wormy and squirmy came to rest upon a cake

wanna make some of these graveyard delights?

First -
use a cake mix, follow the directions for cupcakes, but put some LUV into it girls, add chocolate milk instead of water, or buttermilk and when it comes to the oil - maybe use that stuff we call butter

Then -
take an 8oz of cream cheese (okay, this could be lowfat), room temperature, and half a bag of semisweet chocolate chips that you have melted carefully on a double boiler on the stove. whip together, add a teaspoon of vanilla for good measure, and approx. 3 cups of powdered sugar. frost right away.

Decorate -
with crumbled oreo cookies (about 7, without the creamy middles), and some gummi sour worms. makes it look like death warmed over at the cemetery.

Cupcake Alert!

It has been too long - I need to update you on my further cupcake escapades - namely, the creation of a new yummy frosting today. It happened quite by accident. I thought I had some more powdered sugar, but my cupcakes are a demanding sort of lot, and the well had run dry, so to speak. So, I improvised - and the frosting was quite a hit. Here it is, in all of it's simplicity:

Delicious Chocolate Frosting
1 cube of butter, softened
1 - 8 oz pkg of cream cheese, softened
1 tsp of vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa powder
6 oz of milk chocolate chips, melted
Cream together - frost immediately. Note: if refrigerated, will harden in texture.
Viola!! Heaven...
