Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes (vegan)

Phew. These cupcakes took forever to make. But they are worth every single second put into them. I never really messed around with trying to bake cinnamon rolls because it seemed so hard to do let alone looking at one of those fucking buns gives me the worst toothache ever. But I said what the hell I got time its Sunday I invited my mom over for dinner I might as well make an impression. So I made these. They had to rise two times before going into the oven. Finish product? Absolutely awesome and delicious. Worth it. While they baked I could smell them up in my room. It reminded me of the fair which happens to be in town as I type, I won't be attending this year just like last year. Oh well, it happens. My mom took a few home to show off to her coworkers at work the next day. :) Proud of myself.

History of the Cupcake

The cupcake evolved in the United States in the 19th century, and it was revolutionary because of the amount of time it saved in the kitchen. There was a shift from weighing out ingredients when baking to measuring out ingredients. According to the Food Timeline Web, food historians have yet to pinpoint exactly where the name of the cupcake originated. There are two theories: one, the cakes were originally cooked in cups and two, the ingredients used to make the cupcakes were measured out by the cup.
In the beginning, cupcakes were sometimes called "number" cakes, because they were easy to remember by the measurements of ingredients it took to create them: One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, four eggs, one cup of milk, and one spoonful of soda. Clearly, cupcakes today have expanded to a wide variety of ingredients, measurements, shapes, and decorations - but this was one of the first recipes for making what we know today as cupcakes.
Cupcakes were convenient because they cooked much quicker than larger cakes. When baking was down in hearth ovens, it would take a long time to bake a cake, and the final product would often be burned. Muffin tins, also called gem pans, were popular around the turn of the 20th century, so people started created cupcakes in tins.
Since their creation, cupcakes have become a pop culture trend in the culinary world. They have spawned dozens of bakeries devoted entirely to them. While chocolate and vanilla remain classic favorites, fancy flavors such as raspberry meringue and espresso fudge can be found on menus.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Rule they needed another blog. I shouldn't be doing this because I have an exam tomorrow morning. I should really be studying. Well, okay I won't take credit for any of this, it seems similar to what I was going to write about plus I really should just go ahead and study. :[
so here you go read and awe:
"Red velvet cake also known as the $100 dollar cake, $200 dollar cake, or Waldorph Astoria Cake is only a legend as is the Nieman Marcus cookies and all are examples of a legend that pits institutions against a consumer who feels he/she has been unfairly charged.The recipe is a grass roots recipe not an institutional one. Most all call for cake flour and buttermilk, baking soda and vinegar for the leaving process. The redness of the cake comes from red food color despite the chemical reaction of baking soda, vinegar , buttermilk and cocoa which cause a reddish brown color, not red in the cake. This cake is moist and red with a velvety texture and the flavor nondistinctive as is most red velvet cakes. Red Velvet cake is also cultural as recipes differ in community cookbooks accross America even as to the type of frosting for the cake. The moistest cake is one made with oil and cake flour.The amount of food color is up to you.Start with 2 teaspoons as a base."

Pineapple Right Side Up Cupcakes (vegan)

So this is a fun Summer time cupcake. Full of all that goodness and deliciousness. First time I made these I was a little scared of how they might turn out. I mean I never used tapioca flour in my life. and I was having friends over for poker/vegan potluck night and what if it came out horrible and it wasn't a good cupcake? but it was. This cupcake was awesome. Just think spice cake w/ pineapple. I don't remember the last time I had upside down cake so I forgot how in all it taste. So if that is how its suppose to taste then I rule. But these were a hit. I wish I had taken a better picture. A picture alone of just the pineapple right side up cupcake. but I didn't and in the end we all suffer not really. you get to see my awesome cupcake holder. This picture doesn't do much justice to how awesome the 'gooey' topping was or how moist the cake looked. The cherry on top was awesome. I think all the vegans were scared I used gelatin but I assured them I didn't.
