Believe it or not I have pictures!!!!! Okay, the cupcake in the middle is my little cutie--Daughter #5! You thought I was talking about the cupcake, eh?
Cupcakes have never been my favorite to bake, or any confections for that matter. I much rather make a huge Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings that make a pan of brownies from a box. I just don't like making sweets...weird, huh? Anyway, back to the cupcakes, I always thought the liners were boring! You know, plain pastel colors, yuk! BUT I was so excited when I saw that Kroger's carried designer liners!!!!! So I started making cupcakes for my nesters! {i know, other places carry designer liners, but i never look any place else except Kroger's!}
Now, the cupcake cake...I saw the pan at Michael's and just had to have it. Okay, that's not totally true, I thought it was adorable and wanted it. A friend gave me a 50% off coupon and I bought it last week. Perfect for birthdays along with extra cupcakes in designer liners!!! The pan has two 'sides' to it, one side for the 'cake' mold and the other for the 'icing' mold. I cut and layered the bottom of the cake. The white icing is homemade cream cheese icing, and the 'icing' cake top is canned chocolate mixed with leftover cream cheese icing. {i am not much of a decorator when it comes to cakes, i do much better with cards and crafts} Anyway, for my first time working with it, and being HOT in the kitchen...it had to bake at 325 for 60 minutes, then the regular cupcakes for 20 minutes, not too bad. It was yummy!
