Devil's Food Cupcakes - #9

So for our Fall Fest at church last weekend, I made Martha's Devil's Food Cupcakes. MUCH better experience than those Marble Cupcakes. These were really good! Then to make them even better, I scooped out the center with a new gadget I found at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and filled them with some oreo cream filling. De-Lish!

Scoop out the center...

Pipe in your oreo cream filling...

Pop the trimmed off top back on top...I filled them with the oreo cream filling using a simple ziploc bag with the end snipped off. Need the recipe for the oreo cream filling? Click HERE. Then I got to thinking, if I wanted to make it really easy on myself, buy a tub of Cool-Whip and fold in the 10 crushed oreos. (Maybe I'll try that next time.) Next, you need to trim the part you scooped out, or else you'll have cupcakes that look like this top left one in this next picture. Not pretty.

After I topped them, I made a chocolate ganache and dipped them in it, then let them sit for awhile in the fridge to set up. I found a really good chocolate ganache recipe HERE. Last, topped them with some buttercream frosting and a Ghost Peep topper. Yummmmm...

Want to try these on your own... here's the recipe!!!

Halloween Party Table From The News

So, I FINALLY got the pictures off of my wonderful mom's camera from my television debut last Monday. It was so much fun getting it all together and meeting Jennifer Ketchmark and Dave Benton from the WCIA news. So, here is a little closer look at the table scape and all the yummy goodies...

My mother-in-law got this super cute spider web cupcake stand for me at Target. And dear husband added a foam base to the bottom layer for me to poke the Oreo Sucker sticks into.

Here are my Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Marshmallow Ghost Peep toppers. (They also make pumpkin peeps that would be just as cute!)

Yummy Mummy Oreo Suckers... inspired by How Does She?

I used ribbon and these free printables for the Oreo Suckers, too.

My 6-Legged Spider Cupcakes

I made a chocolate cupcake, then filled them with an oreo cream filling.... YUM.

Topped them off with a vanilla buttercream frosting and these are a sure HIT!

I found these cute, FREE, casket printables HERE.

Love the Day for Catch My Party had these free printables for the water bottle labels and mini chocolate wrappers. (Gotta LOVE Love the Day! Especially since I won one of her giveaways that you'll see in an upcoming party soon!)

And here are my Pumpkin Cupcakes with Pumpkin Buttercream Frosting.

And last but not least... here is a link to see my tv debut. I really wish I could narrate it for you, but just know... I had to follow a lady who brought a cat up for adoption that had feline herpes. Yea, you try going on live after that bombshell...

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes #7

My sister-in-law, Kindi, picked out the Cookies & Cream Cheesecakes for her birthday this past weekend. These were super easy, and super yummy! I wish I had thought to take a photo of the insides and the bottoms, as there is a WHOLE oreo on the bottom of the cupcake. I may add a tad more sugar next time to make them a tiny bit sweeter, but these were good... and a hit with the Birthday Girl!
