"feauxstess" fun!

hello my pretties!

happy friday!

hip hip hooray.

so i am sharing my first baking FAIL.

yep. big time.

i had a baking request. a request for hostess filled cuppies.

i was like, easy. done. complete.

well, settle down little soldiers. not as easy as i thought.

(that's what happens when i get cocky.)

so princess # 3 and i have decided that we will attempt a new

cupcake flavor once a week.

we pretend we are on cupcake wars...

lol...kidding....

it is fun. girl bonding. delicious.

AND

fattening.

(oh well.....everything is good in moderation, right?!)

so off we went to start our 'feauxstess' creation.

we used a dark fudge cake mix for starters.

i always 'dr' up a cake mix.

i will bake cakes with "REAL" ingredients,

BUT....in a pinch, a good box cake mix is ok to use.

add some pudding, extra butter (yep the real dealio)

an extra egg....don't get too crazy.....but you get the idea, right friends?!?

bake. cool. fill.

use this filling if you want:

it is so yummy and creamy!

then make your GANACHE.

insert, this is where the major fail occured.

i tried to double the ganache recipe. i tried to wing it. i tried to eyeball it.

der. de. der.

(blonde girls should NEVER just wing it)

womp. womp. womp.

my ganache never set. it was a pool of runniness. eww. even sounds yucky.

i laughed about it. i said the boy and i were going to paint ourselves in in later.

LOL.

(kidding)

i tried to chill it and see if it would set.

(you all know how incredibly impatient i am)

it finally got a teeny weeny bit thicker. not much.

THEN.......my white icing for the little scroll on top, well, i made that too thick.

ARRGGHHH.

it.

was.

not.

a.

good.

cupcake.

baking.

night.

oh well....we cant always be perfect....

here's ONE....

i repeat.....

ONE.....

and then....the boy.....

dropped the frosting bag on the only one that turned out....and RUINED it.

good thing we REALLY were not on cupcake wars!!!

yeppppp! that's it, lovies....before the frosting bag dropped on it.

the only one flipping cuppie that actually turned out.

next week was going to be red velvet.....but i can not stand failure. we HAVE to

make these AGAIN.

have YOU ever had a baking fail?!?

linking up with these lovelies.....



have a fantabulous weekend!

love you.

bye.
