Cuppy's Cupcakes!

When I grow up, I'm going to be an orthapedic doctor, be the first girl to play on the Boston Celtics, but the one I'm most excited about...own a cupcake shop called...Cuppy's!!! I know it sounds crazy just because of the name, but it'll be awesome!!! I've already decided the sign! There's going to be a light blue circles with yellow 50's/70's lettering spelling out CUPPY'S with hot or light pink dots on it (I haven't decided which pink!) To the right on top of the sign will be an orange and red rectangular octupus. I'm going to make a paper sign and I'll try to post it on here. The theme inside the shop will be 1950's kitchen and dining room/underwater. I also have two original cupcakes for my shop, chocolate trifle cupcake and the Dr. Seuss cupcake! :)

Chocolate Trifle Cupcake

Insperation: On special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas (or if someone asks for it on their birthday) my mom makes a chocolate trifle. All it is, is a layer of crumbled chocolate cake, then pudding, then whipped cream, then crushed Heath bars, then it's repeated again. We put it in a glass bowl that kinda looks like a cupcake cup.

Ingredients:

-1 package (18 1/4 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix

-1 package instant chocolate pudding mix

-Decaf strong coffee (optional)

-Whipped cream (get the kind with the cool squirty thing at the end of the metal bottle!)

-Heath bars

*If using packaged cake mix, get the ingredients needed)

Instructions:

-Spray pan with non-stick cooking spray.

-Mix cake as package directions (or as instructions directed)

-Scoop the cake mix into the pan.

-Bake as directed or until a toothpick comes out clean.

-While cakes are baking make the instant pudding as directed and chop Heath bars.

-Cool on a wire pan before taking cakes out.

-Once the cakes are taken out put on a layer of pudding as big as wanted.

-Squirt a small (or medium) sized dot of whipped cream and top with Heath bars.

-Enjoy! :)

Dr. Seuss Cupcake

Insperation: Well, I have a book and one chapter's title is "Dr. Seuss Cupcake"...it didn't have a recipe or anything like that. I just got a good idea from that title.

*I haven't tested this out, and I don't know the measurements or anything like that. So, i'm just going with what I think sounds good...you guys can be my guinea pigs! :D

Ingredients:

-Red velvet cake mix (or your own cake mix)

-Yellow vanilla cake mix (or your own cake mix)

-White buttercream

-Blueberries

-Blue, yellow, and red food coloring

-Rice paper

Instructions:

-Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray

-Mix both of the cake mixes as directed.

-Pour both of the cake mixes into a large bowl. Whisk them together until there's a swirly pattern.

-Scoop the mix into the pan.

-Bake as directed or until a toothpick comes out clean.

-While cakes are baking, cut the rice paper into strips about 1 cm. wide and 2 in. long.

-Pour the red, blue, and yellow food coloring into three seperate bowls, and dip the strips into the colors, but don't mix two colors unless you make the strips purple or green.

-Let rice paper dry.

-Mix the buttercream with crushed blueberries. If the icing isn't blue enough, add blue foodcoloring. It's okay if buttercream is indigo-ish.

-Let the cakes cool on a wire rack before taking them out of the pan.

-Ice the cakes in a pattern you'll like (swirl, flowers, etc.)

-Back to the rice paper. Twirl the strips, and sprinkle them onto the cupcakes.

-Enjoy!

I can't wait 'til I get my cupcake shop!!! :D
