A little preview...

I'm making

Orange Zest Cupcakes with Sugar roasted Hazelnuts 

The batter tastes like sugary hazelnut dream orangeness

and my kitchen smells dreamingly good :)

Icecream Cone Cupcake!

 This idea, and not to mention the look at the result made my inner Cupcake heart very happy!

 Not to mention how simple it is!

This is what you need:

Cupcakes (any kind!)

Buttercream (any flavor!) 

Icecream cones
Spatula - if you don't have one, 
use a butterknife with a smooth edge

Frost your Cupcakes with a spatula, make a little swirl

and simply press the cone into the side of the Cupcake

FUN! :)

The process & the result

2 cups brown sugar

3/4 cups sourcream

 ...and add the mixture to the beermix

 it smells goooood

 Sift in the flour and bakingpowder

 Mix it all

 And get ready to bake for 

25 minutes 

at 350F (180C)

 Beautiful

Let cool, and frost!

I used a creamy, tasty 

Carmel Creamcheese whipped frosting.

It smells like beer

I'm thinking, probably because I just made these 

Guinness Cupcakes! 

First step is to melt the beer down with the butter...

smells kindof funky in the beginning, but after a little while it actually smells like a good Sunday 

 The Cupcakes look beautiful

Recipe and more pics later on, gotta go get the second batch out of the oven!
