From fruit-filled and fondant-adorned creations to classic chocolate and vanilla, Sweetness Haven Creations has a cupcake for every occasion!
1. GO TO VANILLA CUPCAKES
Smelling sweet of butter, sugar and vanilla, these classic little cakes bring you right back to when you were a kid and Mom baked your birthday cupcakes.
2. GO TO CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Moist and deeply chocolatey, these cupcakes are divine with virtually any frosting, but they are also delicious with a dusting of confectioners' sugar. When preparing the batter, plain yoghurt will do if you don't have sour cream on hand.
3. OLD FASHIONED CARAMEL CUPCAKES
Old-Fashioned Caramel is a cupcake that can't be rushed. It's a true labour of love. The caramel has to cool for a while before you can make the frosting, and then you need to use the frosting right away. If the frosting gets too thick to spread, add just a little cream or milk to make it spreadable. But rest assured—It is definitely worth the effort.
4. BROWNIES CUPCAKES A LA MODE
Fudgy and brownie-like, these cupcakes would be excellent candidates for a gathering with a toppings bar. Pre-scooping and refreezing the ice cream will prevent the desserts from getting too soupy too fast and give everyone time to sing a second round of "Happy Birthday."
5. S’MORES CUPCAKES
These are the perfect S’ mores cupcakes, a graham cracker base, soft and decadent chocolate cake, gooey Hershey’s chocolate buttercream centre and toasted marshmallow frosting.
6. COOKIES & CREAM CUPCAKES
These Cookies and Cream Oreo Cupcakes are moist vanilla cupcakes stuffed with Oreo cookies and topped with an Oreo buttercream frosting. This is the ultimate Oreo cupcake made from scratch.
7. CUPCAKES WITH BROWNED BUTTER FROSTING
These beautiful treats start out with a pound cake mix, so they are a snap to prepare! For a cheerful, bakery-like touch, garnish the cakes with fresh mint leaves and edible violas.
8. SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE CUPCAKES
Sour cream pound cake cupcakes aren’t called “pound” for nothing. Maybe it’s because of what happens to your hips when you eat too many? Take it from me, more than a couple of these will leave you trying to get your jeans buttoned without a lot of success. Classic sour cream pound cake cupcakes transform one of the best desserts ever (I think) into a bite-size form. Spread on a heap of whipped cream frosting and dig in!
9. LEMON ANGEL FOOD CUPCAKES WITH RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM
Light and airy lemon angel food cupcakes are topped with a seriously delicious fresh raspberry buttercream.
10. MOCHA CUPCAKES WITH ESPRESSO BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
These mocha cupcakes are coffee and espresso-infused, with a subtle chocolate flavour and topped with an espresso-spiked buttercream frosting.
I really hope that all of you enjoyed this post and will give at least one of these recipes a try yourself. If you did, please do let me know how did it turn out for you. I would love to hear from any of you on the feedback and comments you have. Till we meet again in my next blog post.

2. SHC 20 MOUTH-WATERING RECIPES FOR CUPCAKES & MUFFINS
When the 'CUPCAKES' revolution took off, little did we all know that it would take the world by storm. So much so that years later it still seems to be the top-selling item in most bakeries across the globe and there’s just no getting over it. The tiny, little miniature cakes wrapped in beautiful paper cups, topped with smooth and creamy frosting, and adorned with myriad sprinklers are not only a sight for the sore eyes but an immensely satisfying treat for anyone with a sweet craving. Probably, what makes them such a huge hit is the fact that they are bite-sized, which somehow makes you feel less guilty indulging, and they come in so many interesting flavours!
On the other hand, 'MUFFINS' are awesome because, well, they're basically caked for breakfast. How can you go wrong? The other great thing about muffins is that the flavour combinations are endless. When all that goodness comes in a portable, easy-to-eat package, it's basically a breakfast trifecta. I very much hope that you will enjoy these recipes as much as I do.
A) CUPCAKES
What makes cupcakes, so tempting is also the way it is laid out. If you have a party coming up, think of interesting ways to serve them to your guests. You can arrange them on a plain chopping board in quirky shapes or even as the name of a person. Or pile them up on a cake stand to make a delicious pyramid.
