Bake-n-Blog


Staci at Staci Edwards Design had a great idea when she came across the yummy website Ming Makes Cupcakes.

"I say we each sign up for a cupcake to bake from Ming Makes Cupcakes and blog about our baking experience, and better yet how delicious they are, on August 19th".

I signed up to make Red Velvet Cupcakes and the pictures above show how it went. Pretty well! I admit I didn't make the same icing as the recipe because I didn't have Maple flavouring but it is still white and the cupcakes tasted super yummy! The recipe only makes about 12 which is nice. It's a manageable amount to eat without feeling too guilty, haha! I had a little bit of fun and added a mini peanut butter cup that I added icing and a mini m&m to as well as cherry blasters. I got the idea for the mini cupcakes from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. So cute!

You can go to Staci's blog to see who else signed up for the Bake-n-Blog and see how their cupcake adventures turned out!

love it! Looks like you had tons of fun and like how you made your own version of the frosting. Nothing like making it an original :)
