Day 60 (5.5.12): Chocolate PB Cookie-Center Cupcakes with Sweet Peanut Butter Frosting


Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie-Center Cupcakes with Sweet Peanut Butter Frosting
Status: Homemade
Satisfaction: 10! Or at least I hope so.

These cupcakes were the products of combined stress/anxiety over real-life problems which translated into a total baking overdrive (c'est la vie of a graduate student, no?) and a friend's birthday that just passed. So I combined, created, amalgamated a handful of recipes, and this is what happened! The Giant Tower of Babylon. Or more like the Leaning Tower of Delicious. (Seriously, guys--could you resist even looking at it?)

This is essentially what happens what cocoa meet Reese's lovers and they have awesome little PB chocolate babies. Well, really big babies. Huge babies, actually. And prego babies, since they're filled with gooey peanut butter cookie centers. God, I love my life.

And yes, I'm aware that the slightly perverse will think of these little babies as a tower of poop-like proportions. Well, boo you because you didn't get any anyway.

If you liked the photos and/or recipes, feel free to leave a comment! I'd love to hear what you think. (Recipes below the cut.)

Oh, and shout out to Cailey, Kim, Rebecca, and Vanessa--for being honorary-in-the-presence-of-these-cupcakes Scrumdiddlyumptious perusers. Hi five!

Day 14 (3/17/12): Alice in Wonderland Cupcakes (in a Golden Afternoon Dreamland)

 

Alice in Wonderland Cupcakes

(3.17.12)

Since I was still sick on Saturday and basically ended up swallowing a combination of leftovers and insufficient meals, I made up for it by doing some research for the Edible Book Festival our school is hosting in April. As you can see, spirits are low but ambitions are high--and you might see a repeat of some of these cute themed cupcake (hopefully) next month!
