Wow… what a list! Props on all your creations!
What a totally inspiring list!
I love to browse your site on a slow day at work, it’s inspiring! really enjoy baking cupcakes now.
is it ok if i link your recipes (the ones that i try/have tried) to my site?
Renita, feel free to link away.
Chockylit….I have also I’ve tried several of your recipes (Smores being top 3) and you have an amazing talent. Your site is bookmarked on my computer:) Your creative mind mixed with baking skills is a great mix. I also have a question if you don’t mind. My daughter’s 1st birthday is in November. I was wondering what would be a good/great cupcake to make for the kids? Then for the adults? Thanks for your time. Hope all is well with the little one. Don’t they grow so fast :)!!!
WOW!!! I came across your website after I Googled “choc cupcake recipe” and I’m addicted. I have loved to bake since I was little and have always wished I had followed my passion for all things sweet and gone to the Cullinary Academy…anyway, I still bake when I can (I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old). I have now book marked your site and am going to make some choc. cupcakes for my friends birthday. You are INSPIRING!!!
This would be by far the best cupcake book out there, and you already have to beautiful and professional photos to go with each recipe! I love it when there’s a photo of every recipe when i read a book and your blog fulfills that to the extreme! I’m sure you’d have publishers knocking out your door (if you don’t already!
thanks a million for the gift of truly *gourmet* cupcakes.
I’ve noticed that you have several different recipes for chocolate cupcakes and chocolate ganache. What is your reason for this? If you had to pick just one recipe for both, which would it be?
Selah, Funny you ask. In fact there is a reason (especially with ganache) I have different recipes and I was actually planning to do my next post about it. There isn’t just one recipe, but a recipe depending on the what I am going for. If you don’t mind waiting a week or two, you will get your answer!
hi. i’ve been trying some of your recipes and they are fantastic. my current favourite is the ‘red velvet cupcakes’ which i find so awesome. well, my question is how would you make a ‘royal icing’ and flavour of cupcakes (from your long list) that best suited the topping. thank you and do keep baking. you are such an inspiration!!
I saw a recipe over the summer for cupcakes where you mixed something–probably pudding mix–in with the batter and as the cupcakes baked in the over, it turned into pudding ‘by magic’. I just thought “oh, so that’s how they do it”. Now my little boy is turning 5, is way into science and into surprizes, as well as pudding and chocolate, and I’d love to bake these with him for his party. But I CAN”T FIND THE RECIPE online. I can find tons of recipes that say make cupcakes then chop the heads off or squirt filling inside, but that seems like cheating, and would certainly not have the ‘wow’ effect of pudding just showing up in there. His party is Sun )ct 7. I hope you get this adn can get back to me in time!
Hi, I would like to know the brand of disposable molds/mini pans of cupcake that you use for your confections.
help, my cupcakes seem to b e very dry.. i thought it was my oven and my husband surprised me with a new oven.any other suggesstions?
On your March 31, 2006 blog, you showed your Papaya Coconut cupcakes in metal molds. What kind of molds are these and do you know where I can purchase them? Thanks so much for you help. Love your blog.
My husband turns 40 in February and I would like to sreve cupcakes at the party since I have food alergies and so do many of our friends. Mine are wheat and dairy, the other main one is egg and dairy. Do you have suggestions for recipes? Thank you for your consideration.
I tried your chocolate cupcake recipe, and recieved nothing but complements on it!
I was wondering if you’ve ever tried a snowball cupcake, since I’ve been looking for the recipe for a while.
I am absolutely in love with your site!! Spent a couple of hrs reading through. I wish to try some of ur recipes.
I just stumbled upon your blog and am in love. This is truly for practical reasons, we love baking in our house but we have out baked our cookbook supply and I only have mixed enjoyment of epicurious’s recipes for cup cakes or cakes. But you’ve just exponentially added to our repertoire.
I’m not a baker and I don’t know a lot about it. Is it possible to make a sort of vanilla, soy kind of cupcake? It sounds good. I’m craving silk and reading your recipes at the same time. Haha.
Do you have any ideas for a “Superbowl” cupcake? I’m throwing a party and wanted to make different cupcakes for dessert. I thought it would be neat to do something football or team related (even with the team colors). But, I haven’t come up with anything yet. Thanks for your thoughts!
Hi Chockylit, I have joined your legions of admiring fans – you are truly inspirational.
Have you thought about publishing your recipes? With your fantastic photography and the current craze for cupcakes I can imagine this would be a possibility – I work in a bookstore, and after trawling through every cupcake recipe book in the store not even one of those books was as thorough, helpful and inspirational as your recipes!
I’m off to bake your Opera cupcake for an afternoon tea party – thanks for sharing with all of us.
I am absolutely blown away by the ingredients you use in your cupcakes! I have to try one asap.
Oh my! I saw your website from just clicking some random cooking sites, and i must say I LOVE ALL YOUR CUPCAKES! The pictures are just divine and its-making-you-hungry kind of feeling! I agree with cupcakecurious, you should definitely publish a book and i will certainly buy it! =) I can’t wait to buy all the ingredients and let my family and especially my fiance taste it! Keep up the good work and God bless you!
Hi! I stumbled across your site while googling for cupcakes. It is quite a trend nowadays here in the Philippine. I particularly like how you use exotic/tropical/unusual ingredients to make out-of-this-world cupcake flavor combinations! Kudos to you and your site! I will surely try the red velvet cupcake recipe you have.
I’m browsing your site for a recipe for my son’s first birthday when I noticed your baby is just one week younger than Aidan. Do you know what cupcake you will make for your daughter’s birthday? Will you share?
