Pupcakes

I’m starting a category called “Not Vegan and Not Very Healthy” because the bulk of things I’ve been posting here lately are vegan, but Laura’s baking isn’t and sometimes I eat non-vegan breakfast and the like. This is why I say, “I eat mostly vegan.” Simple as that. I win. Besides, these could be easily veganized.

Anyway, I think Laura should start her own cupcake business? Why? Because of this:

If you didn’t look at those and smile, then you are a cold-blooded, heartless monster. Especially the black one at the top with the white eye. Awwww!

They were:
3/4 c flour
3/4 t baking powder
pinch of salt
1/3 c white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened at room temp
1 t vanilla
1/4 c milk
Bake in an oversize cupcake pan (6 cups on a pan instead of 12) at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. But when using the enormous cupcake pans, you have to watch them closely.

Frosting:
1 stick of butter, softened,
3 cups powdered sugar,
2 T milk
2 t vanilla.
Mix the frosting together and separate them into bowls to do different colors. Put them in frosting bags with different tips to make different fur textures. The eye balls are blobs of white frosting and black gel. The ears are graham crackers cut into triangles, and she put frosting on some of them. The tongues are Bubble Tape bubble gum that she used kitchen shears to shape.

It’s important to note that these cupcakes were inspired by Murphy.

He looks thrilled to have a cupcake made in his image, doesn’t he?

Yeah.
