When you’re on a cut (diet-wise), most of your fats get taken away. If you’re like me and you like dessert, it SUCKS. But my friend showed me this recipe and I just can’t get enough! The original recipe can be found on The Macro Experiment. We like to top ours with Light Kool Whip…

Dark Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting
I made this cupcake as a thank you to a very good friend (who then later become the love of my life) for saving my servers. I’m a huge fan of cupcakes with booze and this one used Guinness excellently! You could really taste the richness of the stout. For the life of me, I…
Maple Bacon Cupcakes
Everything’s better with bacon, right?! These really proved that it is! There’s even bacon in the batter, and a piece of brown-sugar candied bacon on top. Yum! The cupcakes are from Bacon Today and the candied bacon is courtesy of Alex Guarnaschelli. Maple Bacon Cupcakes Ingredients 4 1/2 tablespoons butter, room temperature 1/2 tablespoon bacon drippings (left in…
Pink Champagne Cupcakes
I made these for my birthday one year and they quickly become a favorite. The frosting has been described as light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream. And, well, they’re…PINK! How can you go wrong? 😉 The recipe isn’t mind originally but I can’t find the original, only others who have done the same as…
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
If you like chocolate and peanut butter, these will rock your socks! The cupcakes are courtesy of Ina Garten and they really are amazing. Paired with a silky peanut butter frosting, it was hard to stop at one! Ingredients Cupcakes 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Pernigotti 1 teaspoon baking powder…
Spiced Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Absolutely loved these cupcakes. I love anything with fall spices and these give off a warm and rich scent as they bake. And the boiled cider is just to die for! Next time, I think I’ll use it as an additional garnish by drizzling a little over the top of the frosting. Recipe is from Tracey’s…
Devil Cupcakes
I found the idea for these on Facebook and made them a couple of years ago for my fiancee as a birthday present. They are sinfully rich. We took the leftovers to work (you really can’t have too many of them and you kinda need a tall glass of milk to wash them down with!)…
Chocolate Pumpkin Cake
While my cake came out looking not so hot thanks to not enough orange gel AND the fact that I only had 10-inch cake pans at the time (instead of the 8-inch that was listed in the recipe), it still tasted absolutely scrumptious. Recipe from the Little Epicurian. Recipe adapted from Country Living Makes 2- 8…
Lace Cookies (Havreflarn)

Almond Flour Pumpkin Spice Muffins
These little delights were absolutely amazing considering they contained no wheat flour and were sweetened by Splenda and no sugar added apple sauce. I will say the sugar free frosting was a good addition. They were good without it, but great with. Since we do low carb a lot, it’s nice to have this recipe…
