Started to show friends a new pair of shoes, but expanded to include updates on my knitting and important events, as well as ramblings on life, the universe, and everything. (If you can't see a picture, click on it to make it bigger!)

Great Cupcake Extravaganza

So, you've seen the pictures of the giant cupcake cake-form that we got a few weeks ago.... well, John and I finally broke down and tried it out. We both wanted to avoid work and bake something. :) We did use the "from scratch" recipe on the inside of the label, so it was a total experiment. Though, we did not make our own icing, not wanting to go that far.

End Results:
1 - Quite delicious the first day, but make sure you securely store it, or else it gets very dry.
2 - Much fun to be had, and much easier than expected.
3 - Great idea for birthday or party where you will eat it all in one sitting (see #1)



You need to level the pieces so you can assemble them later. Of course we ate them!



Ginormous cupcake parts.



Chocolate Spackle.



Giant chocolate bullet!



We may have gone overboard with the toppings....



John wanted to eat it whole.



But I satisfied him with just one piece.
