Yummy in my tummy (and everywhere else)

So tonight's Sunday treats were cupcakes. Sundays I tend to watch or at least have Food Network on. Well today they had a show on called Cupcake Wars so it got me in the mood to try making my own cupcakes from scratch. I have been doing this a lot lately (making things from scratch that is) and it has been working out pretty good. So today I decided to tackle the cupcake. I thought I would go pretty basic since it was a first but still make it a little fancy :) So I went with a chocolate cupcake with cream inside, it was a big hit.

 As with any type of dessert batter, especially anything that contains chocolate, anything that is left in the bowl often gets licked up. Now just to make a clear point, this is only done when I am all done with the batter so there are no fingers or licks as it is being used.

 As you can see Sup is very much enjoying this part of the taste test. I know this might be odd that I'm an RD and I let my kids do this. But one I always use fresh eggs which is the major safety point, and he always gets more on him then in him.

 After the cupcakes were baked it was on to making the cream filling. This made the cupcakes pretty amazing, and Sup was all over this filling. He was more content with just the filling...who needs a cupcake??

Of course it was made with marshmallow cream so he was a bit of a sticking mess. If I was thinking I should have just taken his shirt off, but it was nothing a good soaking/spray-in-wash couldn't take care of. He was a pretty happy boy :) There is a pretty big smile underneath all the cream ;)
