Cupcaking- Comparing Apples and Oranges

An old lady said to me last week. "you can't compare apples and oranges". I have to also mention I have no recollection of what our conversation was about. But when she said it my head said 'YES cupcakes for next week'. So here we have Apple Spice cupcakes with Maple Swiss Meringue. A lovely wintry treat. It reminds me of a little  antique shop that was around the corner from where I lived in America. As soon as cold Fall/ Winter showed up they would have free apple cider. The antique shop was huge so I just loved going in on a cold day just to browse and being greeted by a steaming hot cup of apple cider to join me in my meandering. 
So no more story telling here they are.  

Here is the break down,

Apple Spice Cake

Maple meringue buttercream

Candied apple cones. 

I have to brag a little. The base of the meringue butter cream is the usual but the additional flavouring is my recipe. Also the candied apples is all mine as well. 

Ok so up next we have a lovely summery light Orange cake with a vanilla Swiss meringue butter cream and candied orange. No story for this one just a lovely recipe. 

And some more pics of the whole gang.

Also I love sharing recipes. If you would like any recipes of cakes you see on here just let me know and I will email them to you or put them up if you would prefer.
