Apple cupcakes with cinnamon frosting and caramel
Written by Jess on Tuesday, 3 of June , 2008 at 1:46 am
Only a few days left until school starts again for the summer session so squeezing in as much time wasting activities as possible. Made these cupcakes from scratch, which meant a few things had to be fiddled with. Very yummy, except the butter had a funny taste from absorbing all the refrigerator smells and sort of showed through in the frosting. Recipe is below, as requested from someone who drools over all the pictures of baked goods on my Flickr and wants to copy.

SCORE.
My baking abilities are rather limited, but I made these amazing carrot muffins with cream cheese frosting. And everyone liked them, and no one has died yet, so I’m impressed with myself.
Anyway, thanks for the recipe, since I’m probably the only one that completely lusts after your baked goods
Cheers!
