Martha Stewart Cupcake Club: Cookies & Cream

I don't even know where to start with these. They are just great. I make them all the time.

I made these the day Jack was born (I'm pretty sure I was in labour while they were in the oven). I also made a mini version of these once and instead of putting an Oreo on the bottom I made a crust and it looked like a nest with cream cheese goodness inside.

I wouldn't change anything in this recipe. I love it just the way it is.

Since I have made these a few times already, I thought I would try a different Oreo cupcake. I'm making these.

P.S. I realize I haven't posted in a while but we moved (AGAIN). And now that we are settled and I have my mixer and big red back, I am ready to rock!! And once I find my camera cord I'll share what I've been doing lately.

Martha Stewart Cupcake Club: FAIL

I am so embarassed!! I attempted to make Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes this month and they turned out HORRIBLE!! I'm not even posting a picture-they went straight to the garbage
I don't even know where I went wrong. I bought special chocolate, I was very careful not to over mix the egg whites, I let the chocolate cool before I added the yolks, I timed them in the oven

The end result was not good

sigh

MARTHA STEWART CUPCAKE CLUB!!!

I LOVE everything Martha and was so excited when I found a club that makes her cupcakes each month!!

This month was STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES with Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I got fresh strawberries at the market on the weekend and couldnt wait to use them!
I kept the recipe the same but if I were to make them again I would change the icing to more of a frosting than meringue. Mmmmm...frosting...

I knew the cupcakes were good when someone threatened to throw me out of the house if I made anything like it again...so I gave a few to the neighbours.

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT MONTH
