what the hell is wrong with me?cupcakes and cupcake like objects.

you'd think after making every single cupcake from Vegan Cupcakes Takeover the World
I wouldn't be making cupcakes ever again.But i've done it twice this week.first the Jelly Dones,now Boston vs Brooklyn Cream Pie Cakes.

I got a weird craving for these suddenly last week,so I made them last night.So good.mmm ganache.and custard filling.I remember when I was in Brooklyn, Terry saying that even though she was sick of cupcakes she could still go for a boston cream pie one.I understand why,these are so good.and of course no buttercream.last time i made these was last october for a potluck.that's over a year.

Daniel and Maria enjoyed some after being tuckered out from listening to Cher and playing Lego:

"Happy fun-time tropical joy in a tender widdle muffin."

I love those cupcakes! I'm pretty impressed that you did ALL the cupcake recipes in the book... Are these ones your favorite? And mmmm, peanut butter cookies.

holy crap, those cupcakes look good. I think you're also officially a candidate for goddess status for making every single VCtotW recipe. yep. :)

Oh my gosh, I just looked at your other post and can't believe you made every single cupcake from that book.

The brooklyn/boston ones were the first ones I made from that book. Ah, memories...

p.s. which are your favorites? I have a 4-way tie between chocolate/mint, mexican hot chocolate, lime/coconut, and tiramisu, with tiramisu in slight lead.
