I’ve not always been what you would call “a finisher” in life. Sure I finished college and yes I’ve worked in the same job for 7 years, but that’s about it. Oh yeah, and I wrote a book. It’s 270 pages, it took me seven years and I basically half-assed the ending just so I could add that to my accomplishments. I wouldn’t even technically call it complete because there’s a paragraph missing that I STILL. CAN’T. FINISH.
I know, I need some form of therapy. I’m aware.
Sadly, there are probably support groups for people like me but I’d only make it to the first three meetings. On the fourth meeting I would show up late, be too embarrassed to go in and wind up at sulking at Starbucks figuring out the next thing I could get low key obsessed with.
Piano. Guitar. Quilting. Exercise. Making those sweatshirts with iron-on pictures of animals and puffy paint accents.
Starting this blog induced feelings (eww) that I couldn’t ignore. Happy feelings. Warm fuzzy obsessive feelings. Keep you up at night fantasizing about your next blog post feelings. Naturally I just assumed the life expectancy of Inspector Gorgeous was 6 months max and then I’d be selling my camera on ebay.
That’s the spirit, Liz.
Last week marked ONE WHOLE FREAKIN YEAR of the InspectorG Blog. A year! Considering I debated quitting many times I’d say that’s cause for celebratory treats!
Gluten free/low carb CUPCAKES anyone?
Now because these are adorned in fruits, they are technically considered a breakfast item and are totes acceptable to nosh accordingly. In my life, that’s exciting stuff.
You can literally cut the excitement with a knife (demonstrated below)
-and eat all of the crumbly guts with zero guilt because this recipe is clean AF.
Hey! Another thing I will finish!
All of these cupcakes.
Keto White Cupcakes & Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Cupcake Mix
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/8 cup Coconut Flour
- 2 Egg Whites
- 1 Egg, Whole
- 1/3 cup Swerve Granulated Sweetener
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil or Butter, Softened
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1-3 tbsp Warm Water, depending on your batter
Frosting
- 16 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 7 tbsp Butter, softened
- 2-3 cups Swerve Confectioner's Style Sweetener
- Assorted Berries to Decorate with and/or dip in frosting for later
Instructions
Cupcake Mix
- Preheat oven to 350°. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, oil, and 1 tbsp water until mixed well.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until almost smooth. Add the apple cider vinegar and mix. If the batter is still very thick, add another tbsp of warm water until it becomes the consistency of cake batter.
- Using a ladle or ice cream scoop, portion one per cupcake liner. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Frosting
- Whip room temperature cream cheese with butter until combine. Slowly add confectioner's sugar until your desired sweetness. More sugar will also produce a "stiff" frosting so the texture is up to you! Scoop onto cooled cupcakes and top with berries.
Notes
Gluten Free, Low Carb
All wrapped up and ready for me to eat all by myself. I’ll share when I turn 2…
Yeah congrats and lovely recipe!

This is so exciting! Happy 1 year anniversary to the cutest blogger I know! You’re destined to make it big! Watch out bitches!! 🙂

(i always get over hyped when someone celebrates a blogaversary, I’m so dramatic, I know)
😀

It’s ok to get overly hyped! I’m hyped at the fact that I made it this far. Fun fact: I have nothing planned for Monday so far hahaha 🙂
hahahaha!
Good plan already 😀
congratulations to one of the most creative ladies I got to know! would love to read your book any time soon! 😛 so hurry up and launch it! 😉 😀 xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty
Thank you! I really need to get off of my laurels and publish it just so I can feel like it is finally DONE! 🙂
Well, you have one buyer for sure! 😁😁😁xx
Happy Birthday!
Way to go, original IG! I’ve written a first draft of a book and it’s only taken me 7 years too! Can I claim to be an author?
Yes, yes you can! I didn’t realize we are so much alike. Let’s release our books as a team. What is your book titled?
I’m sure my book is almost exactly like yours. It’s called Pixel City and it is about a guy that gets trapped inside the video game world. Exactly like yours right?
Haha exactly! Mine is actually called Bait and it’s about a high heeled, gun toting, bad ass babe who works as a PI and gets into shenanigans lol
Um, yours sounds way better. I like it already, and I’ve only seen 25 words of it. We need to finish our novels stat so we can stop being blog famous and start being book famous.
I love you for making naughty treats less guilty, and they look SO pretty! I definitely need to shop for a few healthier ingredients though that’s for sure xxx
Ah well I do my best;) If I didn’t make them healthy I’d be in a constant state of sugar coma hehe <3
