project #8: peanut butter cupcakes
I made these cupcakes for a friend over Thanksgiving break. Fabulous recipe. The frosting—peanut butter, butter, and vanilla = my new favorite smell.

Q
hi me again, i made the banana cupcakes and they were delicious, i also added some crushed walnuts (dad's request) but i dont think it made much difference. anyway thanks for the recipe, and also im struggling with the frosting. it turns out okay when i mix it, but once i pipe and leave it for about 20 seconds it starts to melt and looks like the butter is separating. so any tips ?
A
here’s my suggestion: make sure the butter is at room temperature when you start—but not too soft. often times if the frosting looks too runny i’ll either add more confectioners’ sugar or i’ll stick the frosting in the fridge for a few minutes. hope that helps!
project #7: halloween pumpkin muffins
Happy Autumn! It’s that time of year and I love it! I made these delicious pumpkin muffins the other day—they were absolutely fabulous. For the frosting, the recipe called for orange and black fondant. Fondant isn’t my favorite thing ever, so I improvised and came up with my own frosting. I used 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, and maybe a teaspoon or two of maple flavoring. So delicious if I do say so myself!
