This guy doesn't even deserve to have a cupcake named after him today.  I don't think I can handle another 6 weeks of winter!

At least he tastes delicious...

Red Roses

These Red Velvet Cupcakes with fondant rose buds make me so happy!

Snowmen

Today we were trapped inside for the majority of the day because this guy was busy enjoying our tree Then he decided to take a nap next to the porch for a few hours.

Lil' Bit was so sad that she couldn't go outside to make a snowman for the moose so we decided to make our own snowmen inside.

These melting snowman cupcakes are spiced chocolate cake with a marshmallowy vanilla frosting.

Blueberry Lemon

Lemon Cake with Blueberry Buttercream - a classic Alaskan flavor.

Because I want to be in Hawaii so badly it hurts...

Hummingbird Cupcakes with Roasted Pineapple Flowers (Banana, pineapple, coconut)

The cubs have been singing Strawberry Shortcake on repeat for a week.  "Fruit filled fun is the secret to her recipe" has been banging around in my head.  So here are my most favorite fruits in cupcake form!

Candy Bar Cupcakes

Not sure what to do with all the left over Halloween candy?  I find it's much easier to pawn the candy off on someone else when it has been transformed into a cupcake.  Happy baking!

 Jr. Mint Cupcakes: Dark Chocolate Devil's Food Cupcakes with peppermint ganache, vanilla buttercream and a Jr. Mint up top.

 Butterfinger Cupcakes with a frosting made out of ground up butterfinger guts.  Delicious!

 SNICKER'S cupcakes:  Devil's food, Snicker's inside, carmel butter cream on top, a drizzle of caramel and sprinkle of peanuts and Snicker's bar pieces.  What's not to love?

Heath Bars are my weakness!   Chocolate Sour Cream cake, ganache, toffee buttercream, more ganache, heath bar chunks and pieces.  I die.

Payday Cupcakes: Sour Cream Yellow Cake, caramel filling, salted caramel buttercream on top, rolled in peanuts and drizzled with caramel.  Sweet and salty!

Almond Joy Cupcakes: Devil's Food topped with a mound of Almond Joy-like topping then dunked into chocolate candy coating and topped with a little sliced almond.  This has to be a favorite.
