Aaaah Sunday was a fabulous day. A good friend Tessa came across and we literally spent almost 6 hours cooking. But oh my, what a massive cook-up it was! First, for lunch, we had a absolutely divine Thai coconut rice and lime coriander shrimp lunch which we pulled from a Reader's Digest's 'Weekend Meals'. Ooooooh it was soooo divine. But using this yummy cupcake recipe, we decided we wanted to make... wait for it.... wwwwaaait forrr itttttt.... cookie monster cupcakes! Last summer, I tried these awesome, delicious, silly-looking cookie monster cupcakes and ever since, I've been so excited to make them! This, however, calls for the immense task of making the perfect cupcakes and cookies, which we all know is a tremendously stressful for my psyche. The cupcakes turned out beautifully for a recipe that didn't ask for butter but it did fall a little low. So Tessa ingeniously cut the paper down, cut the cupcake a bit, shoved in the cookie. Put on some frosting (keeping me away from it was difficult) with some white chocolate eyes and a drop of chocolate syrup and voila! cookie monstaaaa! Alright, so we didn't realize Canada doesn't have white chocolate Buttons so we had to melt down some bits in a double-boiler. And me, being all experimental, tried adding milk to the melted chocolate but anyway, such a disaster. They look so crazy, these cupcakes, but HEY. For a first time, I think we did quite brilliantly! :) Tessa, you're a doll. And to Matt and Sarah for their encouraging "ooooooh, is that what they are?"... you guys are precious. Until next time, mes cheries....
Cheers,
The Baker's Apprentice.
