Friday's Cupcake Menu

Hazelnut cupcake with a mascarpone icing topped with chopped hazelnuts (my favorite cupcake)

"Root beer float cupcake"

This is a picture of the inside of the root beer float cupcake... YUMMY!

These cupcakes were a lot of fun to make! I used toasted hazelnuts from Roots Market and I tried a new ingredient in my icing, mascarpone. It made the cupcakes light and tasty!

The root beer float cupcakes were made with root beer extract from Roots Market, a homemade vanilla mousse filling, and a root beer cream cheese icing.

Another day of cupcake making...

Devils chocolate with cream cheese and a little John Deere love!

Today I spent my afternoon baking cupcakes. I got 3 orders for the weekend. I made (with some help from a friend and family), a traditional red velvet with cream cheese icing, a red velvet cupcake that was flavored with beets instead of red dye with cream cheese icing, devils chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing and one of my new favorites orange creamsicle with a blood orange whipped cream.

John Deere Cupcakes

Dark chocolate mocha with espresso buttercream topped with homemade hand drawn white chocolate John Deere logo's. I made these for a "free luncheon" in Oxford.

Orange-o-licous....

Orange creamsicle cupcake

I bought some blood oranges and I wanted to do something fun with them. The cupcake is an orange cupcake with a blood orange whip cream topped with a candied orange peel. I also put some homemade blood orange syrup into the cupcake that I made today after I baked them. It adds a nice sweetness to the cucpake.

Mojito Cupcakes

Speciality cupcake: mojito cupcake with a blackberry-lime cream cheese icing

We used fresh limes, blackberries and a Mojito rum that was infused with natural mint

to create this masterpiece.

News that shocked me...

Last week when I was at the bank I was talking to the banker about the cupcake business. I was talking about my future dream of having a cupcake bakery possibly in the area. I stated that there were no bakery of that sort in a 20 miles radius. I also told her how we make our own vanilla, and really want to use as many organic items as we can. I proceeded to tell her that we make each cupcake batter individual and we don't mass produce. She asked me if I knew about Dutchway and Giant, and I said no. She said that Dutchway and Giant do not bake their own cakes or cupcakes. I was SHOCKED! I just assumed they did the baking since they had a bakery in store. I don't think I will ever buy a cake or get cupcakes from a store bakery again. I am proud to say that Country Cupcakes do make FRESH baked goods and everything is made to order. As much as I love Dutchway and I do; I shop there every week, I won't be buying any cakes or cupcakes from them. If you are looking for fresh cupcakes make sure you get in touch with me! I would be happy to create something amazing for your occasion!!

Before the business started.... oldies but goodies!

I have always loved to bake and cook for others. Here are some pictures of some cupcakes that I have made in the past (before Country Cupcakes came about).

OLDIES BUT GOODIES!

Yellow cake with chocolate icing (simple but delish)

My Mom, Brynne and I (with help from friends) made over 100 cupcakes for our 30th Birthday. These are white cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream topped with candied rose petals.


This is a chocolate cabernet cupcake with a Lady Godiva white chocolate buttercream. Another creation for our 30th.

These were cupcakes from Kylee's 1st birthday. They are champagne cupcakes (the alcohol cooks out) with a raspberry buttercream.

This was my first attempt at making "fancy" cupcakes. This was for Makayla's 3rd birthday. We did a Spring theme since her birthday is in March. They are white cupcakes with vanilla buttercream topped with marshmallow flowers. They were fun to do, but very sticky at times!
