Today, while I was working on my entry for this month’s You Want Pies with That?, I decided to throw together another little creation- Mini Blueberry Peach Pie and Blueberry Peach Crumble. I was feeling summery, and these little treats really did the trick! To make the pie, I used up some leftover tart dough […]

This picture was taken in motion- we were wayyyy too excited to eat this. I think most of us would agree that glazes are delicious. Who can argue with adding a little sugar to a savory item? But people, this glaze is outstanding. We used it on some salmon fillets – first I sauteed them […]

This week’s TWD is filled with controversy- who knew so many people disliked eggy custards? It’s a phenomenon I’ve yet to understand, because I enjoyed this week’s TWD. The chosen recipe was Lemon Cup Custard, and the chooser was Miss Bridget from The Way the Cookie Crumbles. I say, kudos, Bridget, for trying something a […]

As you know, I love to cook and entertain for people. Yesterday, Tammi and I threw a baby shower for our lovely friend Julie, who is expecting a baby boy (Hank!). Julie had already had two big baby showers, so we decided to do something a little different from basic blue and do a green […]

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 […]

This week’s TWD was chosen by LyB at And then I do the Dishes. This is the infamous Chocolate Armagnac Cake that got Dorie fired for being too creative. In the spirit of Dorie’s creativity, I really messed around with this recipe.. but it’s so good! My cake should really be called a Chocolate Cherry […]

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 […]

OvenLovers, I need your help! I just entered my Cinnamon Granola Cupcake (otherwise known as The Granola Girl) into a recipe contest at the Mixing Bowl! I have the chance to be featured in Mixing Bowl magazine and win $200! Now you know a girl needs some cash! 🙂 Please help by voting for me […]

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 […]

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 […]
