Have a Peachy Valentine's Day!
I find baking to be very relaxing. I throw on my apron, crank up my Regina Spektor Pandora channel, and get in the zone. I enjoy creating something that doesn't have to be perfect, because it will be eaten anyway. You can be creative in taste, texture, color, and appearance.
I had a can of peaches in the pantry, so I decided to go with a "peachy valentine's day" theme.
Cupcake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Add dry ingredients to a bowl:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 tablespoon of salt
Add these ingredients to your mixer:
1/3 cup softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 can peaches (do not drain) puree'd or chopped finely
1/2 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
Mix Well
Gradually add dry ingredients into your mixer
When mixed well, pour into cupcake tins and bake for 18-20 minutes
Cream Cheese Icing:
Mix until fluffy
8oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup softened butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Remove cupcakes and move them to a drying rake to cool. After cooled, pipe icing and decorate to your liking!
HAVE A PEACHY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Cheers,

Sweet Potato Cupcakes
In the mood for something sweet and savory? This weekend, we attended a sushi making party, and decided to bring cupcakes to share. Many of you know that over the past several months, I have been baking and decorating sweet creations. Last week, I came across a receipe for Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Pecans.
For those of you looking for a crowd pleaser, this is the cupcake for you! While it does take a while to prepare, the homemade cream cheese icing and from scratch pecan brittle will leave everyone talking.
Enjoy!
