Hey, Cupcake!

Today was Zane's friend Ashlyn's first birthday. To celebrate, I wanted to make her and her mommy and daddy a couple of cupcakes.

What kind of cupcakes, you ask? Why, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, of course! {This Recipe}

I saw these cupcakes a few days ago on a blog entirely devoted to searching the web and finding cool cupcakes. I haven't been able to stop thinking about them.

So, this morning, I texted my friend Michelle. I told her I wanted to make cupcakes. She asked if she could bring anything. I said no. Then realized that even after a shopping trip specifically for these cupcakes, I was still missing some ingredients.

She is an enormous life saver. She brought over all of my missing ingredients and even ran to the store in the middle of the cupcake-making to pick up the things we ran out of. She's awesome!

I told Michelle to bring a container so she could take half of the cupcakes home with her. She didn't bring a big enough container. The original recipe said that it would make 24 cupcakes. We doubled it so we would each have a nice batch to share with some lucky people. Last time I checked, 24 x 2= 48. Somehow we ended up with closer to sixty. And Michelle only took home twelve.

How delicious do these look? Oh My.

I still haven't tried one yet. Well, to be fair, I have tried the cake, cookie dough filling, and frosting separately. I just haven't had a whole cupcake yet. I'm excited. To say the least. And a little nervous. In case they don't taste as good as they look.

Too bad I already brought Ashlyn her cupcakes with a Birthday note attached. And that we already sent the others off to other friend's houses with this "sweet" note attached.

I hope they are as good as they look!
