No Calories In These Cupcakes

Cupcakes and Muffins sticker


Looking for a no calorie cupcake? Not low calorie but a scrumptious little bit of heaven that won't put extra ounces around your waistline.  Swimsuit weather is approaching so finding a delectable little treat that doesn't add inches to our waistline might be in order.


Unless you are a hermit living in a cave, you are probably aware that cupcakes have become quite the popular dessert treat here in the United States.  Let's not kid ourselves, we aren't even waiting to have them for dessert.  Some of us have been known to stop by the local cupcake bakery on our way to work and have them for breakfast! Let's face it who can resist a Maple Syrup cupcake with bacon for breakfast? It is almost the same as eating a pancake with bacon on the side, it's just more portable and no dishes to wash when you are done.


Well, I promised to tell you about some no calorie cupcakes so I better keep my word.  As I was scouting around for an article to review this week, I found a really fun one by Treasures-by-Brenda. Her article takes cupcakes to a new level. Crazy About Cupcakes? Tie on a Cupcake Apron showcases cupcake aprons for those of us who like to make our own cupcakes at home. These adorable aprons are fun and perfect for the kitchen and there are absolutely no calories in the cupcakes featured. I have it on good authority that no cupcakes were harmed in the making of the article or the aprons featured.


Brenda is one of my favorite authors on Squidoo and I'm always amazed with her apron articles.  She is so creative with her niche and comes up with some of the most clever ways to tie an apron into a variety of topics.  If you haven't read her work, you are in for a real treat.  So go on, grab a cupcake and scoot on over to Brenda's kitchen and tell her Bev sent you.

  2. Oh, Brenda the Maple Syrup cupcake is to die for! I scrunched my nose up the first time I saw it but tasty it is! Maple Syrup cupcake topped with Maple syrup icing with bacon sprinkled on the top.

  3. Love bacon and syrup together, Bev. Scrumptious flavor, but I am proud that I can restrain myself, except on occasion. Cupcakes are a different matter! ...Ahh. Love the cute cupcake artwork on those aprons. And Brenda's work, and yours for that matter, well, it's never failed to delight me or move me in some way.

  5. This was a delightful lens, who could not love a cupcake theme? And you found such a cute graphic too, it made me smile. But as for maple syrup and bacon... well I'll take your word for it and will stick to a chocolate or blueberry muffin! :)
