How to eat a cupcake

This is how you eat a cupcake apparently. Personally I think any of the options are acceptable but then I’m just awfully uncouth.

I made some bunting out of hot cross buns. This combines the two things I love the most; baking and portmanteaus. Actually that's a lie, I prefer cups of tea to portmanteaus but combining tea and baking has been done many times before and this is less interesting. I digress.

I used the fabulous baker brothers hot cross bun recipe but didn't pay much attention to how crazy picky they get over the right type of salt or precise grams. Geeze they are lovely guys but I do not have enough care to pay attention to brushing my hair in the morning let along weighing out precise grams. So here is the Holly 'and not a single f**k was given that day' version. It worked just dandy.

Irenea Colada Shooter

So myself and my bro are in Manhatten, battening down the hatches for hurricane Irene and decided that we needed Pina Coladas in order to survive. Unfortunatly we only had a few picks of rum in the shop, I know, disaster right? Then the idea came to create a special sort of cocktail just for Irene. Thus the Irenea Colada Shooter was born. And yes we did go out in the hurricane especially for cocktail umbrellas. Yup, smart.

Le Recipe:

Layer up some of the white pina colada mix, then the blue stuff, then the rums
Put in an upside down umbrella
Mix the start around until you have a mini white stuff tornado in your shooter
Drink said shooter trying not to poke yourself in the eye with the umbrella
Repeat until you are drunk enough to be the annoying drunk in a hurricane

Cake Pillow + Pillow Cake

Is it a pillow that’s a cake or a cake that’s a pillow? Well only one of them is edible but you could snooze on both is you really wanted to, it is sponge after all. Chortle chortle!

Meta-Pizza

This ‘pizza’ is made entirely from pizza flavored crap. I call it crap because everything that is pizza flavor does tend to taste like crap IMO. Anyways to go with this meta-pizza creation I made this Yo Dawg. It kinda works. If you want more info on what godforsaken junk food features in this pile of artificial flavorings so you can make your own artery clogging E-number-fest then check out mpls.tv. Personally just looking at this is making me want salad for tea… well nearly.

How to Make F***King Awesome Brownies and Cookies

CaptainRioDijon has made these slightly rude but totally informative recipe videos. Mmm baileys brownies and coffee cookies. It s a bit like EpicMealTime but less epic, sans bacon and much more high pitched.
