Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes are an uncanny and delicious cupcake evocation of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and because they are made with whipped cream buttercream, they are not at all too sweet. This post is in support of Cookies For Kids Cancer, and as such I did receive some baking equipment from OXO as…

Chocolate Cookie-Pecan-Toffee Streusel Topped Chocolate Muffins
It has been a weird week around here. It has been a while since I have gotten so behind in recipes. That awesome Mexican chicken soup I made fed us for 3 nights. It did its work too, as I am feeling better, instead of descending into a sinus infection as frequently happens.

But Sammy had requested pumpkin cupcakes for her birthday celebration at school, so, being a good mother who only forces dessert choices on her kids for about half of their birthday celebrations,…
Carrot Cupcakes with White Chocolate "Creamy Dreamy" Frosting

Tahitian Vanilla Cupcakes With Valrhona White Chocolate "Dreamy Creamy" Frosting
Yes I am still sick. Same apologies for typos and photos (and the photos, by the way, were oddly blue–everything that was white turned blue and I have no idea how to fix it and somehow am lacking the energy to care much honestly). Anyway, these cupcakes were outstanding and they have a funny story…
