Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
The Story: What’s the “story” behind this cupcake? You tell me, because I don’t know. All I want to do right now is rant about life! I want to tell all my frustrations to the wide open internet and see what I get back. I want to say what I really feel and let it…
Chocolate Mascarpone Cupcakes
The Story: I was supposed to do an internship this last summer. Instead…I wrote a cookbook. A pretty decent trade, right? Well two nights ago, my publishers sent me the greatest email ever! It had a PDF of my cookbook and let me just tell you, it is beautiful. I am not biased at all…
Mint Chip Cupcakes
The Story: I am a Northwest girl. So what does that mean? It means I love waking up to the sound of rain, wearing cozy sweaters, rooting for the Oregon Ducks and I love Tillamook everything.

Lemon Neapolitan Cupcakes
