It seems like Z has recently been for ZERO cupcakes in production. Today Z is for Zero candy bar. Hershey’s website describes the Zero bar as a “unique combination of caramel, peanut and almond nougat covered in delicious white fudge”. The ingredient list is a bit longer: SUGAR; CORN SYRUP; VEGETABLE OIL (PALM KERNEL AND [...]

Y is for Yam Casserole
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged marshmallow, sweet potato, yam on July 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Before you read this, I have to warn you that this is going to be sticky…. I have never liked Sweet Potato casserole…mainly because I don’t like yellow sweet potatoes or yams. (Unless they they are made into french fries.) Before we moved to Washington, I wasn’t even aware that there were white sweet potatoes, [...]
Xiang Jiao Xocolatl Cake Pop
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged banana, chocolate on July 25, 2011 | 2 Comments »
After finally deciding on a flavor, I was pretty excited to start on X. I was originally going to do a regular cupcake, but then thought of frozen chocolate covered bananas. (I’d insert a stolen photo here, but they all looked very phallic…) I started off by making a banana cake using my standard cake [...]
X is …. a stretch

Finding a food that starts with X was very difficult. There is Xanthan Gum…useful for gluten free cupcakes, but definitely not a main ingredient. Xavier Steak: which has asparagus and Swiss cheese. Those two might be an interesting cupcake combination, but adding meat is a bit…gross? X-treme AirHeads, also gross, but for a different reason. [...]
Waldorf Salad Success
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged apple, celery, grape, Waldorf Salad, walnuts on July 4, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Waldorf Salad probably isn’t a traditional July 4th delicacy, but it was on my menu today…for cupcakes. I made it as far as the above photo last week. I tweaked the batter a bit since I wasn’t going to be able to put celery in the icing. Instead of 3 cups of apples, I used [...]
There is baking today!

It only took a few months to get it together enough to finish W. W was originally going to be “Whoppers”. (The candy, not the hamburger.) I have malted milk powder in the house. I have chocolate in the house. At various times, I have had a box or 2 of Whoppers in the house [...]
V is for Vanilla Coke
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged vanilla coke on February 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Mr Shuck actually suggested today’s letter. For those Pepsi® fans, I am an Atlanta girl. I could not in good conscience make a Pepsi cake. A lot of people don’t seem to like Vanilla Coke® based on the reaction I had when telling people at work what to expect for the next letter. Back when [...]
U is for Union Square Cocktail
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged agave, basil, Lemon, lime, strawberry, Union Square on January 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
“U” probably won’t be as difficult as some other letters remaining: V and X primarily. (If anyone out there knows of any dessert, candy bar, or any other dish that starts with either of these letters, please leave me a comment!) My original thought was U-No bar, but then I discovered that they don’t taste [...]
T is for Tiramisu
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations, tagged tiramisu on January 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
According to Wikipedia, tiramisu is made of biscuits (lady fingers, a small sponge cake) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone, and flavored with liquor and cocoa. Cupcakes are eaten out of hand, not with a fork, so I didn’t want them dipped in coffee. I decided to do [...]
What to do with overcooked cupcakes?
Posted in Mrs Shuck's Creations on January 16, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I attempted a sponge cupcake for T= Tiramisu. I had no idea how long to bake them since I was converting essentially a jelly roll sort of cake recipe into mini cupcakes. Apparently 14 minutes is too long. Probably 10-12 minutes is about right. So I had 24 mini cupcakes unsuitable for solo consumption… While [...]
