Our November’s recipe for the Martha Stewart Cupcake Club (a.k.a MSC) is Sweet Potato Cupcakes, selected by Karen from Karen’s Cookies, Cakes, & More. You can find the recipe on her Cupcake book, page 243.
While some people may not really be too excited with this recipe, I was absolutely on board with the idea of using sweet potato in cupcakes. Sweet potato is soo… delicious, roasted on its own. I think it shouldn’t even be considered vegetable. And I was right… I loved them! They were absolutely fabulous: fluffy, crumbly, and has that nice hint of that sweet potato flavor that I love. The candied pecan and marshmallow topping was even better, it’s a really nice change from the regular frosting… but still look so elegant, and delicious. I love the crunchy pecan on top of the marshmallow, although I have to admit that I had a little issue with making the caramel syrup for the pecans. Thanks Karen for a great selection, I’d be making these again in the future! Don’t forget to check out how everyone else in our group is doing; there are some absolutely creative creations out there!
They look a good as the ones in Martha’s recipe book. I too love SP….yummmm. Great work….keep them coming
Hi! Sounds yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got this book – and I thought these were perfect for thanksgiving! I’m going to give them a try this year…glad you enjoyed them.
These look great – and you got the marshmallows to stack so high!
Hey there, you made the topping look sooo much nicer and less err…”rustic” than martha’s picture in the book. I prefer your result over hers (i won’t be getting a xmas card from her this year, just for saying that! hehehe). And I agree, I enjoyed making these, the flavour is lovely!
Thanks for baking along with me this month! That cupcake of yours looks fabulous — glad you enjoyed these as much as i did!
Holy cow….. these look great! Perfectly browned – and magazine-quality! Nicely done – so glad you enjoyed making them this month, they are a new favorite “muffin” for me!
Wow, look at that beauty!
I am glad you were onboard with the sweet potatoes! I thought they were delicious myself! YAY!
Great job! I’m also impressed with your stackage! These are beautiful!
Your cupcakes look great and I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Your cupcakes look beautiful! I have marshmallow envy!
I’m with you – I was excited about sweet potatoes in cupcakes and these lived up to my expectations! Yours look wonderful!
Love your photo! I’d never baked a sweet potato before I tried this recipe. Boy, I didn’t know what I had been missing. The potato was so sweet, without adding any brown sugar or marshmallows. Your cupcakes turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Your cupcakes look amazing!!! I love how high your marshmallows are stacked on the cupcakes. That had to have taken some time! I think that the sweet potato was a great ingredient…it brought alot of awesome moistness!
pretty! what a great photo! =)
Glad they turned out yummy!
These look like so much fun!
I love your photo. I burnt my marshmallows. What a bummer. They tasted just fine, despite this.
Looks like you are a true specialist. Did ya study about the topic? *lol*
