That link will take you to a magical place. 

Between Blue Moon or Corona cupcakes - I knew I had to try the Blue Moon ones.

I have cooked with beer before and as most of you know, the flavor normally cooks out.

After baking these cupcakes, a fancy trick is involved!

Warm (and fresh) from the oven, you poke tiny holes with a toothpick. THEN you brush the cupcakes with leftover beer and VOILA! you have delicious beer cupcakes!

Even though I'm not a fan of Corona, I might have to try them since these were so good!

Nutella yummyness!

I made these last week and BOY were they delicious!

Introducing my .. Nutella cupcakes!

Ok, "my" isn't the correct word.
My batch of someone else's cupcakes. Haha.

I'll provide the link for anyone interested.

But please note, these are super yummy and you will want to eat more than one. 

Just sayin'. :)

Go make some! NOW!

Orange Cuppycakes!

I'm saddened to admit that the batter is not homemade. :( 

I know. I know. I heard you gasp too. 

BUT I was rushed to get them done for Dylan's class party.

Dylan turned 5 yesterday, November 4th.

He was able to bring in cupcakes to class, but since we were in Legoland the day before, I waited till the morning of to actually bake.

But they were a hit!

I used a box of White cake mix.

I did dye the batter orange, obviously.

I baked as directed and let them cool.

(I made the frosting myself - which I'll post a recipe for next.)

I then frosted them and rolled them around in orange sprinkles.

And there you go!

Keep an eye out for the frosting recipe - it's a must try!
