official easter cupcakes

better late than never! here are the easter cupcakes i made last weekend for our easter sunday dinner. i decided on two flavors, coconut and lemon and made regular size as well as mini cupcakes. they were good, even though i messed up the coconut ones and forgot to add the third egg ;) i had more fun with my grass piping tip and i attempted to 'stripe' the piping bag for the lemon cupcakes and it turned out alright. i am on the waiting list for the next decorating class so fingers crossed and we may have some cupcake bouquets in the future! xo

birthday meringue cakes

happy birthday mom!

these are the lemon meringue pie cupcakes i made today! recipe can be found on the recipe page. they are tasty little cakes, but could use some improvements. there wasn't quite enough filling in them, and the cake was a little dry, but other than that they were good. i ended up browning the meringue in my oven, and that worked much better than i had expected. i really wanted to use my new kitchen torch, but the fuel we bought wouldn't fill our torch due to some 'safety' design flaws. i really like how different the meringue looks on top of the cupcakes compared to just piped frosting. i may try this again with a few tweaks.

an oldie but a goodie...

i made these pink lemonade cupcakes with lemon meringue frosting back in university and found the old pictures today. they are not a flavour currently being considered for the wedding party, but might be if people want to try them :)
