Cupcakes: Mission Accomplished


Remember last week I had that insane craving for cupcakes? Well, mission accomplished! As you can see from the photo above, I finally made them. And wouldn't you know... When it came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to eat one. Yes, I did have a nibble so I knew I wasn't poisoning our super bowl gathering, but I didn't have one. I just couldn't. I am the most boring person alive! But I do believe they were a hit at the party, so I feel satisfied enough!

They started out like this: (Which is uber nerve-wracking to a non-baker! Who knows if they're going to turn out??)


And when all was said and done, they turned out looking like this: 


So all in all, not too shabby. A sandwich baggie-turned icing bag isn't the best way to make your icing all swirly and beautiful, but it did the job. Sort of. I will say though, the icing is ahhh-mazing. I confess I had a couple licks of that goodness. 

So there you go! My craving-to-reality. Let me know if you give them a try! I promise (from my one little bite) that they are very yummy! And quite easy to pull off!

oh come on. You tempt me with them, I finally indulge and eat 3. You have a nibble. You are boring! I hope you have leftovers tempting you and you actually eat a whole one!

BTW - someone else must have seen your blog post because someone brought chocolate cupcakes with PB frosting to the superbowl party we went to last night!
