Foolish Morsel

Well, you don’t have to, these are cuppies, after all!  Today Owen had his birthday party at Brunswick Zone. It’s a busy place, lots of fun, but not a good place to wield a sharp knife, so cuppies and dibs (yeah, those lil’ ice cream thingies with magic shell on ‘em) are the best choice for a six year old’s birthday! I made Star Wars vanilla cupcakes with cheesecake flavored pudding for the kids (Owen’s Mace Windu was a little too big to stand on his Jumbo cupcake), and banana cupcakes for the grown ups.  Both had cream cheese icing and the banana had pecans as well…Actually, I modified the recipe from my friend Sandi (a few posts ago) for cupcakes: replace the half and half with buttermilk, take the temp down to 350, for a hair under 20 minutes, and fill the cups HALF WAY, no more, about 10 minutes in they rise, pretty high!  I used the candy cups for them, but you can use a cupcake pan as well…There were also vanilla minis with cream cheese icing just in case the normal size was too much!  I get to make another cake on Tuesday, for Owen’s actually birthday..Yummy!
