Pumpkin Mousse Cupcake
Pre-heat Oven to 350 Degrees - place cupcake liners into cupcake pans
Ingredients
1 Box Spice Cake Mix
1 Cup Canned Pumpkin
1/3 Cup Vanilla Yogurt (not low fat)
1/2 Cup Water
1 1/2 TBS Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
Mix all ingredients until well blended, spoon into Cupcake liners
Bake for 15-16 minutes on 350.
Allow to cool and core the centers of the cupcakes to allow for the filling (See below)
Makes approximately 2 Dozen
Pumpkin Mousse filling recipe:
1 -3.4 ounce package of instant pudding (either pumpkin spice flavor or vanilla and add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice seasoning)
Mix the pudding with 1 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Mix it for a couple of minutes until it is all nice and smooth, then you can add it to the center of your pumpkin cupcakes.
Cream Cheese White Chocolate Frosting
1 8oz Block softened cream cheese
1 Stick softened butter
2 Cups White Chocolate Chips (Melted at 20 Second Increments in the microwave and allowed to cool a bit - just until warm instead of hot - make sure they are melted all the way so there are not little tiny bumps in your frosting)
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups Powdered sugar
Blend the first 2 ingredients together for 1 minute
then add the melted white chocolate, 1 tsp. vanilla and then 2 Cups powdered sugar - 1 cup at a time.
Chill for at least 15 minutes before piping this onto your cupcakes. If you chill it for too long that is fine, it will just become more solid and you'll need to microwave it on defrost (30% power) for about 45 sec. to 1 min. or until it will stir but NOT be melty looking.
Here is a video Clip - sharing how to create this recipe!

Glow in the Dark (Under Blacklight) Cake Decorating!
Follow directions very closely to make this work! Here are two tips you need to know first off:
1. To make this work you MUST have a good Black light - no, it doesn't glow just by turning off the lights
2. Adding food coloring changes the chemical in the quinine, which is the ingredient in tonic water that causes it to glow - so, do not add food coloring or anything with any color!
(You might be thinking - Duh, white frosting will just glow under a black light - nope, this special frosting is the only way to make it actually glow. Regular white frosting doesn't glow under a black light)
Glow in the Dark Frosting
1 Cup Vegetable Shortening (White - Not Butter flavored)
1 1/2 tsp Clear Vanilla
1 1/2 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 tsp Almond flavoring
8 Cups powdered sugar (1- 2lb. package)
8-9 TBS Tonic Water with Quinine (Diet will work also)
Directions: Mix the first 4 ingredients in a bowl - make sure you use Clear extracts. (ANYTHING with any type of coloring will NOT glow! Trust me, I tried! )
Next, add 2-3 cups powdered sugar, then 3 TBS tonic water - then mix until smooth, continue adding 2-3 cups of powdered sugar and 3 TBS Tonic water and mixing it until smooth - until all of the powdered sugar and tonic water is mixed in. Then mix on Med-Hi speed for about 1-2 min.
Use to frost cupcakes, or to frost an entire cake - or any dessert that will be placed underneath a black light.
Glow in the Dark Party Punch
2 10 Ounce Bacardi non-alcoholic Mixers Frozen -Pina Colada flavor (Do not try any other type unless it is clear - ANYTHING with any type of coloring will NOT glow! Trust me, I tried! )
1 - 2 Liter of Lemon Lime Soda
1/2 of a 2 Liter bottle of Tonic Water with Quinine (diet will work also)
Mix together and place into a clear container and place container under a black light! Looks amazing in clear wine glasses!
Here is a Clip of my sharing this recipe on Good Things Utah - Thanks for having me, can't wait to come back!

Lemon
Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients:
½ cups butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoons baking soda
1-½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cups powdered sugar
Ingredients:
½ cups butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoons baking soda
1-½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cups powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Grease light colored baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or use
parchment paper – set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll about a teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. ( Do not over bake – you want these to stay soft!)
*If using a non-stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.

Candied
Lemon peel
1 lemon
1/3 c water
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c water
1/3 c sugar
2 Tbs. sugar place in
a separate bowl and set aside.
Using a peeler carefully peel off thin strips of lemon peel trying to only get the yellow & very little if any white. Trim the strips into desired width & length.
In a small saucepan bring the water & sugar to a boil. Add the lemon peels & allow them to cook until translucent. (approx 4 min.) Take the peels from the sugar water (I would recommend using tongs or a strainer) & roll them in 2 TBS granulated sugar and allow to cool & dry completely. When cool chop them into smaller pieces.

Top your cupcake with
"Lightly Lemon Butter Cream"
"Lightly Lemon
Butter Cream"
-Add 1 Tsp Lemon Zest
1 Tsp Lemon Juice to
1 batch of butter cream.
Then top with a
cookie and a dollop of lemon Butter cream and sprinkle the candied Lemon peel
on top.
You
can make the candied Lemon Peel and the cookies the day before you are planning
to make the cupcakes. If the candied lemon peel is too intimidating just grate some Lemon Zest over the top of your cupcakes. Enjoy!
