Cupcakes Gallore!

I have been on a huge cupcake kick.  Trying out recipes for Italian meringue buttercream and standard buttercream.  Who knew there were so many recipes out there!!  I finally found the perfect chocolate cupcake recipe and am working on the perfect vanilla cupcake now. 
There are new ingredients that I have discovered in my search so will be testing those out as well.  Here is a picture of one of my latest baking ventures.  Our St. Patrick's Day cupcakes.

There is a new shop I have ordered from and love their products thus far!  Wonderful baking supplies! The Vanilla Food Company

They are located in Canada and carry a great selection of ingredients for bakers.  I use the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract from Nielsen Massey and  Extra Brute Cocoa Powder from Cocao Barry, the cocoa has a rich chocolate flavor and is the best cocoa I have found.  When baking I think it is best to splurge on quality ingredients to help ensure your recipes turn out amazing and have great flavor.
