I haven't had anything yet, so how could I have some more?

This cupcake pays hommage to a baseball classic. 

S'mores are the best part of a bonfire but when you don't have the resources for a bonfire, what better way to recreate the tasty treat as a cupcake that you can bring anywhere? And how about an upgrade? Instead of Hershey chocolate bars, try Nutella. 

Just use your favorite cake recipe and in the center of each cupcake put a couple mini marshmallows and a spoonful of Nutella before baking.

As for the graham crackers? Crumble up a bunch and toss them into the frosting as it's mixing and it provides the perfect sweet cinnamon crunch. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top and voila! Portable, anywhere s'mores.

A spin on hot chocolate

Usually it has to be closer to winter for hot chocolate to be on my mind, but hot chocolate in cake form is a different story. And not just any hot chocolate; tuxedo hot chocolate. I'm not a big fan of real rich and dark chocolate so I found a happy medium by adding white chocolate chips to the batter along with mini marshmallows.

Too sweet? No way. This chocolate cake is very different from any other chocolate cake and honestly, with it's smooth and soft texture it does taste like a good cup of hot chocolate. The marshmallows and the white chocolate collaborate nicely especially with the light and fluffy marshmallow frosting. 

Speaking of really good tuxedos, ready for some new James Bond this weekend? Grab a cupcake and take a look back at Casino Royale before Skyfall hits the theaters: Just Hit Play Also take a look at the not-as-good Qauntum of Solace

For all of this fun stuff!!

Yup, I've got plenty of ideas coming my way and I can't wait!! Another plus, the South Side knows what's up. I was still able to get some pumpkin spice marshmallows for a pretty crazy awesome batch of rice krispie treats. :)

Not to mention pumpkin bars and hot chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting on the wish list. It'll be a busy baking rest of the week!
