Cookies and Cream

I love cream cheese icing... seriously in college instead of real food I would buy a tub of it and eat it out of the jar. But tonight was my first time making it from scratch. It was so good... i ate a little too much and not all my cupcakes got iced (oh well). So I decided on making cookies and cream cupcakes for that reason.... and my kids at school requested them =)

These little cupcakes are very sweet! My kids will love them (I hope)!

These cookie cupcakes have half an

 oreo on the bottom off them, 

as well as the oreos crumbled 

into the batter!.

I loved the crunch

 that the cookies added to the cake

The baked cakes! The cream from the oreos help keep the cakes super moist
during their VERY long bake time.

Half iced and some started to be decorated!!!!

The finished cupcake! 

Amazing... Seriously this was so good! I love the cookies in the batter, and of course my favorite cream cheese icing!






I hope my kids like them tomorrow!

and so it begins...

I'm guessing I am having some sort of quarter life crisis... after changing careers, going back to school, getting married(all in one year), you can see why. I have always loved to bake, but now, it is different. Baking is one of the few things that actually makes me happy, so now it is my quest to become the best baker EVER. I would love to own my own upscale cupcake bakery one day, so here I am one cupcake at a time, on the quest to become the best.

Tonight's journey.....

The Pink Champagne Cupcake:
Oh my, this is the best thing I have ever eaten. The cake is so lightweight and the icing is sweet and tart at the same time. My only problem with the recipe was that the icing was really thin and falls right off the cake. So the next time I make them, I will add 1/2 cup more of powdered sugar to thicken it up.

I'll post a picture of the finished product once everything is perfect!!!!!
