After my niece’s Sweet 16, I started to think that it would be awesome if I could share my love of creating & baking with others. Then I thought, why not?! There are so many out there that love to enjoy the finer treats in life but don’t always have the time or energy to make them. The idea to start a home based cupcake business was born!
Some of my first flavors I made were these two, Tiramisu (center) & Strawberry Cheesecake. My husband is a HUGE coffee lover and I am a devout cheesecake fanatic. That’s what made these two simple choices. Tiramisu is a fluffy vanilla cake with a Kahlua espresso syrup, creamy mascarpone tiramisu filling and sweet Kahlua mascarpone buttercream frosting. He enjoyed it, even though he said it seemed as if the Kahlua was a bit overpowering in the syrup. I decided to scale it back some after this batch.
The Strawberry Cheesecake is an airy strawberry cupcake with a graham cracker crust base and actual cheesecake baked in the center with a vanilla cream cheese frosting. It was like having a small piece of cheesecake in my hand!!!
