I certainly have been blessed with sisters who love to bake! My youngest sister, Eliza (we’re 10 years apart) is definitely a tried-and-true baker. Every time Logan and I come into town, she’s always got a new pastry that she whipped up ready for us to try! Oh, and she’s a master at cute cake pops. Just saying. 😀
When Eliza and my mom came and stayed with Liam and me for the first week after he was born, Eliza went straight to the house cleaning and making these. I hope you enjoy her post as much as I do!
Bonjour! I am Eliza, Caroline’s baby sister and Liam’s aunt. When Liam was born, I stayed with the new family for a week. I cleaned their house (I love cleaning, something I picked up from Caroline.) and baked cupcakes while Caroline and Logan enjoyed their precious baby.
I made these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes. They are super yummy! Here is the recipe, and… Bon appétit!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes
slightly adapted from Your Cup of Cake
Cupcakes:
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
- 1 package of vanilla cake mix
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Line the pan with twenty cupcake liners and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients starting with the eggs, oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Then add the sour cream.
- In the same bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix and cinnamon until the batter appears to be even throughout.
- Load the cupcake liners three quarters of the way full, and let them bake for approximately 18 minutes.
Buttercream:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch, crushed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
How-To
- With a mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add in the finely crushed cereal and cinnamon, then mix in the vanilla and powdered sugar. If the consistency needs adjusting, add either more powdered sugar or milk.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe on the buttercream icing, and top the cupcakes with cinnamon sugar and cinnamon toast crunch pieces. Enjoy!

Everyone needs someone like you/Eliza in their life… cleaning and whipping up sweet treats after baby is born?! What a dream!
These are adorable, and such a great idea! Eliza, you are definitely vying for the best sister ever trophy. My two younger sisters are going to have a big sis with high expectations!

Way to go on Eliza’s first guest post!!! I remember her baking these when I came over to meet Liam for the first time. The house smelled so yummy! I bet Liam will be great in the kitchen with the best foodie mom (Caroline) and all these wonderful baking aunts 🙂
Aww, what a nice sister you are! I wish I had a bit of you in me. I HATE cleaning. I just want to bake all day and then plop in bed.
These cupcakes look amazing! Perfect piping. And cinnamon toast crunch? Oh my gosh. I haven’t had that in years. I wish we had it in Germany!
Did you take the pictures? They look just like Caroline’s! 🙂
Haha, yeah I (Caroline) took the photos. 🙂
