Cupcakes and cookies

Ming Thompson, a Harvard grad student with a sweet tooth, created this rad website with cupcake and cookie recipes. The recipes are all super creative, with ingredients like Guinness beer, figs, and lots of sour cream. Double thumbs up!

amynicole said...

oh wow. yum. brilliant. i'm hungry. i want.

haha, my husband and i were talking the other night at dinner how i still have this weird obsession with sweets. he was saying he went through the stage and grew out of it by 3rd grade, but for some reason i've never grown out of it and that's all i want to eat. take note, this was after he tried to hide onions in my burrito and i was being so silly about not eating it any more. our poor future children. . . haha!

almalu said...

mmmmm!they all look so yummy!here in Italy we do not usually do cupcakes and all butter creams you have in the USA but I'm a huge fan of all American sweets, such as cupcakes, pancakes and muffin!they're all so delicious!

Nik said...

Rebecca said...

So creative and beautifully presented. Will need to try a few, at least.

Diana Mieczan said...

Those are so beautifully done and I bet very tasty!
mmmm...

bigBANG studio said...

Harvard *ARCHITECTURE* grad; that's why those cupcakes are so sculptural. I mean, just LOOK at those flying buttresses of buttercream!

Seriously, the union of two unrelated fields has never been so brilliantly realized since Sean of the Dead came out and the zombie flick melded with English good manners. Good stuff.

Ciara Obscura said...

Dear god. NEED.

luxury vacation rentals miami said...

My strong will loses the battle against cupcakes like these. I guess quitting sweets is not happening.

Ro said...

Oh, peanut butter and choco!!!

JoJo said...

I can't wait to start baking....but what WEIGHT is "a stick of butter?" We don't use that phrase here in Australia.

the 30 girl said...

Sweet Freak said...

Is it the cupcakes or the photos? These look especially out of this world.

I want to die and go to heaven just so I can eat those cupcakes.

Jamie said...

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! i love making upcakes and this has provided me with all sorts of new inspiration, yay!

Joanna Goddard said...

oh, jo jo, in the US, butter comes in packages of four sticks, so often recipes will call for a stick of butter or a half-stick of butter. one stick of butter equals 8 tablespoons. xo

Joanna Goddard said...

ps. or a half cup :)

jen jafarzadeh said...

brilliant! I love how the site's set up and the way the cupcakes (which all look amazing!) are photographed.

Anonymous said...
