Yikes - it's been a while. I know. But, I had a baby, and that kind of takes up some time! Not to say I haven't been sampling cupcakes - I have. But I haven't been writing about it! I have not, however, baked a single thing since my last update in May...sad. But, this weekend, on the eve of returning to glorious Fremont High School to begin my 7th year of teaching, I tied on my favorite apron, and pulled up a Pinterest recipe that made my mouth WATER!!
As I have posted before, I make cupcakes for my students (only 1 class, actually) once a month. I have had a class of students for the last four years - we have had lots of highs and lows together, and this year is their senior year. So, of course, the first cupcakes have to be that much more special than they have been all the other years! This recipe seemed like a good way to bid farewell to a glorious summer, filled with trips, relaxation and most importantly, the birth of my amazing daughter. And also a sweet ringing in of a new year - one that will surely be full of adventures both at school and at home.
On Pinterest, the poster said that she decided on French Vanilla cupcakes so as not to be too overly sweet. WHAT? How is that even possible? I followed the OG recipe and went cookie dough - top to bottom: Frosting, Inside Stash and Cake. And the result? These are the best cupcakes I have EVER made. Ever.
They are so good, in fact, that I am making them for two events I have coming up this weekend!
The recipe can be found here - lots of dishes and lots of steps, but so worth it. (And the batter and frosting are yummy too!!)
