DIY Weekend

This past weekend was chocked full of making…..baking, cooking and the next steps of our beermaking project (will post about that later).  Since Saturday was Valentines Day, I decided to make dinner and some sweets.  Let’s just say, I was in the kitchen all day and my feet were hurtin’! 

red velvet by you.

I made a batch of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Yeah, I know cream cheese is not the traditional frosting for red velvet, but I just had to break the rules.

My cupcake army…

sugar cookies by you.

I also made  heart shaped sugar cookies….most were iced, but left some to be topped with the cream cheese frosting.

Some homemade pizza followed…and I was exhausted.  I think it will be quiet in the kitchen next weekend…but I make no guarantees.

Guinness Cupcakes

guinness cupcakes by you.

Yeah, that’s right.   Guinness cupcakes with a simple buttercream frosting.  I love making beer bread, so why not add a bottle to some cupcakes?  I think I am defintely going to experiment with other beers, flavors, etc… maybe do something beer-y with the frosting…

oh, cupcake, you are my friend…

Happy Halloween!

I hope you all are having a lovely Halloween… and eating lots of treats!  I plan to go into a diabetic coma soon…

homemade PB cups by you.

Here’s some homemade PB cups I made last night.  They were a bit of work (with the tempering and all), but I think they turned out.

So get over here and help me eat them.

OOooooooOOOOoooooOooooOOOOO! (that’s my scary ghost sound)
