I Sing In The Kitchen is almost one year old. I thought it would be fun to share the most popular posts of 2011 with you.

The top five were all cupcakes and some of my favorite recipes, too.

Hands down, The Minions Cupcakes drew the most readers. I love these guys. You can check out the original post here.

The number two spot belongs to these dreamy Guinness Stout Cupcakes With Whiskey Ganache and Bailey’s Cream Cheese Icing. You can get the recipe here.

And coming in at Number 3 is Mrs. Cookie Monster. She really is adorable. Check out the short and sweet directions here.

Aside from the Melting Snowmen Cupcakes on my header, these Cookie Monster Cupcakes are my fave ever and number 4 in popularity this year. Instructions are here.

And, coming in at Number 5 are the super cute Elmo Cupcakes. They tickle everyone who makes them. Recipe is here.

We listened to all sorts of music in the past year. Of the new music, it is no secret that Okkervil River and The Decemberists released songs that filled up my 2011 top 10 song list. The third artist to capture a few spots in this list is King Post Kitsch.

I wrote about ‘The Party’s Over’ in this post (more cupcakes!). It is an incredibly good album that I play with ridiculous frequency. Always loud. Always excellent.

You can buy ‘The Party’s Over’ at Song, By Toad Records. Check out the KPK website, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Cheers!
