January just flew by. For the first half of the month, we were looking to find our next apartment. Did we mention we moved?? Moving is always a daunting task in New York City. But when you’re us, you’re prepared with everything you need. When you go in to apply for an apartment, you have everything ready to go because NYC apartments move so fast. It’s what got us our…
When your sweet tooth acts up, sometimes you just want to make a few cupcakes instead of a whole box. Or when you’re in a pickle because you forgot a birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s Day, you could whip up a quick batch of cupcakes for two. These fudgy brownie heart cupcakes are delicious and are a perfect dessert for V-day. Roaming around Pinterest last week, I stumbled upon The Baker Chick’s blog…
Before you read, it’s important to note this post not sponsored. We loved our food vendors and wanted to show them some extra love. When planning your wedding, vendors are key. Finding the right vendor can be tricky. Since our wedding took place in my hometown, we went with local vendors. The first vendor we locked down, was Alyssa’s Cakery. In the year before booking her, we had so many…
When you’re hosting a party, the last thing you want to do is spend most of your time decorating food. You have a million other things to do like clean up the mess in the kitchen and make sure everything is in its place. These wicked witch cupcakes are so cute and easy to make. If you’re going to make cupcakes, spruce them up with witches hats and straws. I…
Repost with updates! What better way to celebrate your Labor Day weekend than with some great food? Serve up everything from quinoa, to goat cheese, to balls of meat (no not meatballs, balls of meat), to potato salad, burgers, hot dogs, and mexican corn. It was all so good! In an effort to jumpstart your party menu, here are some delicious photos of the food we’ve eaten over various parties this past summer… Appetizers:…
Ice cream, ice cream, we all scream for ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES! The last time I had one of these was when I looked like this: Well…maybe a little older than that haha. My coworker sent me a link to Baked Bree’s Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes (she’s a huge fan), and I was inspired to make these for one of the summer Fridays I had to go into work. I used…
Thanks for tuning into our baking tip for Rachael Ray’s fourth of July show! We had a blast making the video and loved watching it on TV. Here’s the clip in case you missed it! Here’s our corn on the cob cupcakes post.…
What better way to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day than with some great food? This past weekend we ventured into Brooklyn to celebrate our friend’s birthday (aka Ummm Now What) and had some really delicious food (most of which is featured below). Everything from quinoa, to goat cheese, to balls of meat (no not meatballs, balls of meat), to potato salad, burgers, hot dogs, and mexican corn. It was all so good!…
I’m not sure if Cookie Monster would react like this, but it’s a reaction I’d hope to get if he saw these Cookie Dough Cupcakes. As you’ve read on many posts before, I love cookie dough. I think I might like it more than the actual cookie. Yes, consuming raw cookie dough is not advised. However, I think everyone should try their cookie dough before baking cookies. If you like…
At this point you’re probably sick and tired of my obsessions with M&Ms, cookie dough, Cookie Monster, frosting, and cookies in general. But how cute are these Cookie Monster Cupcakes!? If you made these for your kid’s birthday party, your little guests will be bouncing off the wall. So make sure you serve these right before they all go home, haha. These are simple to make. Just add some edible cookie dough…
It’s never too late to post something, right? It’s been really busy in the Marquis-Sow household. Fatima’s been swamped with work, going about 7 days a week straight, coming back at midnight, and I’ve been swamped with my accounting class. Figures, right? The semester where I’m taking accounting, Fatima is in the trenches of busy season. For throwback Thursday, I’m going to discuss our Super Bowl cupcakes. For Super Bowl,…
Heavenly. I have no words to describe these delicious pumpkin bread cupcakes, other than heavenly. O.M.G! When deciding to make a pumpkin cupcake, I didn’t want to make a light, spice cake cupcake. I wanted a heavier cupcake, so I used a pumpkin bread recipe. The cream cheese frosting is very basic recipe, but does the trick. It’s light, moist, and not too sweet – a great pairing to the…
Happy birthday to Fatima! Last year, I made Fatima a cookies and cream cake. She loves anything cookies and cream – especially those Hershey’s cookies and cream bars. I’m not a fan, but that’s one of the only sweets she’ll eat. This year, to pair with my peanut butter cup cupcakes, I made her some cookies and cream cupcakes. I used a butter golden cake mix, a can of vanilla…
Happy birthday to meeeeee! Ughgh another year older. Last year, Fatima made me a delicious Peanut Butter Cup Cake. Peanut butter cups are one of my favorite things. This year I wanted to make something similar. These delicious peanut butter cup cupcakes are simple and easy to make. Take your favorite cupcake flavor (I went with chocolate), a plain ol’vanilla frosting can, and add in your favorite treats. I loaded…
Yum, yum, yum. This weekend, we celebrated my dad’s birthday. Some of his favorite things are Raisinets, the Giants, Despicable Me, trains, and Dunkin’s Boston Kreme donuts. So I thought I would invite him to a screening of Despicable Me 2, and make some boston creme cupcakes! I should disclose that my company’s parent company, Comcast, owns Universal Pictures. Any reviews/expressions of the film are that of my own and…
Here’s a fun way to decorate your cupcakes for your summer picnics. Make Corn on the Cob Cupcakes! Haha – no corn involved – just jelly beans. Out of a small bag of mixed jelly beans, there were only enough yellow beans to make one of these cupcakes, so I’m not sure where you can find only yellow jelly beans, but good luck!! We found the corn skewers at Michael’s for…
