Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes

These cupcakes are soooo easy and are an adorable addition to any Thanksgiving feast!

To make these pumpkins, all you need is:

Any flavor cupcakes

Tootsie Rolls for the stems

Green Tootsie Rolls for the vines

Bright orange icing (or white icing dyed with yellow and red food coloring- mix to sight)

All you have to do is top the cupcakes with the orange icing. Cut the tootsie rolls in half in a diagonal angle, and put one half of a tootsie roll on the center top of each cupcake. Roll out the Green Tootsie Rolls until they are very skinny, cut them to any length you desire, and then twirl them to make a vine look. Add them to the cupcakes so that it looks like the vine is coming out of the stem. Viola! You have a good looking edible patch of pumpkins!

Cook Out Cupcakes

I've done it again folks... Dessert for dinner! These are definitely one of my favorite "specialty" cupcakes to make, both for ease and cuteness, so they were worth repeating! If you're interested refer to my original post on hamburger cupcakes to find out how to make these deceiving delicacies!

Don't mind me, ill just me eating my "Dinsert" "Supsert" "Dessertner" "Dinnssert" "Dessinner"

Yup, definitely going with "dessertner."

Neapolitan Cupcakes

Yuuuuuum!!! These are delicious!!

The original recipe is from allrecipes.com but it uses vanilla and brownie instead of strawberry. I found the strawberry and brownie idea from the blog iheart2stamp.

I followed the original recipe down to a "t." The only thing I did differently is I used cream cheese icing instead of vanilla. YUM!!

Be sure and follow the ingredients and directions because its not the same as the box. The cake and brownies need to be a different consistency than normal to go well together.

*Beware though, the recipe says it yields 4 dozen cupcakes, but I got a little less than 2 dozen. My cupcakes are a little larger than a normal cupcake because I have never gotten down the "fill 2/3s of the way full" concept, but even if they had been the right size I think the recipe might yield a little over 2 dozen.

I have had people rage about these cupcakes every time I have made them. They really are delicious. I am not even a strawberry cake fan, but mixed with the chocolate these cupcakes are ridiculous. I encourage you to try them and in doing so you will become everyone's favorite baker. :) Happy baking!
