Cupcakes anyone?

Anyone who knows me knows that I enjoy baking.  (Sadly I also enjoying eating baked goods).  I really like to make cupcakes because they are easy to give away - a few here, a few there and a few for us.  I think it works really well that way.  I watched a video online on how easy it is to decorate cupcakes and I even placed a bulk order for cupcakes boxes to make it easier to gift them to people.

I've tried out a lot of recipes that I really like and a few that I'm not such a big fan of.  But here are a handful of the ones I've made.

Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting
 I gave these to all Jacob's teachers for Teacher Appreciation:
Applesauce cupcakes with brown sugar cream cheese frosting
 Made these for all Jacob's teachers for Meet the Teacher:
Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting (blackboard cupcakes)
I think my favorites so far were double chocolate pumpkin cupcakes with pumpkin spice buttercream frosting (so, so good).  Thanks to Pinterest for being able to find all these yummy new recipes (although the scale doesn't thank you).

Those apple cupcakes sound incredible and look so adorable. You need to post a link to the recipe. I'm not a big cupcake fan - I prefer richer desserts, but those sound like one I just have to try.

Ooh I want recipes too. Thanks for sharing these. I've been expanding my cake repertoire recently, away from plain box cake mixes. And where did you order your cupcake boxes from?

I'm sorry that this summer has been so tough. I hope school goes well!
