a great recipe for you to try from the blog La Mia Vita Dolce.
These look so fabulous and they are visualually stunning!
Thinking of what to put together for your New Year’s Eve party?
Why not cook up your brew instead of drinking it? Here’s a recipe for Guinness and Bailey Irish Cupcakes that strikes me as rather top-o-the-morning.
Take it one step further, and here’s a recipe for Chocolate Guinness and Whiskey Cupcakes with Bailey’s Frosting. I’d put this into the later-in-the-day category.
And this recipe variation includes a bittersweet ganache with whiskey option within the Guinness Cupcake.
Cheers!
Here in North Carolina the past few nights have been very chilly, which means it’s in the 20’s at night. Below 30 degrees is cold to those of us in the tar heel state! After taking the dog for his evening walk my family and I come inside and are searching for something warm. Tea and hot chocolate tend to hit the spot but I’m thinking these Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcake recipe would be a perfect post dog walk treat, for us humans of course! The vegan cupcake recipe which is topped a coconut whipped cream frosting was originally posted to Food 52.
Merry Christmas Everyone! I woke up this morning to see it spitting snow outside and all I could say was, “Yay!”. I am not a huge fan of snow, but, I always like to have some on Christmas, it really make it feels like Christmas when it snows and there is snow on the ground.
In honor of the spitting snow in New Hampshire, where I grew up and am spending Christmas with my parents, brother and lovely dog, I have found these amazing snowflake cupcakes. The fact that they are pink makes it a million times better.

Good Morning ATC Community! and welcome to the official start of crunch time. These are the days that we second-guess whether we did enough of everything and end up doing too much!
If you’re like me, you’ve baked a fair amount of holiday treasures.
But holiday week is a bit like a marathon and, in the home stretch, who isn’t looking for fresh ideas to keep inspired? The challenge I set to myself is whether I can come up with a week of images, recipes, and instructions to keep us all – myself included – at 350F from now through next Saturday.
These Baked Ideas images are cookies, but so fresh and original they will inspire your cupcake decorating ideas. Here’s a smorgasbord of cookie decorating ideas from “Baked Ideas” by Patti Paige, along with the Baked Ideas’ Facebook page and the video on the Baked Ideas mini gingerbread houses. 3,000 each season!
If you’re still looking for last minute gifts, Baked Ideas even sells yoga cookie cutters. How did she do that? Here’s her video on piping royal icing onto each one of the yoga posed gingerbread men and here’s the Baked Ideas gingerbread recipe.
Ah-ha! My Muse gripped that one!
Today, I’m going to springboard those Baked Ideas into spice cupcakes with yoga shapes drawn on the top, including some Sandskrit symbols, such as “Namaste.” And I know just who is on my list for these yoga cupcakes…
Now that’s what I mean about taking inspiration and giving yourself permission to be creative at the holidays! What’s your idea?
Countdown: 6 days.
Christmas stollen is such a favorite food at the holidays, who can resist the notion of converting it into a cupcake? 
Here’s one recipe for Christmas stollen cupakes from The Cupcake Project.
Raisins, dried cranberries, dried currents, dried cherries…we’ll let that negate the bit of pleasure we’ll take from a bit of cherry liqueur and brandy. And, of course, we’ll only pour those into the recipe, won’t we?
Just in case you have some cherry liqueur left over, here’s a companion recipe for Black Forest Cupcakes. Well, if I’m on that theme, let’s be sure to have on hand a recipe for White Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes.
Now there’s a cupcake trio that deserves a Ho-Ho-Ho!
