here's how I made mine::
step one- gather your ingredients.
I tried to stay on the path of Steph's recipe since I have negative baking skills. white cake mix, some regular frosting, a cupcake pan, and blue food coloring. with the vodka of course.
I happened to have UV Cake vod and Pinnacle Cotton Candy. which is what I used.
step two- follow the recipe on the cake mix box, but substitute the water for vod (as in, 1 cup water = 1 cup of vodka). then put it into the tin, after it's lined with the paper things of course, and bake. I made mini cupcakes, the oven was 350 and they baked for about 10 min.
step three- frosting. I put the whole can into a bowl and mixed it with 4-6 tablespoons of vod. however, I realized then that it was too much frosting and I probs could have gotten away with half the can. oh well. tip:: if the frosting is too runny just add powder sugar.
step four- after the cupcakes are cooled and the frosting is ready started spreading it on, and then top with alcohol soaked cherries. recommendation:: do not use moonshine soaked cherries, people think they're too strong.
final product! |
they were delish, everyone loved them!
also, do not touch the pans when they are in a 350 degree oven, or this will happen
obviously I know not to touch hot items and this was an accident cause the stupid oven mit wasn't cooperating. it didn't really hurt, I'm sure it will leave a nice little scar though. oops.
there ya have it, folks! if I can manage to make them, I'm positive anyone else could. for our big firework bonfire I think I might try adding whiskey.
anyways, I'm off to work. then home to get things organized to see Tim McGraw tomorrow!! first country concert of the summer!!
They look delicious! I should make them for my brother's 30th.
ReplyDeleteOuch, I am sure that hurts! Things like that happen to me all the time, it is a shame.
ReplyDeleteCotton candy vodka? How cool is that? I have never seen this before, I need to try it!
Now you are my kind of girl, lol. I love the idea!
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ "don't use moonshine soaked cherries" because I've had them and yes, they're too strong!
ReplyDeleteI almost always burn myself when using the oven, which may be why I don't cook much.
Yes!!! I'm glad you made them and loved them :) Sorry you burnt yourself though, ouch
ReplyDeleteThese look great!!! I hate your burned yourself, hopefully you drank enough of the left over alcohol to forget the pain. Thanks for linking up this week! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! "Do not touch hot items"
