Cakey Brownie Chocolatey Goodness

Browni

So this crazy mess in the picture is delicious.  Yesterday I tried out doubling the brownie mixture from the Marshmallow Brownie cupcakes.  It is really yum, but much more of a cake consistency than brownie base it makes using the original quantities.  I then tried out this heart cutter that Karyn got me from America but when I moved the hearts to get them in the picture I broke ‘em.  Fail.  I reckon multiplying the brownie mixture by four would make the most awesome cake, so that is the next thing I am going to try with this recipe.

Also, yesterday in the mail I received a cute little package that I had ordered from Cloth Kits in the UK.  They make up and send out sewing kits; everything is already printed on the fabric and they give you the thread needed too.  So, this is another project to work on when I get some spare time (or when I am not exhausted from being back at work).  I love receiving stuff in the mail – just like presents on Christmas.  Oh, and look at the ruler ribbon – sew cute!  And, they stock some stuff designed for them by Rob Ryan.  LOVE!  (I’m quite in love with paper cutting and he is one of the leaders in this artistic field).

Halloween Cupcakes

Halloween
Since it’s Halloween this weekend I broke out the goodies Karyn bought me back from America and made some cupcakes using a devilishly good Betty Crocker ‘Devil’s Cake Mix’. Thank you for the treats Karyn – hope you enjoyed your cupcake!

We received presents :)

Karyn, one of the awesome people that Courtenay and I work with, went to America in the holidays.  And she brought us back gifts!

Courtenay got a heap of Halloween themed stuff; cupcake cases, goodie bags and… striped icing.  I got some baking cups (one set looks like flowers) and some cake cutters.  I’ve already put the purple cases to use – a post about that at a later date :P

Thanks Karyn, you’re the best!

p.s. Karyn has a cute sewing blog.  I suggest you check it out.
