We made these cupcakes except we adapted them to fit the ingredients at hand -- Kahlua and coffee liquor instead of bourbon, and hazelnuts instead of walnuts. The pie crust Leah made from scratch! We ended up with a spare cake. How awesome is that?!
Here is what goes in the cupcake pies. Those are chopped hazelnuts with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
The cake batter was a vanilla cake mix, but we added coffee liquor (we only had enough Kahlua for the ganache) instead of the Kentucky bourbon the recipe called for. What's better than hazelnuts and coffee flavor??
We used a bag with the corner cut off to pipe the ganache onto the cupcake-pies.
There wasn't enough room in the cupcakes for all of the cake batter, so we used the extra to make a small cake:
We also made crêpes with salami, provolone, tomatoes, onions, and a little bit of oregano and basil. This was Leah's first time making crêpes and only the first one fell apart!
We didn't eat the dogs.
And yes, Leah does in fact own a pet gargoyle.
