We’re at a laugh more than cry moment in the Trump Regime. South Park. Diaper Diplomacy. “There’s a minute missing on all the tapes.” But, no, there’s no minute missing in the actual tape, just the edited one the Attorney Effing General put out.
The files were created by Biden or Clinton, but Clinton’s definitely on the list. Donald Fartsalot is not on the list, but if he is, Biden put him there. But Biden didn’t release the list because…Hell nobody knows. The whole thing is a hoax anyway. Somehow they managed to imprison Ghislaine Maxwell though. (And can’t we all please just agree on a pronunciation of that child sexual predator’s first name?)
And the windmills! The windmills are the worst kind of energy. The whales! My god think of the whales. Anyway, “Don’t talk about that, talk about these other people over there.” I mean, can you get any more “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” than that?
So, in truth, we should have made popcorn. And I’m sure popcorn is available somewhere in Sea World. But popcorn isn’t one of the options during the Seven Seas Food Festival. At least, if it is, we didn’t pick it because…it’s just popcorn.
This week, we made Chocolate Temptation Cupcakes.
According to the festival, “This decadent cupcake features a chocolate base, topped with chocolate fudge icing, chocolate whipped cream, and a chocolate hard shell.”
Well, we can’t see any chocolate icing on this cupcake. And we remembered having a chocolate cupcake last time that was filled with chocolate. So that’s what we did. We used this recipe for the cupcakes, this recipe for the icing, and this recipe for the chocolate whipped topping.
We decided not to try to make the hard shell and went with Hershey’s Shell Topping from the grocery. I bought three bottles (they’re not very big) thinking I’d need a lot.
But here’s the thing. To get the hard shell to get hard, what you put it on has to be frozen. We tried putting it on right after the cupcakes were ready. No go. We refrigerated them for 30 minutes. Nope. Then we put a couple in the freezer for 30 minutes. Still no.
Here’s our final product.
And I cut it open, so you could see the filling!
These cupcakes were super delicious! We left the others without the shell topping and they didn’t need it. The only problem for me was the cupcake-to-filling ratio. Too much icing. If I made them again, I guess I’d put the icing on top and then add the whipped topping. Just like the description says.
Chocolate always makes things better. And we had icing left over so I made brownies a few days later and iced them. OMG. Best brownies ever!
I highly recommend these recipes.
