Cupcake Challenge: Week 27 to Week 37!

Hello Everyone! So way back in June or July, I took a break from my challenge due to customer’s request.  I have been back on my challenge for a while, but have been super busy that I haven’t been blogging. To make up the difference, below is the rest of the cupcakes I made in 2012 and the links to the original recipes.  Moving forward any cupcakes that I have made in 2013, I will write posts for.  I have been making two cupcakes a week to speed up the challenge, and finish it (hopefully before I leave for Australia in March)!

Week 27: Corona Cupcakes- http://www.ericasweettooth.com/2012/01/blue-moon-and-corona-cupcakes.html

Notes:  I used Corona in honor of my roomate’s birthday and its her favorite beer.  You can’t really taste the corona, but they do taste good.

Week 28: Smores-

Notes: I used a picture as my inspiration and used a previous chocolate cake mix and frosting. 

Week 29: Apple Cider Cupcakes- http://blog.lehighvalleylive.com/local-food-recipes/2011/05/apple_cider_cupcakeswapple_but.html

Week 30: Meat Loaf Cupcakes- http://firstlookthencook.com/2011/11/02/meatloaf-cupcakes/

Notes: I used my own personal family meatloaf recipe and added bacon, as its part of my recipe.  The idea came from a co-workers birthday request, and they turned out amazing!!

Week 31: Pumpkin Cupcake with Maple Forsting- http://www.housebeautiful.com/kitchens/recipes/ina-garten-pumpkin-cupcake-recipe

Week 32: Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes- http://bakingbites.com/2009/10/impossible-pumpkin-pie-cupcakes/#more-3834

Notes: This recipe did not turn out anything like the picture.  I will not make this one again!

Week 33: Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting -http://www.phemomenon.com/chocolate-pumpkin-cake/

Notes: This was an intense recipe.  It takes time and I didn’t not make everything from the original blog post.  I recommend really reading recipe through a few times, and planning correctly!

Week 34: Dark Chocolate Raspberry Curd- http://javacupcake.com/2012/07/dark-chocolate-raspberry-curd-filled-cupcakes/

Week 35: Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes- http://www.pink-parsley.com/2009/09/cinnamon-roll-cupcakes.html

Week 36:  Peppermint Hot Chocolate- http://thecupcakeblog.com/christmas-hot-chocolate-cupcake/

Note: Candy Canes melt in the fridge!

Week 37: Salted Carmel Pretzel Cupcake- http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2011/06/fathers-day-limited-edition-chocolate.html (epic fall on my part, never took picture of finished product!)

So in 2012, I was able to complete 37 weeks, only 15 more to go… Almost done!!!!  :)

Love always, aloterella :)
