Cactus Cupcakes

cactuspotcupcakes

 

I was contacted by the ever so talented, Erin of Gypsy Sol Designs, to bake for her nieces high school graduation party. I was so excited when she showed me her inspiration for cactus cupcakes. I was stumped at first because I didn’t know how I would bake the cake in terra-cotta pots. I did a little research and a quick trial and error and found out that the suggestion of lining the pots with foil would simply not work. A standard sized liner wouldn’t sit high up enough to bring the cake to top of the pot so I got to thinking…I began pulling out all the liners that I own and figured out that tulip liners would do the best.

When I go home to visit my parents I always look forward to their cooking. I mean, who doesn’t? It always reminds me of when I got to spend two years during college before we got married when I moved home to finish school. I would always (and still do) kid with my Mom by asking if she was making her chicken skillet for dinner.

Churro Cupcakes {recipe}

A few weeks ago I was asked to bake for a fiesta themed bridal shower. Right away I thought that churro and strawberry margarita cupcakes would be a total hit and the client was even more excited. For the churro cupcakes I took my go-to vanilla cake recipe and added cinnamon, filling the cupcakes with salted caramel and topping with silky cinnamon cream cheese frosting. A churro cupcake wouldn’t be complete without a crunchy homemade churro, so I fried heart shaped churros and topped each cupcake with the cinnamon-sugar goodness. With Cinco de Mayo only a week a way these would be perfect for any fiesta themed get together!