I really enjoy your site. Especially your photos.
Any recipes using rhubarb? I’d be interested.
hi chockylit, i made your chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and they turned out fantastic! my two year old loves them too, thanks for creating such an awesome site to reference for cupcake inspirations, your site is my newest bookmark. keep up the yummy work!
love your page but miss the old ingredients search!!!
Thank you for your fabulous recipes and delicious flavor combinations. I hope you will be up again soon and will archive these recipes for those of us who love them. Good luck and show up again soomer than later!!! Please make sure you link the pages when you are up on the new site…so we can find fabulous YOU again!
Love your site and am so sad you won’t be updating! I made your old-fashioned chocolate cupcakes with the choc icing for my son’s preschool class. A huge hit.
Will miss your cupcake blog. you made what looks like tasty combinations.
thank you for your fabulous recipes – i shall continue to visit these pages as you are amazingly inspirational.
Glad to see your back again….
I always come here for inspiration. My little cupcake blog was a bit of a creation inspired by your work. i wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a fabulous 2010. may it be a very auspicious year.
Thank you so much! All the best for 2010 for you as well. Thanks!
I want to start by saying that you do amazing work.
I have a question, have you been able to find anyone that sells the nut cups that you use for your cupcakes in any color other than white? I am doing some cupcakes for a wedding and i would like to spice them up a little with something other than white.
I know that you are probably very busy, so i thank you in advance for your time. Keep up the amazing work!
I have never seen anything other than white.
You’ve completely inspired me to be more adventurous in the kitchen. Earlier this week it was Burns’ Day in Scotland – a national day to celebrate the birthday of our most famous poet. We traditionally eat that Scottish culinary fayre, haggis. It’s served with mashed potatoes, mashed turnip and a shot of whisky. I thought…perhaps a cupcake?? I grated potato into the sponge (like carrot cake), filled the cakes with caramelised turnip, added a whisky frosting and crumbled a sweet haggis with oatmeal, raisins and spices on top. It was a huge hit!!! It actually tasted nice. thanks for giving me the courage to have a go!!
cool recipes! I will definitely have to try some of theseee :)!!!
Btw, does anyone know what “regular” cupcakes mean? ..the bigger sized ones? how about the mini muffin sized ones? if you make the mini ones, is it the same degree and time?? thanks.
I was just wondering, what size are your paper cups that you use? Are they like the mini muffin cups, or the regular sized muffin cups?
How could I use the same recipe for regular sized cupcakes for mini muffin sized?
Is the temperature and time the same?
I have a question! What if I want to make mini cupcakes, when the recipe is for regular sized cupcakes? Is it the same temperature to bake and the same time? Thanks.
My brother’s 30th birthday is coming up this Sunday (August 8th). A few months ago when I was making cupcakes for my father’s work I made a Chocolate Chipolte cupcake with Cinnamon Buttercream. He said he’d love to try… ending is I never made it for him. I was going to make this along with some others for his birthday but I just realized that he doesn’t like chocolate. Got any ideas of something HOT HOT HOT that a vanilla-lover would like?
My daughter is a big fan of red velvet cupcake and I always sample out new recipe everytime I bake her one since I am still on the pursuit for the best tasting recipe. This recipe I would like to try next, looks really yummy. Thanks for the share.
Your cupcakes recipes are so creative! I can’t wait to try your Thai Tea Cupcake recipe.
your cupcakes are amazing! your such an inspiration!
I love your blog. Few people share their recipes for free. Thank you for sharing yours. I’ve just recently gotten turned on to cupcakes and have found several of your recipes I can’t wait to try. If you ever take in recipes, I have a great one I’d love to share with you. I converted a cake recipe I have called Sweetish Pineapple. It makes great cupcakes with crushed pineapple. Thanks again for being so generous with your recipes.
I love your blog….. you have expanded my crazy for cupcake world. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I will try many of them over the next few weeks and months. I love all your basic info also. Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a healthy and happy, filled with cupcake, new year!
You website is AMAZING!!! I want to open a Cupcake shop when I’m older and I’m looking for some good recipes to try out. All of your recipes look wonderful! I’m printing out 22 pages of recipes!!
Okay the chocolate you use I haven’t seen. So, what second best chocolate would you recommend?
Thanks, and definately saving this website as a regular favourite!
I have never seen them in anything but white. It would be awesome if they came in colors!
Great recipes. I plan to make some for Valentines Day.
Ok, so my gf has a major sweet tooth. I think I’m going to try to make her the ice cream cupcake. Sounds awesome. Thanks for the recipes.
wow, so many cupcakes to choose from! great blog!
That is a fabulous list of cakes!! I think I need to go shopping for some ingredients!
Marvelous! Lots of choices and different kinds of recipe of cupcakes here. Thanks for posting it up, all in one package.
ooohhhh…..I almost wish I wouldn’t have found your site now, as I see way too much baking in my future! These all sound AMAZING!!!
These all look absolutely amazing, I cannot wait for winter break to arrive to I can go crazy baking! I was just wondering, since I am not a big fan of frosting, if there were any especially ideal for me or if maybe you would make a recipe that did not rely so heavily on it. Incredible site though, it is a pleasure browsing it!
I do a lot of cupcakes on my blog. Yours are awesome! Check out my blog!
AMAZINGG cupcakes. I, as well, am addicted to cupcakes. I think about them all the time, bake them all the time, and go crazy when I find new recipes cause I always want to start making them so bad. And guess what? I found new recipes on this site! They ALL look absolutely delicious!!
