Right off the bat I decided to go with a frosting instead of the glaze. I'm just a frosting type of girl ;) Now this frosting wasn't good... It was delicious! I've never made brown butter before but after I mixed all the ingredients together, I would have to say that the frosting had almost a maple syrup taste.<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>Now to the cupcake. It has the perfect amount of spice and surprisingly with the batter being on the thick side the cake was not dense but actually light and fluffy. This is the perfect pick to start off the fall baking season!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 1/2 sticks of butter room temp</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 2/3 cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2 teaspoons baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The How To</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Preheat oven to 325. In a sauce pan melt the butter over medium-low heat and swirl the pan occasionally until the butter turns a golden brown. Remove from the heat and skim the foam off the top. Pour browned butter into a bowl to stop the cooking, leaving any burned sediment behind; let cool.</span><br />

When it came to the frosting I really didn't want it to be super sweet so I went with a plain cream cheese frosting and it worked out perfectly. Just a little <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">FYI</span>- the longer these guys sit out the more intense the jalapeno flavor gets. I would suggest eating these up with in 2 days or jalapeno is the only thing your going to smell or taste.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sorry about not posting as much but I've been enjoying some great lazy summer days and plus it's been a little to warm for baking. With summer coming to an end I wanted to share one of my summer favorites-<span style="color: #e06666;"><strong>Strawberries</strong></span>! The cupcakes were super moist and loaded with juicy <span style="color: #e06666;"><strong>strawberries</strong></span>. For the frosting I went with a swiss meringue buttercream which has an amazing silky and smooth texture. Think <span style="color: #e06666;"><strong>strawberry</strong></span> shortcake:)</span><br />

I conquered the 7 minute frosting!!!! The first time I attempted this, the darn batch went flat and I wasn't too happy about wasting a bunch of egg whites. So for awhile I just wrote it off, but after deciding to make these lemon meringue cupcakes I was faced once again with this frosting. Lets just say I'm glad I gave it another shot because it's wonderful!!! The only downer is that you have to use the frosting up the same day it's made or the sugar will separate from the eggs and it turns into a nasty soupy mess. The cupcake by the way was great and the lemon curd was super easy to make too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Instead of putting the frosting directly onto the cupcakes I decided to pipe some swirls onto some parchment paper. Then I turned the oven to broil and toasted the frosting for no more than 20-30 seconds. They burn easily so keep a close eye on them. </span><br />

Well to me a cupcake isn't a cupcake unless it's got frosting! The only exception is cheesecake they really don't need frosting since they are so rich. Along with adding frosting I also decided to fill the centers with jam instead of cutting them up and layering the jam. Definitely much easier! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is one of those recipes I wished that they would have said WARNING not for the less experienced baker. Don't get me wrong they were creamy, pretty and very tasty but truthfully they were a pain in the A$$!! First off you have to bake the cupcakes in a pan of water. Not clearly thinking this through, I thought I could find a pan big enough to hold my 1 dozen cupcake pan. It was close but the pan came up a little short. So after dumping half my cupcakes into a ill fitting pan, a little bird said "why not use a half dozen cupcake pan?" and finally I was in business! So about 6hrs later I finished #52 on my list I hope you like it!!!</span><br />

Let me tell you a little secret about these cupcakes... Use a whole 16oz jar of peanut butter in the batter. Yup the <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">W</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">H</span><span style="color: #c27ba0;">O</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">L</span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">E</span></span> thing. These cupcakes were exactly like the sandwich hands down! They seriously remind me of childhood :) The cake had the perfect texture. The jam- I almost went with grape but strawberry is definitely the winner here! I did my favorite peanut butter frosting recipe and over all they were a hit. I did have a small disastrous moment when I was trying to figure out where exactly I wanted to put the jam. I tried polka dots and lines but jam isn't anything like frosting and it ended up oozing all over the place so a dab on top is the best way to go I found. So grab a couple jars of peanut butter and try these out you wont be disappointed!!!</span><br />

One requirement was there couldn't be any hard candy for choking reasons. So I switched out parts like the elephants tusks and the lion's nose with melting chocolate. The alligator's head is actually a peanut butter cookie that I trimmed down and cover with frosting. Out of the 4 the monkey was actually the hardest for me to figure out. I originally was going to use vanilla wafers for both the face and ears but after I assembled one the poor thing looked more like a dog than a monkey! So after playing with a couple different cookies, I decided the little peanut butter cookies worked the best. Overall this was a great experience and it's nice to do something different and maybe a little artsy too :)</span><br />

