Big Girls, Small Kitchen | Guide To Making HOT Cup-Cakes [Short & Simple]

Chocolate Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream and White Pearl Sprinkles; White Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting and Turquoise Sugar; Yellow Raspberry Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Because Phoebe and I live in fear of the disastrous effects of having too few cupcakes (there were tears, believe me, at Phoebe's 23rd birthday when I brought 2 dozen carrot cake cream cheese cupcakes and the birthday girl somehow missed out), I was intent on baking copious sweets for Jor's. The cupcake recipes from Rose's Heavenly Cakes make 16 per batch, and because they call for things like 1/2 tablespoon sour cream, I didn't dare mess with the ingredient quantities. Instead of doubling, I simply made a third flavor of cupcake. But I wanted all three to be sufficiently different from one another. I spent at least a week's worth of breakfasts flipping through the "Small Cakes" chapter, and here are the mixes-and-matches I came up with:

*Chocolate Butter Cupcakes with Coffee Neoclassic Buttercream and White Pearl Sprinkles

*White Velvet Butter Cupcakes with Dreamy Creamy White Chocolate Frosting and Turquoise Sugar

*Yellow Butter Raspberry Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream (the surprise champion of the evening)

Because you can find these recipes in Rose's book, I'll refrain from posting the first two here. Just take my word for it that these are very, very good cupcakes. However, I think my modifications of the yellow butter cake batter into a veritable PB&J Cupcake merit a post. Though I'd intended the cupcakes to be a step up from the childhood sandwich, trust Evan to revert to the elementary school years: apparently, he's pioneered an icing-spreading method of eating cupcakes whereby he pulls apart the cupcake along its horizontal axis, affixes the bottom to the icing-covered top, and bites--first into a thinned layer of cake, next into icing, then into cake again. Next time, we'll get a picture.