A trending pop culture favourite, cupcakes have also inspired new foodie twists and imaginatively decorated takes on the classic frosted version. Are you tempted yet? If not, you will be after you see these ‘10 TASTY HOMEMADE CUPCAKE RECIPES’ I am about to share with you now!
1. PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
If you love all things sweet and nutty, these delicious peanut butter and chocolate bar cupcakes will prove totally irresistible!
2. RASPBERRY CUPCAKES
The flavour combinations are endless, and there is always a new recipe or spin that I want to try. The lemon cupcakes with blackberry buttercream have long been one of my favourites, so I thought a twist on those would be fun. A raspberry twist!
3. SUPER MOIST RED VELVET CUPCAKES
The BEST Red Velvet Cupcakes are a light cake with a beautiful red colour and a slight chocolate flavour with a little tang from the buttermilk. They are perfectly moist and topped with cream cheese frosting. You will agree that these are the best! Red velvet is by far the favourite in my family. In a house divided by vanilla and chocolate, we somehow come together in red velvet. I’ll never tell the vanilla half that there’s a smattering of cocoa powder in these babies. They don’t need to know that they’re secret chocolate lovers too.
4. PRETTY RAINBOW CUPCAKES
These Rainbow Cupcakes are made with a simple boxed white cake mix, coloured, and layered to make a rainbow, with whipped cream cheese frosting on top! These Rainbow Cupcakes make me giddy! The bright colours, in perfect layers, peaked cupcakes, and whipped cream cheese frosting! So much goodness going on in one cupcake! Normally, I’m not a fan of sprinkles, but these little confetti/sequin sprinkles, are just fun! I do like dots better than lines though.
5. PINK LEMONADE CUPCAKES WITH PINK LEMONADE FROSTING
This pink lemonade cupcake recipe is inspired by my granny’s recipe. Normally I’d start this recipe with a homemade white cake batter, but we’ll be using Pillsbury Purely Simple White Cake Mix to make this recipe super quick and easy, all without sacrificing that old-fashioned taste. Promise!
6. CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES
Delicious!! Finely chop the walnuts and it adds a nice crunch. This recipe is one of my family’s ‘BEST KEPT RECIPE’. I left 6 without frosting and they were also delicious - great breakfast food or you can have it anytime you desire!
7. PERFECT FLUFFY VANILLA CUPCAKES
These vanilla cupcakes rise perfectly and have beautiful flat tops when cooled completely – a perfect blank canvas for frosting. I love eating these cupcakes without frosting, they’re not plain at all! They’re absolutely delicious and full of flavour. But frost these cupcakes with scrumptiously creamy vanilla buttercream, and you’ll take them to the next level. Moist, fluffy, creamy vanilla heaven.
8. MOIST HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
These Moist Chocolate Cupcakes are completely homemade and full of chocolate flavour! The cupcake melts in your mouth and the frosting is made with real melted chocolate for a silky smooth, super chocolatey frosting you won’t want to stop eating!
9. RASPBERRY RIPPLE CUPCAKES
These deliciously moist and fluffy Raspberry Ripple Cupcakes are swirled with crushed raspberries and topped with raspberry buttercream. This is my all-time favourite, go-to cupcake recipe, and I’ve made it even better with berries! These cupcakes are incredibly moist from using oil and sour cream, yet still beautifully fluffy from using cake flour.
10. CHOCOLATE OREO CUPCAKES
Scrumptiously moist and fluffy chocolate cupcakes stuffed full of Oreo crumbs, and topped with a thick and creamy Oreo crumb buttercream frosting! These cupcakes are definitely one of my favourites. Simply because I love Oreo cookies, and of course, chocolate cupcakes. I have made sure to load these cupcakes with plenty of Oreo crumbs to ensure that you will taste Oreos in every bite. You Oreo lovers are gonna love them!
B) SHC 10 DELICIOUS HOMEMADE MUFFIN RECIPES
From classic blueberry muffins to banana crunch to chocolate chip, get busy in the kitchen with these ‘10 DELICIOUS HOMEMADE MUFFIN RECIPES’ perfect for any breakfast, snack or dessert craving! But before that, I would like to share with you (if I may), a few tips to make your muffin especially perfect:
a. Don't overmix the batter when you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until evenly mixed and just moistened.
b. Fill your muffin cups about three-fourths full of the batter. If you fill or overfill the tins, the muffins are more likely to come out flat on top.
c. Allow muffins to cool for 10 mins in the pan before eating.
d. Fresh-baked muffins are the best kind of muffins, but you usually won't eat a whole batch at once. To reheat leftovers, just put them in a 200ºF oven for about 10 minutes and they'll be back to their original, fresh-baked splendour!
1. BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS EVER
I rarely make muffins to keep on hand at home, but since making these blueberry muffins, I’m convinced that there needs to be a constant stash in my freezer for emergency situations. These blueberry muffins are loaded with fresh blueberries, have a fresh blueberry jam swirl throughout and are topped with sugar for a crunchy bite!
2. CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
A quick and easy recipe for fabulous chocolate chip muffins.
3. STRAWBERRY LEMON MUFFINS
Deliciously moist muffins infused with lemon juice and zest, loaded with strawberries, and drizzled with a lemon glaze!
4. NUTELLA STUFFED CHOCOLATE ORANGE MUFFINS
Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Orange Muffins... Deliciously moist orange-infused muffins stuffed with Nutella and chocolate chips and topped with orange-flavoured icing, orange zest and more chocolate chips!
5. RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
Raspberry and chocolate, chocolate and raspberry… it’s all happening right now right here. In the form of fluffy, moist, gorgeous muffins. Fluffy and super moist chocolate muffins stuffed with chocolate chips and sweet fresh raspberries!
6. MY FAVOURITE BANANA CHIP MUFFINS
It’s such a simple recipe with just the right balance of banana and chocolate. Mix ’em up and bake. They come out super fluffy, moist and Perfect! These are the most amazing ‘Perfect’ Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins ever!. You need to try them. You won’t be disappointed.
7. STRAWBERRY MUFFINS
Packed with sweet strawberries, these tender muffins with crisp, golden tops are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. They’re a nice change from blueberry muffins, and just as delicious. The secret is adding a lot of berries to the batter which gives the muffins an intense strawberry flavour and keeps them very moist — along with a touch of almond extract to complement the fruit.
8. HOMEMADE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
If you’re wondering what kind of woman would feed her family chocolate for breakfast, please don’t confuse these muffins with chocolate cupcakes; they’re not nearly as sweet, and since they’re made with buttermilk, brown sugar and baking soda, they have an open crumb as opposed to a fine, cake-like texture. No frosting makes them entirely plausible for breakfast and not too decadent for an after-school snack. YUMMY! Okay, who am I kidding? They’re not exactly good for you — they’re chocolate! — but who cares?!
9. CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS
Deliciously soft and moist chocolate muffins that are full of banana flavour and studded with chocolate chips. These muffins are incredibly moist from the bananas and Greek-style yoghurt used, and they have just the right amount of chocolate. The chocolate and banana pair perfectly in these muffins. You have GOT to try one warm out of the oven!
10. PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS

No, these cupcakes don't need bandages. What looks like a gory encounter with the Count himself is just raspberry jam brightened with a drop of red food colouring. And if you dare sink your own teeth into them, you'll find that more raspberry jam and chocolate waiting in the centre.

12. THE BEST FUNFETTI CUPCAKES
1. SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERMILK BROWN SUGAR MUFFINS
I had never made the recipe as muffins, but it always rises beautifully and cooks through so evenly. And it’s such an easy recipe to make. One bowl, no mixer, nothing fussy. I love it when muffins get a nice domed top. And when they’re dripping in salted caramel. But not all of the muffins get that coveted dome. Nor are they always drenched in caramel. These easy, one-bowl, no-mixer muffins are soft and wonderfully moist, and the crumb has the perfect balance of density and lightness. The batter has melted butter, oil, and buttermilk to keep the muffins fluffy and tender. Don’t overfill your muffin pan because the muffins rise very well. While baking, the butter and brown sugar caramelize, creating subtle caramel undertones. Although they don’t ‘need’ it, I played up the caramel profile by drizzling with salted caramel.
2. BEST EVER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
3. PEACHES AND CREAM MUFFINS
These moist and fluffy Peaches and Cream Muffins are sure to make you weak at the knees!
4. CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

HAPPY BAKING & BELLISIMO!
