Sweet of the Week!

I hope you were all able to try the Magnolia vanilla cupcake recipe, and if not by baking it, by picking one up and enjoying at the bakery.  This week I want to suggest the chocolate cupcake recipe from Magnolia.  This one is my favorite!  I also found out that one of my classmates, Trina, wrote about her love for Magnolia on her blog, and this is her fav as well!   I'll have to make them soon and bring them in to class for a treat! 

This recipe is very similar to the vanilla ones, but be careful with chocolate, when overcooked it burns easily.  Make sure you pay attention to the time and temperature of your oven.  Also it is up to you whether you want to use vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting.  My fav is chocolate with vanilla frosting, and cream cheese frosting is also super delish!  You may just have to make them a couple times and figure out which you enjoy the most! 

Sweet of the Week!

Magnolia's Vanilla Vanilla cupcakes.

If you haven't tried a magnolia cupcake yet, you really need to get on that.  They offer a variety of cupcakes such as red velvet, chocolate, lady baltimore, and their most popular is vanilla vanilla. It is much easier to just grab one in the city at one of their many locations, however, thats not as fun.  Making these cupcakes is a piece of cake ;) if you have all the right ingredients.   

You can find the recipe here and make these cupcakes as a treat!  Beware though, once you have one, its often hard to hold back from some more.  The recipe makes around 2 dozen, so wrap some up and bring to friends.  

Sweet of the week!

I figured since I love cupcakes and treats I'd pick one of my favorites and post it each week. Hope you enjoy! 

These are the cutest and just in time for valentines day!  I am so excited to make these and see how they turn out! These are a little complicated and take time.

happy baking!
