I’m a huge fan of Georgetown Cupcakes.  My sister-in-law introduced them to me a couple years ago and whenever there is a special occasion I ask her or others for at least one.

This evening we spent some time over at a friend’s house and I offered to bring over some desert so I tried at my stab at a yummy cupcake and icing.

I found this really good Allergy Free cake recipe – no dairy, and no nuts – called Wacky Cakes

Allergy-Free Dessert Recipe: Kathy P’s Wacky Cake
Recipe Information
Category: Cakes
Recipe Created By: Kathy Przywara
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour (see below for gluten-free options)
3 Tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vinegar
5 Tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.

Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to combine.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter. Do not beat.

Pour into greased and floured pan (8″ square or 9″ round) or 12 cupcakes. Bake in oven until tests done – about 35 minutes for cake, about 20 minutes for cupcakes.

I made it with cocoa and they turned out so moist.  I used Cake Flour not all-purpose flour and I think that helps a lot.  I even used the Kitchen Aid mixer and poured all of the ingredients in the bowl to make it super easy and fast.  The batter is watery so I poured it from the mixer into a measuring glass and it was so easy to pour into the cups.   My toddler even helped and had a great time learning about how the mixer worked.  I baked them for 20 minutes.  When they came out they were a little crumbly when I inserted the toothpick which meant that they would be moist.

Then I created the icing.  This wasn’t allergy free by any means but it was close to Georgetown Cupcake’s Red Velvet cream cheese frosting thanks to Delleicious DC for the information. The icing recipe comes from Martha Stewart.  You can find the recipe HERE.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until well combined.

I highly recommend following the recipe to the letter – sift the sugar and make sure the ingredients are at room temperature.  I used the Kitchen Aid mixer for this too.  I love my mixer!

After the cupcakes were cool I then iced them by putting it in a plastic ziplock bag creating a hole at the corner and pumping the icing on top.

They turned out great. They weren’t too rich and not too sweet.  Yummy!

Sorry I didn’t take a picture but next time and I’m sure there will be a next time I will take a picture.

What type of cupcakes do you like?

I love Birthdays!  Birthdays are so much fun especially when you can say you’re 24 again or maybe 21.  *wink wink*

Bath & Body Works – As I’ve mentioned in the past, Bath & Body Works sends so many coupons and in this case I combined it with a sale.  The cashier even gave me the coupon back to use again.

Godiva – The same day I was going to the mall to pick up some of my freebies I realized that you can sign up for Godiva Chocolate Rewards the same day and get 1 FREE piece of chocolate and you will get 1 FREE piece each month just by walking in.  If you don’t have the reward card make sure you remember the email address you used to sign up.

Toys ‘R’ Us – Children ages 2 – 10 will receive a birthday card and surprise gift from Geoffrey when you sign them up for Geoffrey’s Birthday Club.

In the mail I got a $5 off a $25 and then a week closer to her birthday she got a $3 off a $3 purchase, the best part is you can combine these coupons!  Woohoo! We ended up getting a baby doll stroller, baby doll bottles, ball, Popsicle holders and a play shopping cart with fake food for $22!

She got there and had a great time playing with the toys. Plus she got a balloon, a crown and her name announced on the loud speaker.  She was a little princess.

I can’t believe it is Wednesday already the weekend went by so fast.  I’d been trying to get these pictures downloaded so I could show off my shopping trips and now I can.

Back when they had the Shopper’s Promotion I was trying to decide when I should use the 2 $5 catalinas.  This weekend was when they were to expire so on Saturday I went in and got all of this after using the catalinas it came to under $3!  Not bad.  We had a funny picnic on Sunday in the garage eating salad.  Will be making salads tomorrow night.

I’m excited to say that I got to do the Nivea deal more than once.  This is my favorite body wash.  I’m so glad I got introduced to it a while back when CVS had a buy 1 get 100% ECBs back to make it free.  My skin has been less dry and I haven’t had to use that many lotions.   Now I have a supply that will last me for a long time.   If I ever get any more body washes it is for gifts or donations.   Plus, the Nivea Lip Moisture is a new favorite of mine too.  I left one of them in the car, which is why it isn’t in the picture.  Everything in the above picture cost me under $3.

All I can say is Wow!  These are truly the best scones I’ve ever made and eaten.  In the last year I was introduced to the amazing Pumpkin Scone at Starbucks but at $1.95 a piece, it’s not the frugal way to go.

I found this recipe on MomsWhoThink online and made it.  A couple changes that I made include using pumpkin pie filling instead of regular pumpkin (hard to find regular pumpkin at some stores) and I also used heavy cream instead of half and half.   They came out so well I tried the recipe yesterday a couple more times, I used the self-rising flour and only used a 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder and omitted the salt.  I then did another batch with cooking margarine and my hubby preferred those.  I recommend cream for the icing because milk seems to make it too “watery”.

Starbucks Pumpkin Scones Recipe

These pumpkin scones are so moist and flavorful you’ll be wanting to make them all year round. They taste just like the ones you get from Starbucks. Make them on a fall morning and they’re the perfect fit with hot tea or coffee. Save yourself the hassle of waiting in line for your breakfast and shelling out big bucks for the same wonderful scone you can easily make at home.

Scones Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
7 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 Tablespoons cold butter
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 Tablespoons half-and-half
1 large egg

Sugar Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons whole milk

Spiced Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch ground cloves

Scones Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2.  Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

3.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.

4.  With a fork, pastry knife, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter remain. Set aside.

5.  In a separate mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin, half and half, and egg.

6.  Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Form the dough into a ball.

7.  Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1-inch thick rectangle (about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide).

8.  Use a large knife to slice the dough into three equal portions. Cut diagonally to produce 6 triangular slices of dough.

9.  Place on prepared baking sheet from step 2.

10.  Bake for 10–16 minutes until scones turn light brown.

11.  Place on wire rack to cool.

Sugar Glaze directions:

1.  Mix the powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoon milk together until smooth.

2.  Brush glaze over the top of each cooled scone.

Spiced Glaze Directions:

1.  As sugar glaze firms, combine the spiced icing ingredients.

2.  Use whisk to drizzle over each scone and allow to dry before serving.

Makes 6 pumpkin scones.

My guess this cost me about $2 a batch to make, if that. Obviously, a container of cream is about $2.50 and you won’t use it all even if you make several batches so I suggest making home made ice cream with the left over cream and mixing with milk.  Yummy!  Perfect with the scones.  I’ll post that recipe later.

What do you think?  Any suggestions for other recipes to try?
