]]> White Cupcakes 005 edit

Welcome to Kristans of Confessions of a Cookbook Queens {virtual} baby shower!

I decided on white on white cupcakes, cause I’m boring and predictable.

No, truthfully, I like clean and simple. Soo, white on white is what I wanted.

White Cupcakes 004

Cute huh?

These cupcakes would be perfect for just about any ocassion.

Think white wedding cupcakes, white baby shower cupcakes, white bridal shower cupcakes.

White Cupcakes 003

You can dress them up as I did with simple chocolate letters.

“L” is for Kristans little ones name “Lucy”. Love that name.

For the chocolate letters, all you do is line a baking sheet with parchment paper, melt white chocolate in a bowl. Put into a zip lock baggies, snip the corner and pipe your desired letter onto the parchment paper. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes and the letters will come right off. I also used a drop of pink frosting for my pink letters and hearts.

Chocolate Letters

And the frosting is just about the easiest you can come by…
Pudding mix, milk, cool whip and meringue powder.
I love it because it is not toooo sweet.

Pudding Frosting

(The photo above was just for 1/2 of the recipe written below,for enough frosting to frost the cupcakes, follow the recipe as written)

Another thing I love about this recipe is that it starts with a White Cake Mix that you doctor up nice and good.

These cupcakes are PERFECTLY moist, flavorful(in a non boxed mix way) and rise wonderfully.

Dare I say these are the best white cupcakes I have ever tasted? YUP.

]]> Maple Cinnamon Banana Bundt Cake 001

Four boobs.

Have I lost you?

Do you know what “Four Boobs” is?

I dunno, maybe I made it up.

“Four Boobs” is an actual medical condition when a womans boobs are overfilling her bra causing the boobs to spill out of the top of her bra.

This condition cause the unsightly appearance of boobs sitting on-top of boobs under her shirt.

It’s quite tacky.

There is a cure for this.

Get a correctly fitting bra!

I swear it works.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement.

Bundt Cakes remind me of boobs.

Anyways…..

This cake is good people….really good. EXPLODING with all sorts of flavors.

It starts with a cake mix, but tasted NOTHING like it.

We have cinnamon, buttermilk, maple extract, bananas……oh my.

Oh and I added a streusel filling cause I want to be your BFF.

]]> Berries and Cream Bars 001

You can still find strawberries and blueberries in the store.

I highly suggest you go…like run to the store to pick some up.

Oh and while you are there pick up some yellow cake mix too.
Berries and Cream Bars 003

I love love love desserts that are super easy and transportable. These tasty little tidbits would be perfect for your next Bunko party or book club. Or send them with your significant other to work like I did and get them out of the house so you don’t eat them all.

My friend Shelly made these scrumptious looking Strawberry and Cream bars and got my creative juices flowing.

Yum, right? I wanted something similar, but different.

So basically it all starts with a cake mix. With a side of cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, berries and pecans…don’t forget the eggs to hold everything together.

See, everything is right in the world.

  5. Pat the dough(without pecans) into the prepared pan, the layer will be thin.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.

  8. Pour mixture over the partially baked crust.
  9. Evenly distribute straberries and blueberries over mixture.
  10. Crumble topping evenly over fruit.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes
  12. Allow to cool completely.
  13. Refrigerate before cutting.
