Christmas Swirl Cupcakes

Often when my clients have family members come to town they email me to make a small amount of something special - usually cupcakes - to enjoy with their family.  That is exactly what these cupcakes are for.  A small after Christmas treat for a family who loves each other very much.  

The final cost of these cupcakes is below:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55
12 Yellow Cake Cupcakes: $.97

Foils: $1
Labor: $6

Total: $10.52

Creeper Cupcakes

My son is way too young for Minecraft, but I am well versed because my two adorable nephews are obsessed with Minecraft.  So, when a client asked for Minecraft cupcakes for her grandson's birthday I knew just who to make...Creeper.  These are chocolate cake cupcakes in camouflage liners with green and black buttercream icing.

The final cost of these cupcakes is below:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $3.83

Chocolate Cake: $1.93
Foils: $2

Labor: $12

Total: $19.76

Jelly-filled Cupcakes

My mother loves to find me new baking tools for Christmas, and this year I received the tools to make jelly-filled cupcakes!  Two of my clients love jelly-filled cakes, so as soon as I opened my present I texted both of them and asked if they wanted to be my jelly-filled cupcake guinea pigs!  Oh my gosh these looked good when I put them together!   They are made of yellow cake and raspberry jelly.  The swirled icing is white buttercream and the stared icing is cream cheese.  My clients love both types of icing, so I just had to make both.  I wonder which tasted better with the jelly-filled cupcakes? 

The final cost of these cupcakes is below:

Buttercream Icing $2.55

Creme Cheese Icing: $2.92

12 Cupcakes: $.97

Foils: $1

Jelly: $1

Labor: $9

Total: $17.44

Blueberry Pound Cake

There are a few yummy treats I make for my family that I never considered putting on my website.  One of my favorite clients loves to challenge my baking abilities, so this year when she asked for pound cake for Christmas I said, "Oh sure, I make blueberry pound cake!"  I make it every year for my husband's family for Thanksgiving and for our Christmas morning breakfast (it tastes GREAT with bacon!). 

The cost below is for two blueberry pound cakes:

Cake: $8.60

Labor: $6

Total: $14.60
