The Cupcake That Started It All: Chai Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream


My husband, Nate, and I married on May 21, 2011.  Nate is an officer in the US Coast Guard and so a few days after our honeymoon to Antigua, I followed him to his station in Kittery, Maine.  We spent a blissful, newlywed month together and then Nate went out to sea in late June.  What was I to do?  To start, I needed to make some friends.  So, I did.  The friend I made happened to be a food and fashion photographer and had invited me over to a dinner at which I was to bring dessert.  I had just watched the food network's "Cupcake Wars" and was inspired to make a chai cupcake.  The pressure was on, I had to make this dessert look and taste good!  So, I went out and bought a professional froster.  And so my love for cupcakes began.
