Bacon, egg and maple buttermilk pancake cupcakes! Plus recipe link.

Whoa! Bacon, egg and pancake cupcakes! They're by blogger The YouFinder (via Neatorama).

Donut-topped maple bacon cupcake!

Yes, that's a mini donut on top of this superstar cupcake! Officially, it's a "Jersey peach cupcake topped with maple vanilla bean buttercream and a maple-glazed donut sprinkled with Applegate Farm bacon" and it's by blogger The Cupcaketologist, part of an ultimate breakfast cupcake series (!!), where you can find out more (via Flickr).

These cupcakes are by Conectioneiress Cupcakes & Sweets in Zionsville, Indiana, via their Facebook page. They are, I believe, about to open a cupcake bakery and are selling at local markets and doing custom cupcakes and cakes in the meantime. These were Friday's flavors, to give you an idea:

cupcake flavors today are coffee & cream, cookie dough, choc/choc, choc/van, malted vanilla caramel, apple cinnamon churro, van/van, van/choc, strawberry lemonade, apricot almond, cotton candy, & red velvet.

Video: How to make raw vegan cupcakes with Shannonmarie from Rawdorable and her kids!

I've been a fan of the raw food blog Rawdorable and their beautiful cupcakes for a while, and now I've discovered blogger Shannonmarie has videos! Here she has her son filming and her daughter "helping" and walks you step by step through making a raw vegan cupcake inspired by TV. I'm not gonna lie: hearing her talk to her kids while also dishing out cupcake instructions is my favorite part of this video! I also like that she doesn't speed through it, she tells you why she's using each ingredient and how it works. Yes, this is a long video, but I'd rather watch a longer video that walks you through each step than one that leaves things to the imagination. I also like that these are unusual (liquid aminos! paprika! cayenne!). Plus it's funny ("you don't even know what bacon is, you think it's a funny word"). And Happy Anniversary to Shannonmarie and her husband and good job to her son on being a videographer.



If you're not the video type, you can get not just one but two cupcake recipes over at Rawdorable, photos below. They're a strawberry lemonade cupcake and a Maple Fakin' cupcake.

These s'mores cupcakes look ridiculously good, don't they?

Take me to Alabama right now! That's what I'm thinking when I look at these cupcakes by Dreamcakes Bakery in Homewood, Alabama, via their Facebook page. You can also find them @dreamcakesbham on Twitter, and on Tumblr.


Seriously, how good do these look? I want one! "chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream with a graham cracker, toasted marshmallow and chocolate ganache drizzle."

Meatloaf, chicken/waffle/bacon, vegetable and macaroni and cheese cupcakes were on the menu at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek!

These savory cupcakes were actually on the menu at Cupcake Lovers Weekend July 9 (I didn't see it in time or I'd have posted it) at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek last weekend! Wow wow wow...if they do it again I totally want to go. Descriptions via Bonnet Creek Blog.


This fun creation (above) is made of ground beef and pork, topped with a cream potato frosting, English peas and a roasted tomato BBQ sauce.


This is a vanilla waffle “cupcake” base, topped with a creamy maple bacon frosting and popcorn fried chicken.


This amazing treat is made from roasted asparagus, mushrooms, tomato and spinach, all baked in an egg custard and topped with tomato cream.


This take on traditional mac and cheese starts with macaroni baked in a velvety creamy cheese sauce and piped with a mascarpone cheese and chive frosting.
