Superbowl.

Superbowl Sunday is here and we've got the best dude cupcakes EVER to please your sports loving man today. Chocolate. Check. Beer. Check. Pretzels and dip? Well, sorta.. minus the dip. Check. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATEY BEER CUPCAKES WITH A FLUFFY PRETZEL FROSTING:

RECIPE:

CHOCOLATEY BEER CUPCAKES:
1 cup (4.5 ounces) all purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (7.3 ounces) sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1.5 ounces) Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and warm
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Budweiser

Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Add in the butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat on medium speed for one minute. Add 1/4 cup of the  beer into the mixture and beat for 20 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add remaining beer. Beat for 20-30 seconds until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin enough to pour. Divide it evenly among the lined cups. Bake 18-22 minutes just until a toothpick inserted into a few of the cupcakes comes out clean. Set the pan on a rack to cool. Frost the cupcakes when they are completely cool.

PRETZEL CREAM CHEESE ICING:
100g pretzels
500g cream cheese, softened
100g butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup milk

Process the pretzels in a food processor until they’re a mixture of coarse pretzel dust with a few small fragments of pretzel. Set aside.

Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth in the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Scrape the sides of the bowl down once or twice. Add the sugar and beat until well combined, then the vanilla and beat again, then the pretzel dust/fragments and beat again. The mixture will be very thick, so add the milk a quarter cup at a time, beating for a couple of minutes after each addition, to thin the icing out a bit and make it smooth.

Crush up extra pretzels for the topping, add a football, or your fav teams colors and enjoy the game!

100 Calorie Desserts.

It's a new year and with 56% of new year's resolutions being to live a healthier life, we thought we would help you do just that.

We've never met someone who told us that desserts weren't their biggest weakness. So, we have decided to share with you some of our favourite, guilt free, under 100 calorie dessert recipes.

Guilt free you ask? Mmmmmhhhhhmmm. You heard us right, under 100 calories and less for all of the below. Prepare, eat and enjoy :)

FROZEN CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA & PEANUT BUTTER BITES (they're vegan too!)  
1/2 banana-1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter-5 oz. dark chocolate squares
Slice the banana in 1 1/2 inch bites.  Put on a baking sheet and spread a tiny bit of peanut butter on each. Freeze for one hour. Remove. Melt chocolate and dip the banana/peanut butter bite into the melted chocolate. Work quickly. Cover completely and freeze until hard. DELISH.

DECONSTRUCTED S'MORES
This is a lighter take on your average S'more. Dip 2 large marshmallows into 1 tablespoon of melted semisweet chocolate chips. Roll in 2 tablespoons of cinnamon graham cracker crumbs and then take a huge bite into it. It's that simple. Be creative and add coconut flakes or pisatchios for a more unique taste.

ORANGE CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO TARTLETS

Stir 1 teaspoon brewed espresso & 1 teaspoon of orange rind into 3 tablespoons of fat free chocolate pudding. Divide the mixture evenly among 3 mini phyllo cups. For decorations sprinkle the top with extra orange rind, then indulge in this mouth-watering treat.

Mini's.

We are obsessed with the new packaging for our 50-90 calorie line of mini cupcakes. Who thought egg crates can be SO cute!?

Mychelle's Baketique mini cupcake packaging, pastel egg crates.

This adorable packaging is also eco friendly and recyclable! We love the pink, but it also comes in all shades of pastel. Tied to perfection with a satin bow, it is the perfect gift!

We don't use cases for the mini's, so the cupcakes themselves have no waste. What could be more perfect for hosting events?!

Sooo many mini's... so little time...

 

HOPE YOU ENOY OUR MINI'S :)

Have a delicious week!

Throwback.

Michelle Husserl, shooting the 5th video of the day for VideoJug.

We are still having daydreams about being asked to take part in VideoJug's cupcake series of "how to..." videos. These videos went live for an audience of about a half a million viewers.. therefore we wanted to post some images to remind us of the fun. Michelle Husserl, of Mychelle's Baketique was asked as a "cupcake connoisseur" to make one days worth of "how to" videos....

                                                                                          

   Mychelle's Baketique baby shower cupcakes!

What a days worth it was! 13 1/2 hours, and 11 "how to videos" later on things such as "how to make hello kitty, a dog, soccer, unique, sunflower, elmo, cookie monster, and baby shower cupcakes" we completed our first on air showcase. 

Here are some images to remind us that it actually happened :) Enjoy!

Photoshoot.

Mychelle's Baketique recently had an amazing and rustic photo shoot with the insanely talented food photographer Moe Kafer. We are obsessed with the white washed woods, the turquoise wooden panels, and the shabby chic influenced white on white wooded background props. The photos came out phenomenal and ooooh so mouth-watering. Therefore we thought it would be selfish to not share some of these beautiful images. Try not to drool on the computer... :)
