Fondant Stamping is a beautiful thing.

I stamped fondant for the first time ever, and I’m pretty happy with the result.
Of course, the stamp I used is adorable! Already loved stamps anyway, but never used them. Do you?

It’s yet another cool thing you can do with Fondant. Of course you can buy fondant “texturers” almost anywhere, but searching for cools things around the house seems more fun.

Check some the links for yourself, its very cool.

Mini Bruce Lee against Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes

Can he take him?I’ve been on a peanut butter kick lately and I was dieing to bake something with it.

So, dear reader, before you think you think what?!? Never baked with peanut butter?!?! Let me reiterate that I spent twenty years of my life in Brasil (I’m 29), and peanut butter isn’t really eaten in that country AND from the 4 years I’ve been back to the US, I just recently started baking. So many things that my full time American friends take for granted, such as making cookies, brownies and etc are brand new experiences to me.Jam

Was this a tangent? I think it was. I just feel guilty I’ve only made cookies ONCE my whole life. I think I need therapy…

Or maybe mini Bruce Lee can help me? Can he beat that cupcake?!?!? Of course! He’s mini Bruce Lee!!!

So,

as I was saying before, I baked half a batch of peanut butter cupcakes, sans the peanut butter cups, and filled mine with Black Berry Jam. :) They were yummy, that is definetely a recipe I’m keeping.

Maybe I’ll make them for cupcake camp. Which I am excited to say I decided to bake AND volunteer in!

What did I learn this time you say?

Hmmm let me see:

  • Those Cookie Scoops are indeed useful and practical and I need one.
  • The Adjust-A-Cup is great as well, and this I already have.
  • I shouldn’t post on a caffeine rush.

Today I will share with you what cupcakes look like when you’re already a little tired.

The Rainbow Sherbet one was frosted with leftover frosting from all the other cupcakes! It looks very cute in retrospect. Very 80s Lisa Frank! And the crazy strawberry madness in the back was my cover up for the over whipped Chocolate Ganache (Chocolate Butter!)

There is only one bullet today:

  • In retrospect the ugly cupcakes aren’t too bad.
