Custard Cream Cupcakes

This is a special cupcake request from a special fan of MaBelle.  She loves the custard cream filling of the our mocha chiffon cake so much that she requested a cake and/or cupcake with the custard cream as the "star".

So our vanilla cupcake is made special filled with custard cream, and frosted with buttercream that is made with custard too!

It was a big hit and our special fan was most happy!

Ultimate Ube Cupcakes

Ube is my favorite flavor!  Especially when it's an ube chiffon cake.  It took me a while to make an ube cupcake because I'd been used to the light and airy ube cake that the heavier-type cupcake was strange to me.  Until my repeated experimentation finally resulted in one that I was ok with... and while my "traditional" frosting for ube is a whipped cream (sometimes with macapuno), for this one I wanted a super-duper ube umph.  So this ube cupcake is frosted with ube halaya buttercream!  And I have decided to call them "Ultimate Ube" because the double ube - cake AND frosting!

Up close and personal...

(see the ube bits?)

Even more personal...

This really is my all time favorite!!!

Billie

Imagine a chocolate cupcake spiked with Kahlua, with Kahlua Cheese Filling and topped with Bailey's Truffle Frosting...

It's dreamy...

Oreo Oreo Cupcake

Oreos are great favorites.  What better way to celebrate their popularity?

An interesting combination that screams the tropics!!!  Banana, pineapple and coconut...  topped with salted caramel buttercream... HOMEMADE!

Absolutely delicious!

Suzie

Suzie is the name we gave to this cupcake:

Our signature chocolate cupcake, double frosted with swirls of dark chocolate buttercream and whipped peanut butter frosting.

A tribute to the chocolate striped peanut butter of my childhood.

Black Chocolate Cupcakes with (the BEST) Strawberry Buttercream

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful fairy princess (read as:  beloved daughter) who asked her equally beautiful mommy (read as: all powerful queen... of the household) for a pink flower cake (chocolate, of course!) and Tinkerbell.

Now, the mommy had a bit of a problem with this request because she didn't want to put artificial coloring in the cake so how could it be pink?

Then one day, while the fairy princess and her mommy were taking a stroll around the marketplace, they chanced upon... strawberries... red, plump, fragrant strawberries!  Did I mention that the strawberries were bright RED?

DING! went a bell in mommy's head!  A strawberry infused icing would be, at the very least, pale pink... PINK!!!

And so, they went to work to make the sought-after pink flower cake.  Of course, the fairy princess had to have cupcakes to give to her friends, so the (beautiful and all powerful) queen made some cupcakes too...

And, the cupcakes had to follow the same theme of chocolate and pink flowers...

See the lovely pink flower on top of the cupcake?  See the lovely dots of strawberry bits?

See the rest of the cupcakes all lined up in their pink glory?

The fairy princess was very happy.  And proud!

What about her mommy, the queen?  Well, her heart soared as she heard the fairy princess whisper:  "Thank you Mommy!"

The End.
