I found this wonderful recipe for French Toast Cupcakes a few weeks ago and just last night I got the time to make them. This is a great twist on two fabulous foods, french toast & cupcakes!
Shopping List
Loaf of Raisin Bread
Eggs
Real Maple Syrup
Cinamon
Milk
Foil Cupcake Liners
Vanilla
Line cupcake tins with 4 cupcake liners. Spoon a teaspoon of maple syrup into each liner. In a larger bowl break up 4 pieces of bread into pieces. In another bowl mix together 4 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and a 1/2 a cup of milk. Once that is mixed ll together pour over the bread. Give a quick gentle stir to coat all of the bread. Let sit for about 5 minutes so the bread can soak up the egg mixture. Scoop the mixture into the cupcake liner evenly. Bake for 3o minutes in a 400 degree over. After they come out of the oven let cool for 5 minutes then dive in & enjoy!
A good twist on this would be to whip of a batch of cream cheese frosting and once they have cooled spread a thin layer on the cupcake and sprinkle with cinnamon. I think I want to make some more now! Yummy!
In October StayHomeCupcake had shared the cupcake car by Neiman Marcus that costs $25,000. In December David Letterman test drove one of the cupcake cars on The Late Show. In the video he gets off to such a fast start that he crashes and the hat flies off!

Pottery Barn Kids has a realistic looking toy version of everyone’s favorite food. They have a cake and cupcake set made out of fabric, making it safe for little kids. The set includes 4 differently designed cupcakes for $24.00 and the cake which is purchased separately for $34.00.
As I was traveling home from the Holidays I had to make the obligatory fast food stop (there is no fast food on Martha’s Vineyard), so my friend Heidi and I stopped at Burger King! As I was reading the Menu trying to decide what to get I saw that they had a Cupcake Shake … I didn’t indulge in it for the simple fact that it probably cost more than my whole meal and that I had just ingested enough calories for a month over the holidays. But I did find a few people on the web that did.
