A work wedding shower...
My coworker and friend, Lauren, is getting married on New Years Eve. We decided to throw her a small shower at work to celebrate the big day! Lauren is using a shade of purple for her wedding colors, so I thought the Lavendar Brownie Cupcakes from the Martha Stewart Cupcake Cookbook would be perfect. First of all, the brownie recipe is to die for. So. Flipping. Delicious. Then, the lavendar icing added such a subtle spice punch. Fantastically indulgent. Martha added sugared edible flowers to the top, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that. So instead, I simply piped the Bride and Groom's initials onto them. Not as pretty.
The recipe says that it should yield 24 cupcakes. After making one batch, it seems to only yield 12. So, I had to make another. Turns out I just put too much batter into each cupcake liner. I used the same scoop I use for regular cupcakes, and I think I should have used about half that batter. However, still delicious...
Congratulations, Lauren and Shawn. Can't wait to rock out with you on New Year's Eve!
