Cupcake Project Hamantashen cupcakes aren't just cupcakes topped with a hamantashen. Stef of Cupcake Project explains that, like the cookie, the cupcakes are also triangle-shaped, have a sugar cookie flavor, and filled with jam—and then they're topped with a hamantashen. Cookie-topped cake? I like the sound of that. (Stef also shares a recipe for making hamantashen.) [via Cupcakes Take the Cake] Related: How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?...

Thus far a breast milk craze has not hit, but I am a little surprised. After all, it's the perfect organic, raw, and local food wrapped into one, neat, biodegradable package. And if you are going to drink milk, it's said to be better for you. Why is breast milk on my mind? Well, Vice magazine recently concocted a cupcake challenge [NSFW] using cow's milk and breast milk: After quietly chewing for a few minutes, he whispered, “I ... I can’t tell any difference at all." But we said, “No, you have to choose one.” So he held up the cupcake in his right hand and said, “This one is vaguely tastier.” And guess what, it was the boobcake!...

Available on Etsy, $26 Two bits of cupcake-related ephemera came across the transom this week. Might as well roll them into one post. First Corby Kummer examines the cupcake in the March issue of The Atlantic. After the now-obligatory yes-cupcakes-are-overexposed-but-I'm-still-going-to-write-about–them intro, he goes on to say that "the craze is worth keeping" if only so bakers will get the damn things right. Cupcakes may be largely icing-delivery vehicles, but the cake shouldn’t be cardboard and the icing shouldn’t be grease—twin concepts few artisan bakers (artisan being the new word for homemade) seem to get. Cooked French buttercream, which many of them choose (it shows off Technique), is not a suitable cupcake icing. It’s oily. It smears. A simple glaze—think...

Photograph by Robyn Lee The blog TV Tango thinks it has found evidence of an upcoming cupcake-themed show from the Food Network: About 10 days ago, Food Network filed a trademark application to protect 'Cupcake Wars' for "a continuing program about food and cooking." I can't find any other details about the show and my requests to Food Network for more information went unanswered. Wouldn't it be awesome if Food Network and The Post teamed up to do a "Cupcake War" series with each episode focusing on a different region? Manhattan one week, Chicago the next, then LA, and Orange County and on and on. Of course, just filing a trademark application doesn't guarantee that the Food Network will...

Do you ever have a hankering for a nice, moist, vanilla cupcake with blue frosting and chocolate hearts on it? Or maybe a green tea flavored one with butter cream and sprinkles? Well, too bad you're stuck at work or tied down by one of those crazy cupcakeless diet fads. But wait, yet another iPhone app comes to the rescue. iCupcake is a new, 99¢ time-waster. It's pretty useless, sure, but you might be able to brighten someone's day by sending your sweet creation to them. If only it transported the real thing, though. [via Cupcakes Take the Cake]...

What happens when a cupcake goes on a journey away from its world of candies and sweets—on a boat made of sugar cubes, naturally—and accidentally ends up an unknown land of naked fruits and vegetables? It learns some non-water soluble architectural tricks and falls in love with a squash. From animator and illustrator Kirsten Lepore comes Sweet Dreams, a 10-minute stop-motion animated film that captures a snippet of this adventurous cupcake's life. Don't miss the the great background music and the mostly food-based sets. Watch the video after the jump....

How luscious are these berry mascarpone cupcakes? Kristin, of Pickycook, adapts a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis and shows how easy frosting can be—just purée some frozen berries and add confectioner's sugar. This is a great alternative for those who detest froofy buttercreams and the like. I love buttercream, but, hey, (wo)man can't live on buttercream alone. The mascarpone cake base is also a nice twist to the usual yellow or chocolate cake....
