Savory Sight: Cappuccino Cupcakes

Yum Community — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 03:11:29 PST

We've never met a cupcake we didn't like and kateparham's cupcakes look absolutely delightful.

When it comes to the kitchen, most people seem to fall into one of two camps: you’re either a cook or a baker. It’s rare that someone can do both, and do both well. I, for one, am no baker (cook may also be debatable). Aside from the fact that I’m not a big sweet tooth, I seem to ruin every pie, cake, and cookie I ever try to make. Unfortunately, fried chicken doesn’t quite say “I love you” like a basket of heart-shaped cookies - both in theory and literally . . . it’d be pretty tricky to write “I love you” in hot sauce the way you would with icing - so for Valentine’s Day this year, I had to get creative. I wanted something sweet, something that could be considered remotely romantic, and something that even I, baking-impaired, non-sweet tooth, could make and enjoy. Oh, and apparently, it had to also contain a ridiculous amount of butter (Caution: this recipe is NOT low-cal). So what did I come up with? Cappuccino Cupcakes, of course.

12 Starbucks Treats For Under 250 Calories

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:00:55 PST

Decadent coffee shop desserts and fancy espresso drinks can be diet killers, but there are lower calorie options if you're watching your calories and find yourself hungry on the go. Chains like Starbucks may serve up seriously indulgent seasonal drinks, but the company also lists nutritional facts on its website, so you can scout out treats that won't wreck your healthy eating habits in a few bites. I was curious to scope out the best calorie bets on the menu, so I compiled 15 Starbucks items you can snag for under 250 calories if you're ever on the go and looking for a healthier treat.

Birthday Cake Mini Doughnut has 130 calories and six grams of fat.
Marshmallow Dream Bar has 210 and four grams of fat.
Petite Vanilla Bean Scone has 140 calories and five grams of fat.
Chicken on Flatbread with Hummus Artisan Snack Plate has 250 and nine grams of fat.
Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal without topping has 140 calories and two and a half grams of fat.
