A Ghost of Daisies

From this recipe again. If you look hard enough, you might be able to see the secret message inscribed in the icing.

My favorite parts of these unfrosted Oreo cupcakes is the fine texture that is a result of the cocoa powder. The second is that there is a whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each cupcake.

I was in a hurry to go to a potluck, so I didn’t have time to make the first batch of cupcakes, take them out, and then reuse the pan. So instead I squashed about 8 Oreos in a sandwich bag with my rolling pin, then put them in this glass pie pan. I then poured the remaining cupcake batter on top to make this delicious dessert!

Made from this recipe.

Using this recipe, I made mint brownies for my boyfriend to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of the top layer of icing which resulted in the brown finished product above. My boyfriend said it was like biting into an Andes mint. I loved making this. The brownie batter was so good that I was licking it off my fingers so I wouldn’t miss any.

I hope you had someone to share the love with today!

I made this beauty for a get together I attended tonight. It’s very heavy on the stomach so only a small slice is required for enjoyment.

Also I’m loving this video of Beyonce from the 2009 European Music Awards. The first few lines are amazing.
