September's Cupcakes

I think I may have mentioned this before.  I make a LOT of cupcakes, at least 50 a month for work.  I have even had a couple of people ask me to make them for other occasions :)

I forgot to post about August's cupcakes, but I promise I will soon.  I feel bad, it's been over a month since I've posted!  Please, forgive me...

I made peanut butter and jelly cupcakes a long time ago and this month there was a request for them.  It's a basic peanut butter cake with a PB frosting beautifully piped on top.  The jelly came in the form of my homemade blueberry/cherry/peach jam that I tucked inside of the crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside cupcakes.

Taking it a tiny bit farther I added a mini nutter butter on top.  Seriously, they are adorable!


The second cupcake I made this month was inspired by some blackberries I got in my CSA box this week.  I ended up making a delicious lemon cupcake with the blackberries in the frosting.  I made these cute by putting a blackberry on top.  Again, adorable.


I am really enjoying making cupcakes.  In my opinion they are much better than cake.  They are individual sweet treats.

Try one of these and comment with what you think.  

Until next time.
