So I was asked to make some cupcakes for my friend's brother's birthday and he loves pikachu. I decided to make some white chocolate drawings of pikachu with red sprinkles for his cheeks and use them as a topper for the cupcakes. I didn't know that his ears were so long....those big ears would not fit into the cupcake container I was using so I broke 3 of the 5 pikachu drawings I had made!(for that exactly reason, I knew it would happen....) I ended up with ok looking cupcakes but I wish they would have been able to see the whole body....
I was also thinking of making some pikachu cakepops so I looked online to see if any other blogs or if bakerella had any good ideas on how to fashion a pikachu pop, but they we either marshmallows or a little strange looking. I just went with it and made 1 really fat pikachu pop that hopefully looked decent enough for consumption. It was fun and maybe with some more practice I'll be able create a more acceptable pikachu cakepop. 1st try = fat pikachu with long ears
The other task was making peanut butter chocolate cupcakes, which I have never done before. I started out with my usual ingredients but when I added that peanut butter....omg it was heavenly....so good. I remembered why peanut butter was so delicious all over again. I made another layer of cocoa and nutella for the chocolate portion, added a chocolate swirl, sprinkled the top with roasted peanuts for some crunch, and a graham cracker goldfish for cuteness... I think I added a little too much sugar, but it was really tasty....I will definitely be making peanut butter cupcakes again!
WELL that's all for the baking adventure today! See you another cake away.
