This month’s category is: Cupcakes!
Here’s how it works: Simply, leave a comment below with a link to one of your cupcake recipe’s that you have chosen to enter into the bake-off. The recipes entered will be judged on simplicity (prep time, active time, ingredients, etc…) and the photo of the finished product, itself. The recipe will NOT be based on the quality of the photo. (1) winner will be chosen, but all will be recognized. The winning cupcake recipe will be posted in its entirety, photos, links and all, and baker will be notified and will receive a prize hand-picked by your’s truly. All bloggers that submit a recipe will be acknowledged in the winner’s post with a link to their recipe entered, minus the photos and the prize.
The beauty of this bake-off is that it’s ”use what you’ve got”. I realize that people live busy lives and might not have the time to bake a new recipe from scratch for a bake-off, so you can use one of your old posts to enter (or a brand new one if you feel up to it and have the time).
To enter: Leave a comment below with a link to one of your posted in the past (or present). The cupcake recipe MUST be your own and not a re-blog.
The contest will run for 2 weeks. Again, the recipes will be judged on the simplicity of the recipe and the photo of the finished product supplied, NOT the quality of the photo, itself.
Be sure to have fun with this, you have nothing to lose, just acknowledgment to gain!
Happy Baking!

What a great idea.
Here is my recipe for ‘Custard cupcakes. It’s one I made up from ideas from other blogs and recipe books; and that is why I chose it.

I did a post with two cupcake recipes a couple months back. I’d like to enter the Cappuccino Cupcakes – oh dear lord, delicious! https://graduallyginger.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/cupcakes-two-ways/ My employees STILL beg for them.
What a brilliant idea – have spent ages looking through everyone’s posts and now am craving sugar! My entry is for Rose cupcakes. http://bakingforbears.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/whats-in-a-name-that-which-we-call-a-rose-by-any-other-name-would-smell-as-sweet-9-2/
Ooh fun! I was hoping cupcakes would be the next category! My entry is for Chocolate Strawberry Cupcakes, or Half & Half Cupcakes. This recipe is so simple because you just combine 2 different types of cupcakes (1 half can be a brownie mix as well) and layer one on top of the other. Quick and easy and if you have box mixes on hand it’s even simpler! Endless possibilities!

Hey…I’ve just seen your blog. This is a great way to find bloggers with sinilar interests. I chose this Zucchini Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffin because I am happy to add vegetables to my families food where ever I can and because I am a chocolate adict. They are also easy to make, soft and tasty.
