I made these quite a while ago for my friend Dawn’s birthday, but never made a post. I feel now is the time, as she continues to bring them up (with great joy). They really are incredible cookies. I remember the first time I ate one; my mom had mailed […]
*Bunneh baking for fun; not for sale* Last year, I learned how to boil apple cider to make syrup, so that I could make an apple upside-down cake by demandrequest of a friend. In the process of finding out how to do that, I found a recipe for apple cider […]
Apparently Cupcake Wars is a great show that I should be watching, but I’d never heard of it until last Thursday. I brought in 2 kinds of cupcakes to work – more on that in a minute – and someone came to my desk to tell me to “stop with […]
*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* Quite a while back, a coworker (who left work to go to culinary/baking school, and keeps a neat blog about the whole thing) sent me a link to a homemade sprinkles recipe/how-to. I was intrigued, but tucked the recipe away and didn’t get around […]
*Bunneh baking for fun; not for sale* You say “maple bacon” to someone, and it’s pretty likely their eyes will light up and they might even start drooling just a teeny bit. Add “cupcakes” to that, and the look turns to a mix of bewilderment and fascination. Try it. It’s […]

*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* First off, let me come clean: I didn’t come up with this idea myself. Someone posted a picture on Facebook of someone else’s cupcakes, which led me to this site detailing a few other folks’ efforts. Well. Just because they did it first doesn’t […]
Boyfriend’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago, so we spent an evening going through my many cupcake-related cookbooks to pick his celebratory treat. It took a while, and there are now several pages in each book marked with post-it notes for future baking events (including the kids’ birthdays). He […]
This week, I have one coworker who is leaving us for a new job, and another who is celebrating a birthday. DOUBLE the excuses to bake! I found a recipe quite some time ago for Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey cupcakes (the pictures on that page are way nicer than mine – […]
*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* I haven’t baked since the last post – the Easter cupcakes. Can you believe it? Neither can I. It was very upsetting. I was living in an apartment with a small kitchen, trying to pack, most of my baking supplies in boxes in another […]
