It was my best friend in the entire world's birthday last week, and sadly - we couldn't spend it together. So I went to visit her this past weekend for a birthday re-celebration with her family. She had asked me the month prior to her birthday to make her some special cupcakes (last year, I made her Princess Aurora). I started to brainstorm of something cool to do - but I knew what would make her happiest. We bonded over a few inside jokes in middle school, and one of them was Milkyways!
So I made her Milkyway flavored cupcakes - I melted down Milkyway bars, folded them into the cupcake batter, and made a chocolate butter cream. As you bit into the full cupcake, it was as if a Milkyway exploded! I was quite proud of them... I am looking forward to making some other candy bar cupcakes in the future, so stay tuned and bake on!
Yuuuuuum! Have you experimented baking with the book I had gifted you? Great book for inspiration. Can u tell I am back to blogging. Ok, 100 more people to catch up comment on ; )
ReplyDeleteMilkyways are my favorite candy bar! Can I please have the recipe?
ReplyDeleteSure thing Samantha! I actually found the recipe from "Confessions from a Cookbooks Queen" - you can find it here - http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/2010/05/milky-way-cupcakes/
ReplyDeleteThanks to Pinterest, I usually experiment with the recipes. And I also go a little heavy handed on the sweets to make it a bit tastier!
