At the moment I've just finished cleaning my flat. The taxi to the airport is ordered (don't be jealous, but YES I am so lucky to be able to travel for work on a Sunday). So I'm left with a quandary, use these few hours to try and catch up on a back-log of blogs I've been meaning to write or try and get some Christmukah shopping in. Knowing how little time I have before I head stateside I was leaning towards attempting the insanity of Oxford Street. Then, remembering I've been complaining this week about being run-down because I'm always, well... running around - I opted for my mental and physical well being instead.
But the reason I'm finding things quite funny at the moment is that while I'm sat here listening to Christmas music and eating my leftover makeshift Thanksgiving dinner (pathetically made around 10 pm Thursday night), I present you with my Halloween themed cupcakes. So much for separation of candy corn, candied yams, and candy canes.
I present to you:
Dirty Worms Cupcakes (devil's food cake* with peanut butter frosting**)
* I replaced the recipe's sour cream with reduced fat creme fraiche
**Cream and cream cheese make this frosting one of the best "eat by the spoonful" varieties I've had in a long time
To give it the Halloween effect I just ground up chocolate wafer cookies and used some juicy little gummy worms in and around them. Mmmm, delicious.
