IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)

I was just really very hungry (the site you are reading right now) is proud to host the lucky 13th edition of Is My Blog Burning, the mother (father?) of blogging food events originated by Alberto of Il Forno. The theme for this month is: My Little Cupcake (or muffin).
I was originally going to do a chocolate theme, but cupcakes have been on my brain recently. Perhaps it's because Easter is close, and I have visions of little "fairy cakes", as they are called in England, with white icing and pale pink buttercream flowers. Or maybe I am just a food fashion victim caught up in the trendiness of cupcakes. In any case, cupcakes it is. And since I sort of regard a muffin (the American style muffin, not the English kind) as sort of a nude cupcake, they are included here too.
Should you choose to participate, the only requirements as follows:
- Your creation should be approximately shaped like the cupcake-silhouette pictured in the logo for this event (above).
- Please post a picture if possible, and the recipe if you made it yourself.
- It can be sweet, or savory. (A savory 'cupcake' with a matching 'icing'? hmm...)
- Pictures of particularly attractive cupcakes made by someone other than yourself are accepted, as long as it is accompanied by a story relating said cupcake(s) to yourself.
The deadline for this edition of IMBB is Thursday, March 24th. This will give me a day to compile and report the results, so that we may rush out to gather the ingredients for our favorites in time for Easter.
As usual, please email me the link to your entry (or your whole entry if you don't have a blog) or just do a trackback ping to this post.
Let's make cupcakes!

IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)

Yay! I actually found out about IMBB’s category before it closed this time! I can’t wait. You’ll have my entry in a week or so.
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
I’ve never participated in an IMBB before, but I’ve always wanted to. I’ve also been meaning to try out some cupcake recipes, so I’m definitely participating this time!
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
I’m in! Thanks for the idea. I recently made my favorite red velvet cupcakes (www.lovescool.com/archives/2005/02/14/valentine2005/), so I’ll have to think of something new to try for this event. I can’t wait to see the entries.
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
so are fairy cakes allowed too?
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
I think that fairy cakes are the same as the American interpretation of what a cupcake is…so yes they are allowed :)
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
Hmm, this IMBB should be interesting. Cupcakes aren’t the norm in Singapore so I wonder how my family and friends would take it. But anyhow, I’m sooo looking forward to it!
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
As long as we don’t have to make them out of “taboo” ingredients, I’m in! Actually for the Cake Walk IMBB I did make cupcakes. Should be fun to revisit. Nice one :)

Hi Maki,
I’ll be so happy to participate. Thanks for hosting!
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
Hey, I am glad I checked this out. I have been wondering for a while what IMBB stood for … yes, I am sort of new to this blogging thing and a bit dense (good for some dishes, but not for others). Anyway, I will make oodles of cupcakes this months on the occasion of my sweeties’ 4th birthday. There will be some messy, smudgy, childfriendly cupcakes coming your way.
IMBB 13: My Little Cupcake (or muffin)
Love the theme for this IMBB, and will be tempted by many of the recipes here. Someday I will contribute to IMBB! and maybe even start a blog.
I think I missed the deadline this time… but here’s the recipe for Black Bottom cupcakes I made last month, from David Lebovitz’s Great Book of Chocolate (also posted on Leite’s Culinaria, with photo):

Yum Yum Yum! I can’t wait. I adore cupcakes. I’m warning you now that I may not be able to control my cupcake urges once I start and may end up with more than one sort. Is that okay?

I don’t think I’ve ever actually made a cupcake - I’ve made loads and loads of muffins, but not a decent cupcake! Shame on me! Now I have the chance to rectify that! Great theme Maki!
