What’s a girl to do when she finds this at the store?
What’s a girl to do when she finds the plain chocolate cupcakes with plain chocolate frosting that her hubby requested pretty darn boring?
Add a Reese’s to the bottom and some M&M’s on the top of the next batch!
And what’s a girl to do when she’s just dying to know how her little Reese’s on the bottom experiment worked out? Cut one in half and give it a whirl!
What’s a girl to do when she has 24 cupcakes sitting in her pantry? Share the wealth! Work friends…get excited!
They don’t make Reese’s the same size as the bottom of a muffin tin for no reason!
Oh, and what’s a girl to do when it’s 11pm and she needs to photograph said cupcakes for her blog? Use the flash and pray her readers look past it 🙂
Happy Monday!

PS…The cupcakes may have come from a box…but that frosting is homemade! 1 stick of butter, 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of cocoa and 2 Tbsp skim milk. Cream the butter until smooth, sift in the cocoa and powdered sugar and beat until well mixed. Add the milk until desired consistency is reached!

I would have used store-bought frosting I’m sure…so no need to defend it. [But props to you for making it yourself!]

Mmmm what a good idea! I’m totally buying photography lighting this week. The dark early thing is depressing me, by the time I get home to cook it’s already dark! No shot dinner’s ready while there’s still valuable light.
Lindsay says
i know! i need to make a lightbox
