Back to school fauxstess filled cupcakes, watermelon cupcakes and dreamsicle cupcakes

Sugarbear at the blog Bakingdom has lots more photos and the recipe (with instructions on how to make it vegan) and tells you how to get your piping perfectly aligned so you can make these fun chocolate cream-filled back to school cupcakes! You can also follow Bakingdom on Facebook , @Bakingdom on Twitter and Flickr . She writes: You can also write on the cupcakes. To make them reminiscent of the swirled design, just make sure to start the word (no matter how big or small) at the edge of the cupcake on one side and end it at the edge on the opposite side. These seem more labor intensive than they really are. They’re actually quite quick and very easy! Without chilling times, you can have them mixed, baked, filled, and frosted in about an hour or less! If you like Hostess products, these are definitely something you must try! Enjoy! And because I actually found Bakingdom while researching watermelon cupcakes, because technically it’s still summer and summer makes me think of watermelon, I’ll share these watermelon cupcakes with sweet watermelon buttercream (click for recipe): And because I couldn’t resist, her dreamsicle cupcakes (click for recipe):

Cupcake truck and New Jersey bakery CupcakeStop in The New York Times

From today’s The New York Times : Mr. Ekster, 26, who completed his law degree at the New York Law School in TriBeCa in May 2009, is not a baker. But he chose cupcakes. “When I was in school, I spent so much time traveling across town waiting in lines for dessert,” he said. “Cupcakes are such a great comfort food, but I wasn’t impressed with the offerings out there.” So he opened CupcakeStop in June 2009, renting a commercial kitchen in Brooklyn to bake cupcakes, which he sold from a truck roaming the streets of New York City. In April, he moved the bakery to an out-of-the-way spot in a shopping center in Montclair, where it opened to retail customers in July. There are now two trucks in New York, and the company also has a small counter at the Limelight Marketplace in Manhattan. Traffic, Mr. Ekster said, has been better than steady in Montclair. He attributes it to CupcakeStop’s recipes and its three bakers, trained at the French Culinary Institute. They churn out 9 to 12 flavors like chocolate caramel pretzel and Nutella crunch daily, rotating through a repertoire of around 80 varieties.

Alliance Bakery in Chicago

In Chicago’s Wicker Park, Alliance Bakery has made its home since the 1920s. Operated by Chef Peter Rios, Alliance’s selection of baked goods varies from macarons to croissants to….cupcakes! This is one of the many places to get cupcakes in Chicago, but certainly one of the most unique. The tiny bakery transports customers to a vintage-looking Eastern European cubby-hole with two large cases. The cases are packed with all kinds of desserts with a coffee bar behind them. The bakery probably looks exactly the same as it did 20 years ago, but the cupcakes are fresh daily. Pictures from Juneann via flickr

Cupcakes on the run in Chicago

It has been said, Chicago loves to chase its cupcakes , but this is getting a little out of control …cupcake trucks are chasing us. Where we work, to our homes.

That’s right, there will soon be two more cupcake trucks besides the first on the streets, Flirty Cupcakes . The more cupcake truck will soon be out on the roads and just recently, Cupcake Gallery launched. photos from Juneann via flickr

Fluffer-Oreo Birthday Boy Cupcakes by Picky Palate

Blogger Picky Palate made these Fluffer-Oreo cupcakes for her son’s birthday – he requested Oreo marshmallow cupcakes. It looks like the process was a lot of fun! Click through for the recipe. A double layer of Oreo cookie! Wonderful…I tend to lick the cream out of the center of the Oreo, then eat the cookie, but if this cupcake were before me I’d take one giant bite. Bonus baking fun: she used these teaspoons with a cupcake on them!
