So Do it!!

So Do It!!

Quote of the Day:

The way to find out how much you can do, is to do it. The way to know how far you can go, is to get going.

Most of what you see as impossible is impossible only because you think it is. Stop over-analyzing it, start doing it, and let youractions define what is possible.

If you truly knew all that you were capable of achieving, you would never hesitate to step forward. The positive possibilities have no limit, so don't impose your own limits on them.

Instead, get busy exploring and expressing the best of those possibilities. Here you are, with dreams, with abilities to use, so do it.

Find out just how strong and capable you are be putting your strength to a meaningful test. See how much you can do by watching yourself.

Dare to dream, and then dare to act on those dreams. Real, fulfilling, meaningful value is yours to create right now, so get busy and do it!!

May your day be filled with

Glitter and Happiness!!

Cookie Monster, and Happiness

Cookie Monster!!

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter, softened

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin/cupcake pan or line with paper baking cups.

In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each one. Stir in the vanilla and flour just until mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.

After the cupcakes have cooled, you’re ready for the fun part! Let’s decorate!!

There are a variety of ways to create the blue fur of the Cookie Monster on a cupcake. You can use blue sanding sugar, blue frosting, blue sprinkles, and/or coconut flakes tinted blue. Any craft store with a cake and candy aisle will have all that you need to get the right color blue. Tip: use the brightest blue you can find. Paste food coloring works best to get the richest, deepest colors. It works just like regular food coloring drops. You just add as much as you need to white frosting.

Frost each cupcake with blue frosting. Then, add the sprinkles, sanding sugar, or coconut.

Next the mouth – make a small horizontal slit in the top of the cupcake for the cookie. Stick 1/2 of a chocolate chip cookie in it just like Cookie Monster would eat. Now add some googley eyes. You can use mini white marshmallows or white chocolate rounds and a chocolate chip for the pupil.

Enjoy like the cookie monster would!

Cupcakes! Fun! and Art!!

Cherry Coke Cupcakes

Recipe adapted from Annie's Eats
Makes 24 cupcakes

Cake:
3 cups all purpose flour
6 T cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups Coke (don't use diet)
3 tsp vanilla extract
1 can cherry pie filling

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pans with liners or spray with baking spray. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa in a bowl and set aside.

In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine sugar and butter and beat on medium-high until light and creamy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating about 1 minute after each. In a large mixing cup or small bowl, combine buttermilk, Coke and vanilla extract. (Make sure you wait for the foam to go down when measuring the Coke and don't worry if your mixture looks curdled when you add the buttermilk.)

Beginning with the dry ingredient mix, add in 4 parts to the butter mixture, alternating with the Coke mixture. Beat each addition just until incorporated.

Use a cookie scoop or piping bag to transfer the batter to the muffin tins, filling each tin about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops spring back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center cupcake comes out clean. Cool about 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, use a paring knife to cut out a cone shape in the middle of each cupcake. Add a spoonful of cherry mixture (2-3 cherries) to the well.

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 T Coke

Mix together with a whisk in a small bowl. The mixture should run slowly off a spoon so you can drizzle the cupcakes but it won't run all over the place.

Icing:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 T powdered sugar
Maraschino Cherries for garnish

Beat cream in a chilled bowl with whisk attachment or hand mixer on low speed. Begin adding sugar, 1 spoonful at a time, increasing speed as the cream comes together. Whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks, if you dip a spoon in it, the whipped cream should stay on the spoon when you turn it upside down. Pipe the whipped cream onto cupcakes as desired and top with maraschino cherries for garnish.
