The Story:

I live in a college town where “Dessert Parties” are the activity of choice on a Sunday night.  It’s a chance for the ladies to show off their homemaking skills and for the men to indulge in sweets and to flirt with a flock of single coeds.  Does it sound a little…bizarre?  We know.

Somehow I was in charge of providing 200 cupcake for Sunday’s gathering, and these cupcakes were gone within the first 20 minutes.

  5. 5. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 17-22 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  6. 6. Frosting: Beat butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes. Scrape down bowl as needed. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar until your frosting becomes thick. Add 1 Tbsp of milk, and beat. If needed, all more milk to keep the frosting light and fluffy rather than stiff like cookie dough.
