Re: Peaches n' cream cupcakes
Thanks!!! This is probably my favorite cupcake recipe ever. They aren't hard to make, just time consuming. And the only downside is that it requires peach extract which most grocery stores don't carry. I got mine on Amazon. Otherwise, they are reallllllly goooood and also they aren't overly sweet or anything. Perfect for just about anyone!

Re: Peaches n' cream cupcakes
Peach extract?? I've never even seen that! But I have made different varieties of fruit infused vodkas - I wonder if you could make peach "extract" that way?? I'm going to have to look up the recipe for that one and see if I can tweak something to be safe for my allergy set (gluten, dairy, egg). I love peach!

Re: Non-Cupcake Classroom Birthday Celebration Idea
That is a cute idea. However, please remember anytime we offer food to our child's classmates we risk allergies. My youngest daughters is allergic to Yellow 5 (which is found in almost all applesauce brands - except the all natural). If she were to eat this snack, she would have a very severe rash for the remainder of the day. Most of us send snacks that avoid peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat. But, allergies come in many different forms. For classroom birthdays, I always avoid food.

Re: Non-Cupcake Classroom Birthday Celebration Idea
Hi Bustermonkey, you make a good point. There are also children who are allergic to apples, so even the natural applesauces would be an issue. I think the thing to consider, whatever the occasion, is who is the audience, and what are the specific allergies people are dealing with. With obesity and allergies such a concern across America, I applaud using fruit as a treat, but only if it is safe for the intended audience. Non-food treats are also a great choice.

Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
These are delicious! I used light brown sugar since the recipe didn't say which. Also used rice milk instead of just water for the frosting. And palm shortening. We like tart, so we used less sugar in the frosting than it called for. They were a big hit with kiddos AND grown ups. Thank you so much...we added the recipe to our kitchen's, "Good Safe Stuff," binder!

Re: E-I-E-I-O!
Thank you! I am so happy to share this one with everyone and I have to admit - this birthday cake and set up was my favorite project I have done. My kids loved the nearly 6 foot barn and farm animals I made so much that we used it as a wall decoration in their play room afterwards!

Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
Can someone explain to me what it means by 1 lemon zest and juice.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
You start with one lemon, and then use all the zest and juice you can get from it. I have a little hand zester to use on the peel to get the zest. Then I either cut the lemon into wedges that I squeeze by hand or cut it into half to use on a small juicer.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
You want the zest and the juice from 1 lemon. Zest it first, then cut it in half and juice it.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
The zest is the yellow skin of the lemon. You can use a small grater to get it off the lemon. Try not to get much of the white stuff that's underneath the skin, as this is bitter.

Doesn't powdered sugar have corn starch in it? At least all the powdered sugar I have looked at does.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
There are corn free versions of powdered sugar. Maybe someone else reading this can tell you if they know a brand you can check out.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
Trader Joe's powdered sugar is corn-free.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
...or, you can make your own powdered sugar in a "dry" Vitamix blender container by grinding up regular sugar...but I prefer to buy it at Trader Joe's since I feel as if I make almost everything else mysef! Trader Joe's version has tapicoa starch instead of corn starch.
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
Wholesome Sweeteners powdered sugar is also corn free - it uses tapioca starch. Trader Joe's is great, but it's only available "seasonally" during the winter/holiday baking season. They may still have some left, so stock up if you find it!
Comment
Re: Lemonade Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Frosting (Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn, Nut Free)
My Trader Joe's stocks it all year... I wonder if you could get it more often by talking to the store manager? They are always very nice. I'll bet Trader Joe's "brand" is really repackaged Wholesome Sweeteners!
