Relax....Have a Cupcake

For the second week in a row, I provided dessert for a yoga event sponsored by Dinah Alcon Skin Care Studio and Yoga Loft in Manhattan Beach.  Breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean added an extra bit of relaxation to the two classes offered, and even when the yoga poses proved to be more difficult than some of us could handle (and by difficult yoga poses, I mean headstands), we knew that lunch and cupcakes awaited us at the end of the class.

Each week, we had three flavors.  For Week One, we had theLEMON and two new flavors (a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and a caramel-filled chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting and toffee chips).  The caramel cupcake was so well received that I brought it back for week two, along with theORIGINAL and theHAZE.

Good times were had by all.  Namaste.

Featured Flavor: theMINTY

In honor of Girl Scout cookie season (one of my favorite times of the year), the flavor of the week is theMINTY.  My cupcake version of the popular Thin Mint is a moist chocolate cupcake with a mint infused chocolate ganache glaze.  So good with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk!!

Tinkerbell Cupcake Tower

For a Tinkerbell-themed birthday party, I created a kid-friendly cupcake tower which featured both standard-sized and miniature cakes in theLemon and theChocoholic. To add a Tink touch, flowers and colored sugars were used as edible embelishments.
