Snapecakes
Gratuitous Snapecake Shot

The cupcakes seemed to go over fairly well on Tuesday. The Brooklyn brownies, in particular, were snapped up — if I’d had the bourbon called for in the recipe, they probably would’ve been even better.
As for the green tea cupcakes, I was quite pleased; $16 is still a lot for me to spend on one ingredient, but it was worth it. I just wish my icing skills had been up to more than rolling out snakes for the decoration. Little Slytherin badges would’ve been better, but oh well.
In comparison, the gingerbread cupcakes didn’t go so quickly, though I didn’t have any left over at the end of the day (when desperate to rehome baked goods, leaving them in the break room unattended is nigh unto foolproof). I can only assume that (1) people really like chocolate, and (2) it’s the wrong time of year for gingerbread. Probably more of a December-type recipe for most people.
People really like chocolate. Chocolate anything always goes first.

I’ll recommend a raise for you, so you can continue to make the green tea ones. I had two. Too good.

Bribery will, of course, get you everywhere. :-)

I had a Brooklyn brownie cupcake at the office and took a gingerbread cupcake home with me. Jarrett and I split it — as I had to try it for myself, of course — and I personally thought it was fabulous. I just needed a taste of the green tea to finish off my sampling. Like I told you before, I’m totally buying the cookbook!

I highly recommend VCTOtW, Christi. (Also VwaV, for that matter.) Not only are the recipes all great — I haven’t come across a stinker yet, in either one — but the writing is also engaging, intelligent, and fun.
