Might As Well Bake

 Sometimes when you sew
 
 it all goes perfectly.
 O Happy Day!

The next day,
it can be totally different.
What's going on?!#*
What do you do?

On days like that I just walk away
 
and bake.
 O Happy Day!

My daughter, the teacher, needed
treats for the teacher's lounge this week.
Who doesn't like cupcakes? 
So I knew it was time to bake.
I had seen the recipe over
and knew I wanted to try it.

I love Lizzy's ideas because she generally 
starts with a cake mix and doctors it up
by adding good things like 
buttermilk and sour cream.

I started by taking Oreo cookies apart 
and decorating the half without the filling with
white chocolate lettering and edible glitter.

The other half of the cookie
 got placed at the bottom of
the cupcake liner and
the cake batter poured on top.
There's some extra goodness!

I made the cream cheese frosting light green.
I didn't want the teachers walking
around all day with their mouths tinted green.

Then the tombstones were added
to make a fun Halloween treat.

I heard they were a super hit.
A chocolate cupcake
with butter cream frosting,
and a hidden Oreo cookie,
what's not to love.
Happy Halloween.
  Until Next Time-
