Since we kicked off the Halloween season yesterday with a beWITCHing cupcake liner craft, I thought we’d continue on with the cupcake love. Cupcakes are the perfect treat for children’s Halloween parties because they are pre-portioned and easy to serve {and clean up}! Little ghosts and goblins love cupcakes, along with their parents.

And after today’s post, you’ll have a super easy way to create …

Our cupcake contributor, Lauren of Crave. Indulge. Satisfy, is baking up something sweet today…

I must admit, I was a little stumped with a cupcake recipe for the month of September! It’s the time of year where summer is coming to a close so you are no longer in the mood for fresh and fruity recipes, but it’s not quite time to whip out the pumpkin and start fall baking either. So this month, with the help of some feedback from my Facebook fans, I hope I’ve come up with a recipe that you all will enjoy! So go grab some caramels, chocolate …

Most couples choose to find out ahead of time and many plan fun ways to share their big news with friends and family! I’m loving all of the creative gender reveal ideas and parties we’ve been seeing lately and this one absolutely takes the cake! Literally! …

Our cupcake contributor, Lauren of Crave. Indulge. Satisfy, is back with a bright and summery recipe to start off the week…
When I think of summer, bright yellow lemons and sipping on a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade come to mind. I am a huge fan of lemons, and really all things sour. As a kid I can remember spending summer days at our local pool and every afternoon I would visit the concession stand to order a frozen lemonade and a box of lemonheads to satisfy my sour cravings. Still to this day I have those same cravings and welcome all things …
