Bake It in a Cake

I have a new recipe up on the great HelloGiggles.com! The Dirty Chai cupcake is a chai cupcake stuffed with an espresso brownie (that’s stuffed with a chocolate covered espresso bean) and topped with chai cream cheese frosting. WHOA. See the recipe here!

New year, new recipe! Cinnamon Toast Crunchcakes! With cinnamon buttercream. YUM. Here’s the recipe.

HAPPY 2013!

2012 has been pretty amazing, with the most notable event, of course, being the release of my new cookbook. Thanks, sincerely, for all the support—everyone who has bought it, shared it, written kind words about it, and shared their own creations with me. You’re the best.

Here’s to another very delicious year!

Plan on baking some treats this weekend for friends or family (or yourself—no judgment)? Here are a few of my favorite recipes, that’d definitely bring some holiday cheer:

There are even more great holiday recipes in my cookbook, Bake It in a Cupcake: 50 Treats With a Surprise Inside, which makes a great gift, if I do say so myself. 

Happy holidays!
