I'm not a huge fan of maple, so I was surprised at how delightful these cupcakes were considering they host a full 2 cups of maple syrup! I thought a slice of bacon was the perfect topper for these breakfast-y treats!<br />
<br />
Happy Baking!<br />

Hello Cupcake Bakers! As you can see we are still plugging along in this book and only have about a dozen recipes left! This has been such a fun experience for me as a novice baker, learning new techniques and getting out of my recipe comfort zone!<br />
<br />
This month, we are baking Blondie Cupcakes found on pages 100-101. These are a great everyday cupcake and are easily transportable. I made a batch for my birthday. You can see them <a href="http://simplegirlathome.blogspot.com/2013/04/blondie-cupcakes.html">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
Feel free to link up any time this month.<br />
<br />
Happy Baking!<br />

Hello? Anybody there? If anyone is up for baking, here's what's going down in the next couple of months:<br />
<br />
FEBRUARY 15 - <b>STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES</b> p. 146. I thought that these pink and red cupcakes would be perfect for Valentine's Day!<br />
<br />
MARCH 15 - <b>STOUT CUPCAKES</b> p. 78-79. What could say St. Patrick's Day more than a cupcake made with beer?<br />
<br />
We've made a pretty big dent in the recipes in Martha's amazing Cupcake book and I'm going to just keep on baking! I've learned a thing or two from every recipe. I hope you will continue to bake along with me! See you on the 15th!<br />
<br />
HAPPY BAKING!<br />

Go ahead and buy the BIG bag of pistachios from Costco, because you are going to need a lot of them! Since Costco only has shelled, roasted and salted pistachios in my neck of the woods, that's what I used. I just omitted some of the salt in the recipe! These cupcakes are moist and packed with flavor, so what are you waiting for? Start Baking!</div>

Then I remembered that I get to bake Mocha Cupcakes which are this month's baking assignment at the Martha Stewart Cupcake Club! <br />
<br />
I must admit that I've had a bit of trouble with Martha's 7 minute frosting, but if you would like a foolproof recipe, you can find my mom's version <a href="http://simplegirlathome.blogspot.com/2010/10/snickerdoodle-cupcakes-msc.html">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
As usual, feel free to comment with any questions on this month's assignment.<br />
<br />
Happy Baking!<br />

January 15. April 15. May 15. June 15. September 15. October 15. And buy my niece a birthday present. December 15.<br />
<br />
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, it's time to start baking. I hope you'll join me in these incredible looking Coconut-Pecan Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache. Just remember, if your grocery store doesn't carry it, you can get by without it. That's my motto! Thanks to <a href="http://sweetjoan.wordpress.com/">Sweet Joan</a> for selecting this month's baking assignment!<br />
<br />
As always, when you are finished posting your assignment, just leave a comment below with your direct link and we will check it out!<br />
<br />
Happy Baking!<br />

I know, it's hard to believe. I know at least one person has already baked, and I would love to hear from more of you! Since we are a casual sort of club, feel free to bake the assignments and comment with your links whenever you get around to it! I will check them eventually! I will also have my post up tomorrow! (Since, as I previously mentioned, I forgot!)<br />
<br />
Also, let me know if there is a cupcake that you can't wait to try by commenting below. If not, I will have to take it upon myself to pick them all! :-)<br />
<br />
Happy Baking!<br />

OK, so the move has put me a little behind the 8-ball but I thought the Streusel Cupcakes on p. 63 would be a nice step into fall. If you would like to make any suggestions for our baking assignments for the remainder of the year, please leave a comment below! If you have any comments or questions on the Streusel Cupcakes, leave those comments below as well! <br />

I picked an EASY cupcake selection this month, because I knew that I would be in the middle of a cross country move! Well, I've unpacked my cupcake pans and I'm ready to try my ovens for the very first time! Enjoy these delicious seasonal berries during the last few weeks of summer! These cupcakes are breakfast approved!<br />