Nope just taking a little break but I'm back now and ready to show off these tasty creations. I'm also excited to see that I'm half way through my challenge too. I never thought I would have <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">50</span> different cupcakes under my belt! So back to the cupcakes.... Think IHOP pancakes and bacon. Just grab a cup of OJ and you have a complete breakfast! I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese frosting but in this case it complemented the cupcake well with it's perfect combination of sweet and salty.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The best part of this recipe is that you use a box mix for the base which makes cuts the prep time in half making it perfect for a last min party. Just make sure to grab a white cake mix that has NO pudding. If you have some tequila hanging around you can also substitute out 1/4 cup of the margarita mix and that should give it a little extra kick too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've had my lovely Easter cupcakes picked out for months. I bought a 2 pound bag of lemons to make some amazing lemon meringue cupcakes. <strong>BUT</strong> then I came across the most intriguing post over on one of my favorite blogs </span><a href="http://www.cupcakeproject.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">cupcake project</span></a>.<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> They had themselves some cupcakes baked in egg shells. <strong>YES</strong> egg shells. I stopped dead in my tracks and was amazed! Who would have thought? Right? So since this seemed a lot more interesting than carrot or lemon cupcakes I started my hunt for the number one item on my list-speckled eggs. I really didn't think they would be that hard to find since Martha uses them and all. <strong>WRONG!!!!</strong> I checked every freakin store and one egg farm in town and found nothing close to speckled eggs. The closest thing I came too was brown eggs with slight spots on top. I gave up and just bought some brown eggs at Freddy's. Now onto the second part of this baking extravaganza the batter. What should I use? I started off with some red velvet dyed purple... Yes the batter was purple but after it's baked it looked like plain chocolate cupcakes. This was not good enough so on to the second plan-marble cupcakes-which is vanilla and chocolate batters separated and then swished together to make a pretty pattern. Perfect! Other than over filling these suckers they turned out great. The only thing I would do differently is some how give them a filling. Maybe next time... Anyways grab some lovely eggs and you're favorite cupcake recipe and give these a try. They will be a huge hit!</span><br />

I had a chance to make these delightful cuppy's for a co-worker's back to school theme birthday. I was also thinking these would be perfect for a snow white themed party too. So if you've got some time, patents and lots of extra doughnuts then bake up some of your favorite cupcakes and whip up some <span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span> frosting and and give them a shot.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">You Are the <span style="color: red;"><strong>Apple</strong></span> of My Eye Cupcakes</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Get a a box of mini and regular sized doughnuts and just play around with them. The best tip I can give is to make sure the cupcakes are FIRM before covering up the doughnuts with frosting. If you don't they will start pulling away when you go to dip them in the sprinkles.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The Goods</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">12 cupcakes baked in <span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span> liners. I used my favorite chocolate cupcake </span><a href="http://cuppycakechallenge.blogspot.com/2010/11/20-marshmallow-turkey-cupcakes.html"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">recipe</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> which I also used for the marshmallow turkey cupcakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">4 cups of <span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span> frosting I used </span><a href="http://cuppycakechallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/25-strawberry-confetti-birthday.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">Martha Stewart's Vanilla Buttercream</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and added some <span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span> gel food coloring</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">12 cake doughnuts I used regular size and cut them down to fit on the top of the cupcake. You don't want the doughnut hanging over the side of the cupcake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Red</span> sprinkles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">12 tootsie rolls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">12 <span style="color: #6aa84f;">green</span> sweetish fish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The How To</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After the cupcakes have had a chance to completely cool grab your red frosting and put a layer across the top this will act like the "glue" for the doughnuts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now if you've got some mini doughnuts just cut off about 1/2in off the bottom and place them on top of the doughnut. If you have regular sized ones like me then you will have to cut them down so none of the doughnut is hanging off the top of the cupcake.</span><br />

Don't get me wrong I cant live without the <span style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">yellow</span> </span>stuff but now I understand why some flavors just were not meant to be put in a cupcake! Along with mustard I promise never to make cuppys with anchovies. mushrooms, tater tots, or anything extremely gross sounding. I'll keep the mustard for my chicken, fries, and yes carrots and cucumbers (raw of course) :) </span><br />

I actually came across this in Haggen's in the checkout line when I was on a mission to find espresso powder. Good thing I did since I was in a frenzy trying to find a tasty recipe for espresso cupcakes. Totally worth the 10 bucks!! If you're a coffee lover then this cupcake will do the trick and also give you a dosage of caffeine too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What a great holiday!!! Nothing like having an excuse to drink something with food coloring in it!! lol In honor of this beer happy holiday I went with a Guinness chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate ganache and <span style="color: #38761d;">green</span> Bailey's Irish Cream frosting. Not a bad combination!!! The stout gave the chocolate a nice rich flavor and the bailey's frosting was creamy and didn't overpower the stout. If you make these a day before hand I noticed that the beer flavor becomes a little more prominent. So go grab Guinness and your <span style="color: #6aa84f;">green</span> food coloring and have a great day!</span><br />

This was a super easy, but extremely tasty recipe and if you're strapped for time. They don't take much time to whip up either. The recipe called for just plain pink champagne but I kicked it up a notch and used strawberry. The champagne flavor was not over powering and gave the cupcakes the perfect amount of strawberry flavor. And if your feeling a little thirsty and you have a little OJ laying around then you can make yourself a wonderful mimosa. <span style="background-color: white; color: #d5a6bd;">MMMM</span>! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just remember- It's 5 o'clock somewhere!!!!</span><br />

This months MS Cupcake Club pick was actually the Candied Hazelnut Cupcake but being a little strapped on time I thought I would test out my new mustache toppers instead. Plus paper is a little less time consuming than creating candied hazelnuts. So thank you Jeannette at <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://thewhimsicalcupcake.wordpress.com/">The Whimsical Cupcake</a> for this lovely pick!!! Here's how mine turned out and enjoy!!!</span></span><br />
