Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes this weekend because I had an awesome new recipe I found for cookies and cream icing and I couldn't wait to try it out. I thought I would dress these boys up with a little tux since Oreos can be dressed up or dressed down. Who doesn't like Oreos?!?

This is what a bride wanted for her wedding cake.

This is what she received.

Happy Easter Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my family on Easter weekend. They are lemon cake with lemon cream cheese icing, gum paste daisies and chocolate crosses. Everyone thought these were a big hit and I thoroughly enjoyed making them. A lot of firsts for me. The cupcake wrappers were made from paper doilies you can find at any craft store. Happy Easter!

Banana Bread

I have had several people ask for this recipe. It is a very moist bread.

Preheat oven to 325º.

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

3 ripe bananas, mashed

Hint: When bananas get too ripe, put them into a gallon bag and place into the freezer for the next time you want to make banana bread. They will turn black in the freezer but they are still good inside. Allow bananas to thaw on the counter for several hours before making the bread.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients and blend well. Add bananas mixing well with a spoon. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8 inch loaf pans. Bake at 325º for 55 minutes.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

These are one of my very favorite last-minute sweet craving recipes. So easy to make and are very delicious. 

Cook Time: 20 minutes

14 oz. sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups quick cooking rolled oats

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350º.

Combine sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter; stir to blend then set aside. Combine brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, soda, salt and butter. Mix well.

Pat 1/2 of mixture in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.

Drizzle with peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Top with remaining crumbs. Bake about 20 minutes.
