One call for cupcakes and what do you end up with? Well over what I could come up with in a year. Over 60 recipes, each different… lots of chocolate cupcakes, many fruity cupcakes, some spicy ones, and a few more that fit no category. Garrett and I were delighted (if slightly overwhelmed) with the response.
Enjoy browsing. I know I have. I will be hard pressed to pick just one recipe to recreate for a future post.
Note that cupcakes are organized into four categories (chocolate, fruit, spice, other) and that there are a handful of gluten-free recipes dispersed among them.

That was fun, but crazy in the amount of time it took to put that final post together.
Lets do it again, but maybe wait a year.

Hi, Cheryl! I’ve visited your blog many times, but a couple of days ago I tried one of your recipes for the first time. (Devil’s Food Cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream) I had to tell you it came out perfect!! It was the first time I made my own frosting and used a pastry bag! I’m in heaven! :oD I just published the recipe on my blog, and included a link to your recipe, OK? After this huge success, I’ll try more of your recipes pretty soon…
Best regards from Brazil!

This is a great round-up - I’ve stopped by your site before but was looking for posts about Nutella for World Nutella Day on February 6th.
Do you think you have one more Nutella cupcake recipe-etc hidden somewhere??
More info on my blog or www.nutelladay.com

A blog devoted to cupcakes. My life is now complete!
Comment by Domsticated Goddesss — February 2, 2007 @ 12:11 pm
There are so many talented bakers out there! I am soooooooo hungry after looking at those pictures and reading their descriptions. Thanks for sharing!
Comment by melizzle — February 2, 2007 @ 11:42 pm
This is really cool. I found this blog a couple of months ago when I was looking for recipes. I love sweets but I had no interest in baking cupcakes until now. So far I’ve only made 2 (I actually just baked the Lemongrass cupcakes tonight) and they’ve been great. You make cupcakes fun for grown-ups. Thanks!
Comment by Jeanette — February 4, 2007 @ 11:43 pm
When I came upon this website I was thrilled! What better theme is there for a website than cupcakes! I just can’t wait to try one of the many receipies! Wow! This website looks really awesome and the images are really nice. Thanks for making such a great webpage!!!
