#46 Barn Cake

I just saw this video on Betty Crocker. It is the most adorable cake I have seen in a while. It's a barn cake with farm animal cupcakes. Here the link to the video and also the link to the recipe. Enjoy!

#45 Banana Cupcake

I think my love for bananas is what drives me to find banana flavored cupcake recipes. I found this cupcake recipe from Martha Stewart. It's a banana cupcake with honey-cinnamon frosting. Sounds absolutely delicious!

#44 Review

Ever seen those mini cupcakes inside your local grocery store? They're small, colorful and simply adorable. This weekend I decided to purchase a pack for the family and thought I'd give them a try. I will be posting photos later since my computer is acting up and I am blogging from my phone. For starters, these cupcakes are very tiny. They can be devoured in a bite or two. Being a frosting lover, I licked the frosting first and found it was very tasty. Nothing entirely special, but it was a nice flavor. I took a bite out of the cupcake and was hit with a mouthful of sugar. It was overly sweet. One bite and I immediately tasted the strong vanilla flavor of the cake. As far as the overall taste goes, the cake was good but it obviously had a ton of unnecessary sugar. Texture? The cupcake honestly was not as moist or fluffy as a homemade cupcake but it still was good. It had a softness to it that actually made up for all the sugar. Overall, for a store bought, ready to go cupcake, it was good. If I had to be somewhere quick and didn't have time to bake, I would buy these again. Otherwise, I could do without all the sugar.

#43 Sweet Tea Cupcakes

What could be a more perfect cupcake for summer than a sweet tea cupcake? The recipe sounds so easy to make and it goes perfectly with the warm weather! I found this gem on Food Network and thought it was great. This cupcake was actually featured on the hit show Cupcake Wars. With a yummy lemon sweet tea frosting, this definitely seems like a winner :)

#42 Brownie Cupcake

These brownie cupcakes sound AMAZING! I found this recipe on http://www.jif.com/. I've never really checked out this website before but I'm glad I did. There are a ton of great recipes from breakfast to dessert. This recipe definitely caught my eye. Hazelnut buttercream? That alone just makes my mouth water! Delicious!

#41 Frozen Cupcake

So it has now been about a month and half since I froze my carrot cake cupcakes. I decided to take out another one and test how well its held up.

Upon first inspection, the cupcake looked fine. It still had its color and appeared to be moist.

I touched the top and found that it felt rather sticky. It was a weird texture and I was kind of skeptical.

I frosted the cupcake with Betty Crocker's Cream Cheese Frosting and it did not go on so smoothly. It could have been the frosting but I think it was because the top was so sticky. It was effect as trying to frost a cupcake that hasn't yet been cooled.

Despite all this, I decided to give the cupcake a try. I was very surprised to find that it was not that bad. In fact, it was actually pretty good. Definitely not as tasty as a freshly made cupcake,  but it still had a great flavor. The inside did not taste sticky like the top felt and it was still moist.

Overall, it'd give it a B. Not a high B, more like a B-. I can't wait to see the effects of a frozen cupcake after 2 months.

#40 Coconut Cupcakes

I'm not too big on coconut, but my mom is and she would love these cupcakes. I got this coconut cupcake recipe from Martha Stewart. For all you coconut lovers out there, here's a real treat :)
