Oh, a meme that lets me use my beloved icons?!?
1. How do you feel right now?
2. What's your favorite pastime?
3. Do you consider yourself a strange person?
4. What's your main fandom?
followed by
and then
5. OTP?
I guess I have a lot of OTPs, considering this barely scratches it. That's just how I roll.
JK on the last few XD
6. How do you describe yourself?
7. How do others describe you?
8. Whats your favorite icon to use that's not default?
Cheery Charlie just makes everything happier.
9. Do you have an icon of your future husband/wife?
10. Do you have an LOLWUT icon?
Off to decorate some cupcakes!
2 am edit: See, told you!
In the spirit of the Jason cake, I bring you the Jason cupcakes! BTW if you think the explanation for this project is the fact that I was slowly polishing off that bottle of Paul Newman Cab, then you would be right.
I had it because last night I made a batch of compote, where I simmered strawberries and blueberries in a bit of the wine. We ate all of the fruit easily (because it was amazingly delicious), but there was a fair bit of the fruit juice/wine left, so I saved it. I used it instead of the water in a strawberry cake mix recipe, hence the purpleness and stray blueberries in the cupcakes. At first when I mixed the stuff together and even when they first came out of the oven, I was afraid my little experiment might have ruined them. It seemed from the smell that they might come out bitter, but after they cooled I tried them and they're awesome. More depth of flavor than you ever get from a box mix, normally.
My other motivation besides old Cool Hand Luke was wanting to try out this frosting technique someone told me about, which is simply melting store-bought frosting. It totally works! I dipped 'em all once and chilled them in the fridge before I gave them a second coat and they came out great. In the meantime I also had some honest to goodness dip for fruit so I went to town there too:
I only did the orange slices and grapes on a bit of a whim, but they turned out to rival the strawberries in their deliciousness. The little tuxes are pretty cute though, huh?
God, I fucking hate Valentine's Day.
