Chocolate peanut butter cookie dough cupcakes with two-toned frosting and coconut truffles

Here are my recent bakes as promised! Both were made for fundraising bake sales.


Finally bought a cupcake carrier. It has two levels so technically can hold 24 but if the icing is much more than a cm or so high, the bottom layer doesn't fit. Perfect if you only have 12. The bottom level is actually a metal muffin tray - bonus!
 
These cupcakes took some time to make but were well worth it. Here are the super moist chocolate (vegan!) cupcakes.

The peanut butter cookie dough balls. I added a little water into the mix as I didn't want the balls to be too firm. (best bit - eating the cut out bits of cupcake with the leftover cookie dough... yummm)

The two-toned icing was super fun! I made the icing a little thick in the first batch so it didn't pipe very smoothly. Otherwise a very easy technique - just fill two piping bags and put them both in one bag fitted with a large tip.


They were based on Joy's recipe here. I will have to make these again with the marshmallow frosting.

My grandma's awesomely addictive coconut truffles (secret family recipe :P)

Random yum lunch - stuffed baked pumpkin (grits + broccoli + mushrooms + pumpkin + liquid smoke, worcestershire sauce, pepper).
