French Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Crème brûlée Buttercream {… and Football}

Well, happy new year my lovelies. My friend was home from Costa Rica & invited me to his parents’ house for some Indianapolis Colts football action. I happily carried myself there along with these French Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Crème Brûlée Buttercream icing. I even melted some sugar in the oven for a nice golden garnish. Let me admit to you now that I used a boxed mix for these. But not just any boxed mix: Wildly Delicious cupcake mixes from their LUXE line.
{Yes, these are the actual cupcakes I made & carried}
I promised myself a good kitchen experiment session to make these from scratch. Update to come…
Empanadas

Empanadas

I had some wild craving for empanadas, so I went out searching for some {didn’t feel like making any today}. There’s a new little tapas place in Fishers, so this was my chance to try it out. Two empanadas “to go” please. I’ve now put these little pastries on my list of 2010 Kitchen Experiments. You know, since 2009 ends in about 3 hours.

Quite tasty. Please go. The end.
