Skull and Crossbone Cupcake Tattoos Win CQ Over!
I found a fantastic new product at Michael's last week: The Duff (Ace of Cakes) Goldman Collection that features more than 70 products, including fun decorating supplies like fondant, frosting, baking pans...and wait for it...cake tattoos!!!
That's what the skull and crossbones is from...edible tattoos...you can see that Layla was intrigued!
You can find all of the great "Duff" products at your local Michaels store. Go there. The online version doesn't do it justice!
The tattoos were very easy to work with...you can use them on cakes and cupcakes and templates are provided.
Layla says go there now!!
See you soon!

Champagne Cupcakes with Kir Royale Frosting
Layla is watching this cupcake very closely! The recipe for this cupcake is from Crazy About Cupcakes by Krystina Castella.
When I made the frosting I added some Creme de Cassis to the champagne to make it more like a Kir Royale...my fav drink!
Here's the recipe:
Champagne Cupcakes (I got 20 cupcakes out of this recipe)
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup champagne (the sweeter the better � even strawberry would be great!!)
6 egg whites
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, and then blend into creamed mixture alternately with champagne.
In another large clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into batter to lighten it, then fold in remaining egg whites. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Champagne Buttercream Icing
Ingredients:
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1-1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons champagne (I did two tablespoons champagne and 1 tablespoon Creme de Cassis)
4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directors:
In a large bowl beat the shortening and butter until combined. Add the champagne. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. If necessary, add additional champagne to achieve desired consistency.
Hope you have a great week...and so does Layla!

Week 2 of the Washington Post Cupcake Wars!
Okay! This week the Washington Post has pitted "Buzz" (in Alexandria, VA) against "Pasteries by Randolph" in Arlington, VA. They really like the Buzz vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting...pictured above. They rated it 5.5 out of 10, whereas the Pastries by Randolph red velvet was only give a 3.5 out of 10. Yikes...these people are rough!
These pictures are making me hungry! Tonight I'm making a special cupcake I've never tried before.
Oh, did I tell you that I won the family football pool this past weekend...mostly because picked Maryland and nobody else did!
