The Cupcake Courtesan

Because I was lazy and I didn't put any pictures up yesterday, you get a twofer today!

First off, I mentioned that baby shower I held for my friends Julie and Aaron... well, rummaging around here, I did find a photo of those cupcakes. To my mortification, they had the aesthetic of baby poop. I did not realize this until I was trying to pipe the oreo filled chocolate buttercream frosting onto the cupcakes, and it kept getting clogged and did not look pretty.

Next time I will put the oreos ON TOP and not in the frosting. Lesson learned. It was pretty funny though.

Secondly, talking about chocolate cake with crap on top of it, my second picture is of a snickers cake I made for my friend Tiffany's birthday party. I will admit - it was from a box. The last time I actually made a cake from a box. The twist was putting sliced snickers in the batter before it baked, and then crushed snickers ontop of the frosting when it is done. If you're not much of a baker, you can always make regular old box mixes your own by adding stuff like that.


Aforementioned friend Aaron made some brownies with the same concept, except he put yorkshire peppermint patties in it. It was *DELICIOUS*.

I will be updating with recipes as I discuss current baked goods that I'm making, as for these, well, It'd be a lot of searching around.

Also stay tuned for Halloween themed goodies!
