Yum!

Melanie and I finally had a chance to get together to do one of our favorite things.. Can you guess?

Baking Cupcakes! Of course! :)

We decided on making Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcakes that turned out pretty amazing! We brought these cupcakes to work the next day for our coworkers to try. They were definitely a success considering the cupcakes were gone in a few hours.

These cupcakes are definitely a breakfast treat, it's a cinnamon toast cake with a cinnamon filling, topped with cinnamon vanilla frosting. 

We agreed that the cupcakes were one of our top favorite cupcakes we've baked so far! And we hope to get together to bake some more cereal flavored cupcakes! 

Also, I recently baked a batch of Chocolate Cake Cupcakes w/ Cookie Dough filling and Butter Cream Frosting for my roommate Rosalie, who just got back from Africa. They were definitely a success as well!

Summer Cupcake Contest

A few months ago, my friend from school sent me a link to a Jelly Belly Cupcake Challenge, which was a contest where you decorate a cupcake(s) using Jelly Belly jelly beans and submit it for a chance to win $10,000! Melanie and I decided it would be a great opportunity to test out our decorating skills. So this week or sometime soon, we will begin our challenge and hopefully these cupcakes will turn out pretty! Keep a look out on a new video, pictures, and blog posts. We hope you guys support and vote for us! :)

Always and Forever,

The sweetest girls on the web <3  

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

It definitely has been way overdue since we last wrote a blog, and we apologize a million times. It's actually Melanie's turn to write a blog, which she promised she would do her best to write an update during our spring break which starts on March 18th! So for sure check back then! (And since it's been a while, I'll make sure she writes a loong amazing blog (: that will be worth reading!)

In the meantime, Melanie and I made birthday cupcakes last week for our friend's 21st birthday! We decided to bake her vegan margerita cupcakes (she's not vegan, but we decided to try it out..) and we felt that margerita flavored cupcakes would fit the theme perfectly! Here are some pictures of what they looked like.. you can also check them out in our Flickr album to the right of here! -->>

Oh and we took videos of us making these cupcakes, so keep intune for a finished video for that! :)

The Best, By Far.

Nancy and I got together yesterday and guess what we did?? Yup, we made cupcakes! My nephew has a christening and his first birthday this Sunday. My family is going to be throwing a party to celebrate. What's a better way to celebrate any occasion? Well, we think it is none other that to have cupcakes! Since there is going to be about 60 people at the party, and there will be tons of dessert already, we decided to make "tiny cupcakes". This way almost everyone would be able to try the cupcakes.

Nancy and I made chocolate malted cupcakes from scratch. We were a little worried since our history of making cupcakes from scratch isn't the best. We were very precautions in what we were doing. Once the batter started to get liquidly, we began to panic a bit. But atlas, when the cupcakes came out of the oven and we were able to try it, it tasted amazing. We finally got it right! The cupcake was moist and soft, just like how a cupcake SHOULD be. We are looking forward to everyone trying the cupcakes. I just hope they will still taste as good on Sunday as it did on Wednesday, but unfortunately Wednesday was the only time Nancy and I could get together to make them.

We have taken a video of us making the cupcakes and we also plan on making a video of the people at the party eating the cupcakes. In addition to those videos, we are currently working on an interview video, so you guys have plenty to look forward to. We definitely are wishing for the best this year. Somehow we have a good feeling about were Krazy4Kupcakes is headed :)

FYI, according to our poll, it looks like the strawberry champagne cupcake flavor was the most desired by our followers, so we will get on that as soon as we are back in Chicago. We promise it will be the first cupcakes we make when we go back to school.

Have a great weekened!

Scratch.....Disaster?

Ah, one by one the good ol' summer days go by... Sooner or later time will past and Melanie and I will be back living in the Chi! I, on one end am impatiently waiting until that day comes! Anyhoo, Melanie and I have kept our summers busy by making more and more cupcakes!! I know, exciting right? We kept our promises and finally tried making cupcakes from scratch. Last Sunday we promised my cousin that we would bake cupcakes for her graduation party. We asked her what kind she wanted, and she told us red velvet, so we did. Additionally, Melanie and I decided to create two extra flavors, and these would be the ones we would make from scratch. Can you guess which flavors these were? Well we wanted to make one that would be common to eat and also one that you guys selected based off the 'next flavor' poll on the side. Those of you who DID vote and helped us out, we really appreciate it!!! =)

Okay, so I'll just tell you... We ended up making Vanilla Caramel and Peanut Butter cupcakes. Sounds delish right? We thought so too. Melanie and I planned to make these cupcakes last Sunday before her party... But unfortunately Melanie found out she had to work that day. We had no other alternative day to make them because I had to work the day before. So therefore, we planned to split the cupcake making and do it separately. Let me tell you it was a TON of work. You wouldn't believe how long it took each of us to make them... Since Mel had all the cupcake ingredients at her house; she had to make the two cupcakes from scratch on her own. I on the other hand, only had to make the red velvet cupcakes from the box but also had to make the finishing touches of the cupcakes (toppings, decor). A total estimate of the time it took us to make these cupcakes on our own was approximately 6-7 hours!!!! Ugh.

  

Luckily, on Friday (6/25/2010) we already made the frosting from each cupcake so that saved us some time. We actually videotaped a few shots of us making the frosting, which will soon be posted! :) Overall, the cupcakes turned out... Well let's just say since it was our first times making it from scratch, it wasn't our best. But hey, everybody makes mistakes and learn from them right? We'll make sure the next homemade cupcake will be superb! My cousin "claims" that they were great, but we just think she's being too kind!! (Just teasing, Lisa!) We just wished they turned out a tad bit better.... Our biggest problem is how to avoid making a cupcake DRY? But we will be posting up pics and videos on that cupcake process. So keep intune!!!!


Our next creation is definitely going to be the Strawberry Champayne cupcake!!! Now that will be tasty! Melanie and I vowed that we will never make cupcakes without each other ever again!!! It was a horrible experience, and is no fun without a buddy there making it with you! :)

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (August 25, 2009)

A typical night here in the burbs of Chicago, as usual, absolutely nothing to do. So I decided to try and put my cooking skills to test and make chocolate chip cupcakes from scratch. I have never attempted to make anything from scratch before, considering I'm not an expert in culinary. I got this idea from Molly's Cupcakes. I had bought the "Cookee Monster" cupcake, and to my surprise it was delicious! In our gallery section, you can find a picture of it under Molly's Cupcakes. I love cookies! I would have to say, I, myself am a true cookie monster. Recently, I've been baking common desserts and decided to try something new. I really admired the treat at Molly's so I wanted to see if I could cook myself something similar to it. I got the homemade recipe from cooks.com. On the site you can find a variety of different kinds of recipes and not just cupcakes. The recipe that I used also had a toppings recipe. I decided to try it out, and it actually turned out really good as well! I will most definitely use this recipe again and share it with my friends and family! Here are some pictures of my chocolate chip cupcakes! Enjoy!
