But instead of the recipe, you're getting pictures:
Yes, the goats and chickens are eating the cupcakes. Because they were just, well, horrible! I got the recipe out of the older BH&G cookbook, but made two slight modifications. I added cocoa powder and a little bit more oil to the recipe as well as adding about another 1/4 cup milk as the batter was like cement. Not sure if that is what screwed it up, but the cupcakes were as dry as an Ozark summer and I couldn't even finish one of them.
Rhiannon, on the other hand, was pretty distraught to see her cupcakes given to the livestock and had to grab just one more before they were devoured by the critters.
Hopefully some of you have a recipe worthy of making it to Tiny Gardener's Saturday Oven Lovin! I'm going to have to take a pass this weekend. Unless you really want a recipe for Livestock Fodder Cupcakes.
Gosh, I haven't made cupcakes for a while now. I'll have to dig through my recipes.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor little Rhiannon! Those cakes sure do look pretty, even though they tasted awful. I hope the livestock enjoyed them. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteRhiannon is so cute! That's a shame about those cupcakes! They look so good. Odd they should be dry if you increased the oil. No waste though, the critters are certainly enjoying. :)
ReplyDeleteHa, I think the livestock was sending you subliminal messages to get you to ruin the batter so they could get some good snacks. Dont worry, mine have a direct line to my brain to bring them the goods on demand.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the livestock enjoying "their" cupcakes! 'Tis true. On a homestead nothing goes to waste! They looked so good it must have been a little confusing to Rhiannon as to why they got fed to the animals!
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty. The animals seem to disagree with your assessment of them, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!! Been there, done that - more than once.
ReplyDeleteWell, they certainly LOOK great! At least the goaties and chickens got a "treat" out of a bad situation! :)
