Mmmm... cupcakes.

So, I've been craving these cupcakes for WEEKS now. The first time I had them was at my friend Genevra's house. I'd been pretty sure that she was a Domestic Goddess before I had these babies... after my first bite (of cupcake # 1 of 5 consecutive cupcakes that were eaten over the sink, so as not to spill any crumbs in my gluttonous rampage) I was positive that her mad cooking/baking skills were of divine origin.

Seriously, these are SO FREAKIN GOOD! And, they were easy! The bad news is that now I'm fantasizing up ingredients that I can switch out with the peanut butter so I can make other flavor combinations. So far I've got cream cheese filling inside red velvet, chocolate and lemon cupcakes. Orange flavored filling inside white and chocolate cupcakes. Coconut inside white and chocolate cake. Peppermint inside chocolate, and chocolate inside yellow cake. Truly, I am a cupcake baking monster right now. And I may need some guinea pigs, so if any of you have allergies that I need to know about... 'fess up. Otherwise I could kill you if/when I drop off a plate of goopy goodness on your doorstep (it's either share or gain 20 lbs, and frankly, my budget is taken up with cupcake ingredients these days... I can't afford any new (bigger) clothes, so I guess I'll be sharing).

Those look great! Yummy! I'm thinking you should just quit your day job and open up a bakery. Holy cow those combinations sound really good, especially the lemon and chocolate combo.

You are too kind to call me a Domestic Goddess. Though I am pretty sure that my baked goods play a huge part in the reason some of the guys I date keep coming around. :)

If you like peppermint patties and brownies, I have a great recipe that mix the two together with fabulous results.

SHARE, please! I am so very passionate about cupcakes! Plus, I need to have something delicious to eat while I'm watching Season 1 of LOST that you so sweetly lended to me. Upon it's return, I think I might have to bring you a Sprinkles cupcake, or some A1 sauce. Take your pick! (:

I will be anxiously awaiting a knock at the door... and you holding cupcakes standing on the other side. I would love for you to try out the red velvet ones on us because I can't find any Red Velvet Twinkies. To tell the truth, I would love any cupcakes I don't have to make.
