Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

This week's adventure was the Snickerdoodle cupcake.  We switched it up a tad, and baked at Tee's house with an extra helper!  We solicited the help of our friend Joey, who is also on the journey to a more positive outlook on life, so we let her in on the cupcake cure.

The recipe was easy, and the batter tasted amazing, so we knew the cupcakes were going to be good!  The seven minute frosting on the other hand, wasn't anything to write home about.  We decided that next time we would add cinnamon to the frosting, not just sprinkle it on top, and look for a higher quality spice!  You really couldn't pair the cupcake with a heavier frosting like a buttercream because it would take away from the quality of the cupcake.  The frosting can not stand alone, but on top of the cupcake was a perfect match, you needed the airy consistency of the seven-minute frosting to top off the cookie like cupcake, overall, a very satisfying treat!!  Next up, Martha's Meyer Lemon Cupcakes!  Thanks Steve for letting us know they were in season!!

As always, if a cure to what ails you ends up in your hands, take a bite, and blog us in the morning!

Until next time,

  1. So were they cinnamon-y and have the same flavor as a snicker doodle? I am just so curious what the inside looks like.
    sounds like a fun cupcake.
