red velvet by you.

I made a batch of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Yeah, I know cream cheese is not the traditional frosting for red velvet, but I just had to break the rules.

My cupcake army…

I also made  heart shaped sugar cookies….most were iced, but left some to be topped with the cream cheese frosting.

Some homemade pizza followed…and I was exhausted.  I think it will be quiet in the kitchen next weekend…but I make no guarantees.

Yeah, that’s right.   Guinness cupcakes with a simple buttercream frosting.  I love making beer bread, so why not add a bottle to some cupcakes?  I think I am defintely going to experiment with other beers, flavors, etc… maybe do something beer-y with the frosting…

oh, cupcake, you are my friend…

homemade PB cups by you.

Here’s some homemade PB cups I made last night.  They were a bit of work (with the tempering and all), but I think they turned out.

So get over here and help me eat them.

OOooooooOOOOoooooOooooOOOOO! (that’s my scary ghost sound)

Anyways, this past weekend I made the cuuuuutest pies in the world.  Mini apple pies!  They’re baked in small half pint mason jars and make a decent sized single serving.

They just need a pat of butter on top and their lids…

Here they are right before I popped a couple in the oven…the rest went in the freezer.  I only have a couple left since I gave some away, so I should have made more :(   But they were so good!
