Today is 'the boys' birthday. I suppose therefore I should start to call him by his actual name, which is Nick.
Happy Birthday Nick!
Yesterday as he asked me so nicely I decided to make him some 'Cookies 'N' Cream' cupcakes...
'Remember when you were a kid and you used to dunk those cookies in a tall glass of cold milk? Well, this is the cupcake version'
This involves a cupcake containing sandwich biscuits (in my case I used custard creams) single cream and vanilla extract. The topping is called 'white chocolate cream cheese frosting' which kind of grosses me out a little, I mean why would you want to put creamy cheese in a cupcake?!
I had a taste of the actual cake part once I'd baked them and it smelt delicious and tasted even better! But as for the topping I'm not so sure, my mum & Nick said it tastes a bit like cheesecake... which I suppose is probably what it's suppose to taste like but I'm not a fan of cheesecake, partly just because it sounds bizarre, and I usually a massive fan of cheese.
On the plus said everyone else seems to like them quite a lot, either that or they're just trying to be nice...
I did have a bit of a cock mess up though, I was simply mixing butter and sugar together and got a little bit impatient and put them in the microwave which resulted in runny buttery sugar, whoops!
But apart from that little dilemma (which I fixed by starting all over again) they didn't turn out too bad, they look pretty good you have to admit...
The oreos were Nicks choice, but you can use any sandwich cookie!
there is still hope for me yet...
