HAPPY HALLOWEEN Everyone!!!
Long time no see! Sorry about that, but University & work keep me pretty busy. I´m cooking and all but lack the time to post. I promise this`ll get better.
Today I am going to have a little halloween fun with some friends and this is what I´ll bring:
It´s Martha Steward`s White Sheet Cake made into bright orange minicupcakes.
Ingrediences:
Cupcakes:
1 1/2 Cups Butter (roomtemperature)
3 Cups Flour
2 ts Baking Powder
1 ts Salt
2 1/4 Cups Sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 Cup Milk
8 Eggwhites
Frosting:
80g Creamcheese
60g Butter
2 Cups confectioners sugar
Since it´s Martha Steward`s go here for instructions. It´s real easy, though. The frosting recipe I found at all-about-cupcakes.com, really easy as well.

I used Wilson`s frosting colors and liked them. The orange works great in the cupcakes. I tried to make black cupcakes before this but they ended up looking grey and dead and not in a good way. I also bought the little sugar bats and pumpkins, before anyone asks me whether I made those myself.
Apart from coloring Martha´s recipe and misusing it for minicupcakes instead of making "a festive flag cake" I also added lemon flavor for a little twist (which would have been better with black cupcakes, though...). Not real lemons, just flavor since I´m allergic. And this time I only used half the recipe because I don´t need a gazillion minicupcakes. Works great. And they´re so tiny and cute. Just one bite. I love minicupcakes.

What did everyone else make for Halloween? I´d love to see...
No german this time. I think I´ll let that be completely. Anyone against that? Opinions welcome!
