on to baking...a few weeks ago, i signed up to take refreshments to a class i had on saturday and to church today. so i spent a chunk of this weekend baking. but it's something i enjoy, so i was a happy camper...or i guess i should say, happy baker :)
for saturday's class i took my good ol' butterscotch w/ vanilla and sea salt. i've decided this is one of the easiest, fastest, and favorite cupcakes to bake. i'm designating it my "house-cupcake" (like a restaurant's house dressing.)
for today i did mini's for church since it was for more people. i wanted to do pumpkin so i went on an online hunt for an easy pumpkin recipe. i found out that you can use yellow cake mix and substitute the water with pumpkin pie filling and come up with a fabulously moist pumpkin cupcake. usually pumpkin is paired with cream cheese frosting, but i didn't have cream cheese and didn't really want to go back to the market so i decided on a toasted marshmallow topping. I used egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and vanilla to whip up the marshmallow and then broiled it to toast. the toasted tops of my pumpkin mini's added the warm homey feeling of fall!

i also ended up with a little extra marshmallow topping so i used it for my left over butterscotch cupcakes that didn't get frosted because i ran out of vanilla buttercream. and that's how my butterscotch with marshmallow was born. :)
