E was the little chef this weekend and made both of these for his daddy. He insisted that we bring Daddy a cupcake in bed with the paper off (because he may not know how to do it and your definitely not supposed to eat it). The cupcakes were Barefoot Contessa mix (Vanilla with cream cheese frosting) and got some blue sprinkles on top. We forgot the candles that E thought we should have. Next time.
He rolled and pinched all the delicious little piggies in their blankets and even tasted the nasty biscuit dough. He will not, however have mustard anywhere near the piggies. Very strong aversion to mustard apparently.
Note: Ina Garten is a rich genius. The mix was seriously just the dry ingredients with some complicated instructions. Then she had the nerve to package some confectioner's sugar and call it icing. Well, I guess we bought it. But who else would ever buy it again? How does she get away with these shenanigans? Sorry Ina, I still love you and your Hamptons-chic recipes.

I know it's weird that I'm commenting on a post that you wrote in June, but the Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing are fabulous as well... And they dang well better be at nine dollars a box! I love/hate Ina too!
