Cold Stone Creamery Cupcakes: Hit or Miss?
If you’ve been living under a rock (or don’t spend all day on the internet), you may not have heard of Cold Stone Creamery’s newest gimmick: ice cream cupcakes. I saw them all over the blogs, and I have to admit, I was intrigued. They’ve got three flavors: Sweet Cream, Cake Batter Delux and Double […]
Happy March! Testing’s Over!
I can’t believe that it’s only been a month since this crazy cupcake business began! In one month, I’ve tested around 30 cupcake recipes, picked a name (Tickled Pink Cupcakery, if you haven’t heard), applied for a vendor spot at Dayton’s 2nd Street Market (hoping to hear about it soon!), picked out my boxes and […]

Another Test Round and.. I picked a Name!
I’m getting closer and closer to finishing testing! I’m really excited to announce that our name, after much deliberation (and Googling), is Tickled Pink Cupcakery! I’m can’t wait for things to take off- I’ve already got a few custom jobs lined up. I promise that testing will be over soon.. I hope it’s not annoying […]
Test Kitchen: More Cupcakes!
I’m getting closer and closer to finishing all of my testing. Looking at my list now, I only have about six or seven left to test (there are some in the oven now and some baked yesterday that aren’t included here, so more to come tomorrow!) These cupcakes don’t really have that much in common […]
New Addiction: Homemade Hummus and Pita
I’ve been meaning to make hummus and pita FOREVER. I mean, I’ve had the chickpeas and tahini in my pantry for weeks.. whatever the reason, I’m glad I finally did. This was my first time making bread in a while, so I’m not sure that the yeast was so great, since my pitas didn’t rise […]
Test Kitchen Preview!
Now that I’m almost done working part-time, I’ve been able to focus a lot more on the cupcakes. I did a round of testing yesterday that continued into today.. totaling around 7 or 8 variations. This is one of the little test boxes heading out for tasting! When I get some feedback (and taste some […]
Pizza Party: Roasted Garlic and Spinach White Pizza
If you’ve never done it, now’s the time to make some homemade pizza. I’m talking about today, people. It’s insanely easy! Its especially easy if you get frozen or refrigerated pizza dough- then you can make a pizza anytime and avoid the super-greasy take-out variety. Pizza, by nature, is a versatile meal, and you can […]
Cheesy Goodness: Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower
(Oh, how I long for spring. Then i can take some quality dinner pictures again!) While browsing Kristi’s blog, I remembered that I wanted to try Real Simple’s recipe for Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower. Now, normally, I wouldn’t dare try a mac&cheese recipe.. I sort of have this complex, since my grandmother’s recipe is […]
