10/8/2017 3 Comments Snickerdoodle CupcakesWelcome back to my blog! This week I made Snickerdoodle cupcakes and shared them with my church youth group at Hillsdale United Methodist Church. I was going to make snickerdoodle cupcakes with maple frosting but instead, I decided to do snickerdoodle cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I was afraid the snickerdoodle and maple frosting would be too sweet together and not very appealing to middle and high school kids. However, I still wanted a fall flavor that’s why I settled for these. Cupcakes are more in my comfort zone, whereas last week's muffins were not. Normally they would be pretty similar to cupcakes but the batter was much different than regular muffin batter, so I was excited to be back in my comfort zone. This week I made sure to read the directions thoroughly before beginning to ensure that I wouldn't have any mess ups like last week. Sure enough that worked and everything went smoothly… for the most part. I made sure to let my cream cheese and butter sit out and reach room temperature before I used them. The cupcakes were relatively simple to make. However, you were supposed to sprinkle a cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter before baking, and I completely forgot to do that on my “test” batch. Luckily it was just my test group so there was no harm done. The reason I like to make a test group is because I like to be able to taste what I am giving away and make sure that it tastes okay. The frosting was very easy to make, so there was no trouble there. To give these cupcakes my own touch I added half of a cinnamon stick to the top of each cupcake for decoration. Overall, I was very pleased how these cupcakes turned out. Again this week I have included the recipe below as well as pictures of the process. Don't forget to check back in next week. I'll be making pumpkin spice truffles! Link to Snickerdoodle Cupcakes and Frosting - https://www.garnishandglaze.com/2017/01/14/snickerdoodle-cupcakes-recipe/

Man those clean cut cinnamon sticks look great on your cupcakes. You did a great job evenly cutting them to be the same on each cupcake. I think it's really what makes the cupcake stand out.

Those cupcakes look really good! I think it is really cool that you are donating them to your youth group. I also like how you included a test group.
