Bake-and-Take Cupcakes

I have this idea pinned on my Cool Ideas bulletin board on Pinterest. It is such a great idea, that I have already used it twice. The first time was for Megan's guests to take leftover cupcakes home from her 16th birthday party. The second time was for a bake sale. It is perfect for a bake sale.

You will need a 9-oz, clear-plastic solo cup, 4" x 9.5" bag, twist tie or ribbon.

Here is a really cool tip: Place an undecorated cupcake into the cup. Fill a decorating bag with large tip with frosting. Frost cupcake while it is in the cup. Try not to touch the edge of the cup.

Place cup into a bag. Close with twist tie or a pretty ribbon.

It also makes it really convenient to transport your cupakes to where they need to go!

The Best Vanilla Cake Ever!

Full credit for the ultimate vanilla cake and vanilla frosting goes to Rosie from Sweetapolita . Not only were the directions really easy to follow, but I made two batches on two different days and they came out exactly the same AND perfect. I have never made a cake this way before. It was backwards from the way I've usually done it. It almost seemed like making pastry for a minute. The only thing I did different was add 1 Tbs. of vanilla bean paste and then 1 Tbs. of vanilla extract.

Candy Cane Valentine

If you're like me, you might have a lot of candy canes left over from Christmas. Or, you might wait until they are 90% off and pay next to nothing for a box. I think I paid 20 cents for 44 candy canes. I love being able to take one thing and use it for another. All you need to make this heart is two candy canes and red ribbon. I hot glued the top and bottom of the candy cane. Then I tied a ribbon and curled the ends and glued it to the front of the heart. I took another piece of ribbon, made a loop and tied the bottom and glued it to the back. That's it! Cute! February 20, 2013 Here is my patriotic version. Some friends of mine helped me make over 100 of these last night to hand out at the Veteran's Breakfast that will be held March 2nd in Pepperell, MA. My daughter, Megan and I organized a little variety show for the Veterans. Megan and her sister, Ryan will be dancing along with a lot of their d...

Bailey's Irish Cream Fudge

adapted from iVillage.com March 1995 This is an obvious choice for my second recipe since I just mentioned it in the last post. I'm not kidding when I tell you that this is the best fudge you will ever eat. It is my daughter, Ryan's favorite fudge ever. The best part is it makes 5 lbs., definitely enough to go around. I make this every Christmas.
