The world's first Jerk Cupcake

I did it! Finally! I have been playing with the idea of creating a Jerk seasoned cupcake since I went to help a friend with her Jerk Chicken documentary. For too obvious reason I did not want to use a chutney or other sweet ingredient that the wonderful Walkerswood company makes available. I wanted the challenge of using the orginal Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning.

So, while baking the daily cupcake flavors in our cupcake kitchen I glanced at the Jerk sauce bottle and it hit me!! Chocolate and fruity.

The cupcake: chocolate with jerk seasoning mixed inside.
The filling: I cut up some green apples, sprinkled coconut flakes, honey and then mixed in mango jam and put it to bake.


While that all baked I made some Mango buttercream and a yellow fondant flower.
Behold the pics:

The Jerk is the PERFECT spicy and sweet cupcake. I don't personally like spicy foods but I really enjoyed every bite. I can't wait for you all to try it.

Hot Mexican Cupcake (revamp)


Once upon a time, there was a cupcake called "The hot mexican." It was a delicious vanilla cake, topped with spicy buttercream and sprinkled with spicy mexican hot chocolate powder. As a matter of fact I have a picture here.



 It was a really great cupcake! And then...

The store where I bought my hot chocolate powder closed down. I can't express my sadness.

Almost a year later I FINALLY recreated the cupcake and I have to tell you...it's better than the original. And I'm an original addict. I love original movies, (remakes are so hard to redo without it being cheesy.) I love orginal Twinkies...you know, the twinkies they made almost twenty years ago, not the twinkies they sell now.

Anyhoo,

Original lover extraodinare over here LOOOOVES the NEW HOT MEXICAN.

Here it is...ready?





Tadaaaa!!

It's a chocolate cake, spicy vanilla buttercream topped with freshly made spicy streusel topping! Yummy! You can purchase this beauty online as a cupcake in a jar or follow us on facebook and you will be the first to know when it pops up as a cupcake of the day!

You can also special order it. (Minimum 6 regular cupcakes.) Sorry this cupcake is not available in minis.

Candied Apples Cupcake Jubilee Style


We all have those wonderful childhood memories that linger. Mine cosist of weekends at the beach eating Nathan's hot dogs and stopping by Williams candy shop on Surf Avenue. Now that I live in Orlando Florida the nearest beach is 45 minutes away, Nathan's hot dogs are near the airport (20 minutes) and candied apples are hard to find.

I can't replicate a Natahan's hot dog even if I boguht a frozen pack from the store.  So, I decided to make some candied apples instead.

Here's what I made.




Coconut drizzled with chocolate

And................



Butterfinger!! Apples taste so much better with peanut butter!!

Come and get them!!

Stop in at Cupcake Jubilee today to get your candied apples!
