The book looks so amazing, so many terrific ideas for cupcakes, which our family definitely loves! I make them at least once a week, and also really enjoy making them for special occasions, and theme-decorating them. Chocolate and golden cupcakes with buttercream icing are my traditonal flavors, everyone likes those. Martha's flavors look amazing - spice, chai, stout, hummingbird...Too many to list. The book will be great to win! Thanks, Michele

My mom made two kinds of cupcakes that I just loved as a kid (and still do to this day)
my favorite was when she put creamy frosting in the middle and then frosted the top and it was a huge surprise to find the filling! Yummy...
And then for my birthday one year she made a "cupcake" in an icecream cone.... not sure if that is really a cupcake... but it was decorated really cute and tasted really good too!
Love your blog, i have tried many recipes from here as well as checking out the book about grilling pizza.... that was a hit with the family!

Martha does a GREAT grapefruit curd, btw. My favorite cupcake is a ricotta cheese based orange marmalade cupcake with marmalade cream cheese frosting that I make for my Mom. Both she and my step-daughter love them! Thanks for the blog - you rock!

My all time favorite cupcakes are the ones made in ice cream cones! LOL! Those were the cat's meow when someone brought them to school for their birthday. Didn't matter what flavor they were...just that they were in the cones. :)

My sister-in-law makes wonderfully cute cupcakes. She lives several states away from me, so I haven't had the privelage of tasting them, but they are my favorite because they're so darned cute! (Locally she's known as "Rudibakers"!)

My favorite is the Crave-a-licious cupcake which translated is a blue vanilla buttercream icing on top of a chocolate cupcake.
Posted by: Sandi Andersen | November 06, 2009 at 12:03 AM
I thought I'd share my secret formula for making killer cupcake frosting: I take 1/2 mascarpone cheese, 1/2 heavy whipping cream, and beat those two items together with a mixer. I then add some Amaretto, vanilla extract, or Frangelico, along with a tablespoon of sugar, and continue mixing until everything is smooth and fluffy. People can't stop raving about the frosting I make!
