How a Chocolate PB Cupcake is made!

This seems to already be a favorite of my customers! So, I figured, I would show you how they are made.


Mixing the chocolate for the batch!

About 12 minutes and they come out perfect!

I sift the sugar needed for the frosting

Mmmmm, Chocolate Frosting!

Time to fill the pastry bag and frost. I use a large star tip for these.



Time to fill!
This is how I fill them
Peanut Butter FILLED :)

When I am done I box them and they are ready to go.



So this cupcake takes about 3 hours total. Not only am I doing the mix, I am also doing the  filling,  two frostings, and decorating .  Time consuming?...A little. Well worth it?...YOU BET!  They are chocolaty, peanut buttery and you will need a glass of milk with these!

Anyone Can Bake a Cupcake!

Yes. Baking cupcakes can be easy. IF you do it from a box and top it off with canned icing. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, that's how I started my whole cupcake venture.
 What that did for me was taught me how to follow direction, and use proper measurements. To nail down accurate baking & cooling times and so much more.  What that also did was inspire me to think out side of the "box". Yes, pun intended (hahaha). If I just added this, or altered that, what would it taste like? And so begun my journey of experimenting with my own mixes, frostings and fillings.

That is what sets me apart from all the rest! I know once you try one of my homemade goodies, you'll agree! I pride myself in only making the best for you!

Join me tomorrow; I will take you on the journey of one of my creations! :)

And, let me leave you with a little something to make your tastebuds tingle for some sweetness....

My Sincere Thanks....

Let me start of this first entry by thanking all of my family and friends for their continued support. If it were not for them, I may not be doing this now. A special thanks to my  husband, who shares his time with me...with my other "love"....cupcakes. I would also like to thank Angelia for designing my website (which will be up and running within the week) and my business cards! Not only has she been a taste tester, she's given me great advice and a beautiful looking website! I cannot forget my mom and my sister who have been my number one fans from day one!

Everyone thinks working at home; you see your family more. ( I am also working full time at The Post Star in media services) Truth is, instead of hanging out or watching TV. I am in the kitchen while Greg (my husband)  is tending to the children .  My kids however, do make an appearance from time to time because they know...they will each get one to try! They love when mommy bakes :)



The purpose of me having a blog is to post my ideas, tips and yeah...maybe even some frustrations, lol. Also I will be running monthly specials in the near feature which you can only find on my blog. I will be picking a cupcake of the month and selling it at a discounted price. 


Remember, any and all feedback is welcome. Please feel free to share any ideas, stories or even your frustrations on baking with me!


Thank you all for joining me on this cupcake journey!!!
