yummy cupcake bottoms
with the pineapple on top
batter in the lines ready to bake!
even in an unbaked state- they still look yummy!
browning the butter
browned butter icing!
(i thought i would save space and
place the liners on a cookie sheet
instead of muffin tins as I have seen
this done before. needed stronger liners!)
square cupcakes!
frosted, hot, yummy mess!
the upside down version :)
this cuppie recipe is a good idea in theory, although instead of the single chunk of pineapple, i think i will use a 1/2 spoon of crushed pineapple next time, and no icing as the cuppie became too sweet. it is a good cuppie to start the school season out- especially if your kids don't like fruit... this is a good way to sneak it to them.

Also, last year for Sophia's school birthday party, I made those cupcakes inside of the ice cream cone. We frosted them to look just like icecream with sprinkles. They were a huge hit!
OK, now I have to scavange through the pantry for something cake-y.
