Important Life Lessons: Doritos & Fluff

January 25, 2010 in Thoughts by Moye | 1 comment

Almost a year ago, I decided that it would be good to write down all the life lessons that I came across in…well…life, but that didn’t get very far, because I hadn’t written anything since. Perhaps I just haven’t learned anything since then?

Well, Lisa and I encountered one the other day, during our Giant Cupcake Baking Adventure: cheesy Doritos do not go well with marshmallow fluff.

Not only do the tastes mix horribly, but Doritos also leave nasty orange marks in what should be a pristine white jar of marshmallow gunk. However, apparently sweet potato chips partner nicely with fluff dip.

So there.

Giant Cupcake Baking Adventure

January 25, 2010 in baking, food, Thoughts by Moye | 3 comments

Yesterday, Lisa and I embarked on a crazy and wild adventure where our goal was to bake a giant cupcake. (It’s 25 times the size of a normal cupcake!) I’m happy to say that we accomplished this with much success (and oozing and explosion).

So I’d like to present to you our giant S’Mores cupcake, made from Mark Bittman’s Simple Chocolate cake recipe, stuffed with marshmallow fluff, topped with vanilla buttercream frosting and decorated with graham crackers–ALL MADE FROM SCRATCH!! Well, except for the graham crackers and fluff.

No, we’re not sure how it tasted because by the time we were done, the fluff filling kept oozing out and it just seemed too sad to destroy a giant cupcake that we had spent all afternoon making.

Really, giant cupcakes are really hard to put together. Also, this cupcake was NOT 25 times larger than a regular cupcake. Whoever designed this pan clearly never enjoyed an actual cupcake from Sprinkles or Magnolia, because we estimated that maybe this cupcake was more like 5 times larger than normal.

More photos after the jump!
