This blew my mind.

These happened!!!!!
Wohooooo.


Okay recipe - The cupcakes are White Cupcakes, the same ones I used for the peanut butter cupcakes.

The frosting is butter cream.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp yellow food coloring
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp milk

and the Batman cutouts are from ready made fondant that I bought. But if you don't have readymade fondant, you can make it or you can make gumpaste. Recipe of gumpaste is given in the post about the Batman cookies.

Black food coloring is not available in the market. So mix equal parts of yellow, blue and red food coloring and voila. Black. :)

Some pointers -
1. Fondant sticks easy. So when working with Fondant, ALWAYS use parchment paper or if you don't have that then sprinkle your working counter with icing sugar. This should help the fondant to not stick.
2. The thinner your fondant, the easier it will be to work with. So make sure you roll it thin, but not so thin that it tears.
3. Fondant tears easy. So when working with fondant, it is important to refrigerate every step along the way. Refrigerate for 15 mins after carving, then refrigerate after painting it black.
4. I made the silliest mistake. I didn't let the paint dry and I put the fondant batman piece on the icing. DO NOT do that. The paint will run and make yellow full of spots of black, we don't want that. Let the paint dry and then carefully place the cut out on top of the icing.

If I end up being a serial killer.

So you know when serial killers get on death row, they're given a chance to eat whatever they want. It's called " one last meal".

Who likes Peanut Butter?

So my favorite sammich in the world is peanut butter and jam. And I was just talking to him about this last night so today morning I was bored and needed something to do and needed to make him something bake-y cause IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! WOHOOOO. AND I bought peanut butter just yesterday, so purchase excitement was still there. Thus, these were born :)

Jam filled cupcakes with peanut butter frosting :)

Okay so I looked this up online and there wasn't any recipe that I liked. So I decided to combine 2 different recipes.

These are plain white cake cupcakes.

I followed this recipe to the T and got amazing results. I halved the proportions though, to make a batch of 6.

The peanut butter frosting is also fairly simple.

1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp cream cheese

blend this until you're happy with the consistency. i blended for about 6 minutes.

Now coming to the jam filling.
After you're done with the cupcakes, you take them out and let them cool. Once they're cool, take a knife and make a whole in the center of the cupcake. Now pull the top of the hole out. With the back end of a spoon, scoop out how much ever you want. Fill this hole or whatever you want to call it with jam and then take the cupcake bits that you scooped out to cover the hole. Okay man I have used the word hole too many times.

Then ice the cupcake. I tried piping. Failed miserably, so maybe next time. So I just used a spoon and spread icing on top of the cupcake and sprinkled it with sprinkles and voilaaaa.

And hopefully tomorrow, I'm going to put a candle on one of these and sing happy birthday to the hottest person in the room. And maybe put a little frosting on his face. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SQUIGGLES I LOVE YOU.
