I have also have a couple homemade frosting recipes that are a big hit. Look for a butter cream recipe and 7 minute frosting(it's a cooked frosting). I top cupcakes with the 7 minute frosting then drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate in a swirl on top. It's amazing what homemade frosting can do for an ordinary cupcake.
I make some chocolate cupcakes that seem to go over well. Just make a normal chocolate cake mix and pour into lined cupcake tins. Then drop about 1-2 tsp of chocolate fudge (the thick sundae topping stuff) in the middle of the cupcake and cover with crusked oreos. Bake at the temp on the box for 20-23 minutes. Best if served when still warm.
I like making cupcakes. My middle son loves when I make cupcakes and make the frosting from scratch and pipe it out with a big tip to make pretty and put some type of seasonal candy on top.
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
I don't have the recipe right at hand, but it uses jello and you replace some of the water with a tub of Cool Whip. I put it in clear cups because it separates as it sets. It looks really cool and tastes delicious. Very simple too. You can use red jello(the cool whip will turn pink) and dress up the top with some jelly hearts and spoons that are decorated with little paper hearts on the top of the handle that say "You're so sweet!" inserted into each cup.
You can probably find the recipe on the jello website. If not, respond back and I'll dig deeper in my recipe folder.
Does anyone at all have a "wow, she made that?!?!?!?" recipe for the kindergarten classroom for valentines day? I have a few small ideas but something new would be great and I am tired of all my recipes.
