Anyhoo, a friend asked me to make her some St. Patrick's Day cupcakes using a recipe found here. The cake calls for 1/4 cup of creme de menthe. I substituted 1/4 c. milk + 1 tsp. creme de menthe extract + some green food coloring. Who am I kidding. I used a capful. Maybe two. I can't remember. Sad, since that was two days ago, but I digress.
The frosting was really low-cal: 6 oz. white chocolate baking squares, heavy cream, 1 cup of butter, and powdered sugar. Totally on Weight Watchers point system. Totally. After adding 2 cups of powdered sugar like the recipe called for, the "frosting" was still pretty runny, so I added another cup. It was still soft.
How'd they turn out?
Pretty cute.
