Cupcakes

I love the endless flavor combinations of homemade cupcakes. Cupcakes are one of my favorite desserts to make, whether I’m baking them for a birthday party, for the holidays, or because it’s Monday (nothing beats those Monday blues like a cupcake!).

If you’re a fan of the classics, why not start with these irresistible Red Velvet Cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting? And for a celebration, nothing beats these Classic Yellow Cupcakes topped with sprinkles.

Feeling adventurous? Try my Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes. They’re supremely soft, moist, and easy to make from scratch.
