Paragraphs, Pie Plates and Pictures...

I have already said I love cupcakes.  We are not surprised by this.  I was surprised, however, by the utter bliss I experienced after sampling one of the Peanut Butter Cupcakes the incomparable Ms. Stewart told me how to make.

In her guide to all things cupcake, Martha Stewart’s “Cupcakes” book is continuing to leave me in a state of shock and awe.  The intricacies of some of the cupcakes are insane and something that I need excessive schooling in order to complete, but there is the odd one that is simpler.  Like Peanut Butter Cupcakes with a Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting.

As I combined the ingredients, I was already thinking, “these are gonna be crap.”  Not positive thinking, I am aware.  Though my track record has been less than perfect, and let’s face it, when it comes to cooking I am a perfectionist.

Then I took the baked cupcakes out of the oven… and they looked perfect.  You couldn’t punch the smile off my face.  Then I made the frosting.

Once again, bulletproof smile.

These things are godly… unreal.

Look.

Pictures.

Cupcake.

Good.

Peanut butter.

Bye.
