Well I’m into Day 2 of my week off and already boredom has set in. I’ve done the shopping, some cleaning and even baked.
Yesterday I made some lush Turkish Delight cakes, which I’ve already told you about. Never tried them before but I must say the end result turned out OK…no complaints from all those that tried them!
Today I decided after much deliberation and my youngest banging on about making something that she likes that Oreo would be a good decision.
Pretty much followed the same recipe as for the Turkish delight just substituted the TD for Oreo biscuits. I popped a large one in the bottom of the cases and then plopped the mixture on top. Must say I’m very pleased with the result. With the butter cream I mixed in some crushed Oreo biscuits. However I obviously hadn’t crushed them to enough of a pulp as the first one I started to pipe, a nice little chunk of Oreo got stuck in my nozzle. No probs, bigger nozzle, new piping bag and back to the job in hand. They don’t look too grand, a little dull but they’ve had the seal of approval off Steph; thoroughly enjoyed!
I like Oreo biscuits but I always think of them going with a nice glass of cold milk to dunk them in. Mmm reminds me of when I was young...a glass of milk and a pack of chocolate digestives...delish!!
Told the hubby my plans and let’s say he wasn’t amused at the thought of Oreo cupcakes so I baked him up a little batch of Lemon and Poppyseeds. Fingers crossed he likes the taste of them.
Seems that the house is a little overloaded with cakes so I popped a box down to Richards work earlier; let’s say I was greeted with open hands and the box was opened as soon as I put it on the table.Ive got a busy day tomorrow and it doesn’t include baking cakes. My mums got a hospital appointment at the eye clinic, so I’ll be out nice and early and no time to think about being bored!

My goodness, your frosting presentation is gorgeous! Having only recently wandered into the Cupcake Path, I am at a loss when it comes to decorating mine. Just like a kid learning to paint likes to look at the masters, I enjoy looking at well crafted frostings. Yours are lovely.

Thank you for that..it took me quite a while and many failed cupcakes before I got it right for me. Lots of You Tubes videos whilst my piping bag was in hand. I’m still learning and thus week I’ve started practicing with a petal tube…not the easiest but I won’t give up!
You’ll get there and surprisingly soon, keep going it’s lots of fun 😃x
