Tonight we had guests over for dinner. As a dessert treat, Russ made "Irish Car Bomb" cupcakes. Look up the recipe to get the details. The short story is that the cupcakes are made up of the cake, the frosting, and a secret injected filling (ala Twinkie). The kicker is that each component has a healthy dose of some different type of alcohol! They're yummy and highly recommended.
Anyway...Russ is making them and is at the stage where he needs to inject the filling into the cupcake. The recipe says "Use a frosting cone" (whatever that cow-udder thing is that the professional frosters use) to inject the filling.
Well..Russ doesn't have one, so instead of getting one, he used a turkey baster! Hahaha! He would take off bulb, fill it with the goo, put it back on the "tube" part, then poke the nozzle into the cupcake and squeeze the bulb...thus injecting the filling into the cupcake.
Well...that's the theory anyway. Not too far into the process I hear a litany of curses coming from the kitchen. I dash in to see what's up and this is what I see:
The bulb had popped off the baster and sprayed frosting everywhere! Look closely and you'll see it on the spice-rack, the can opener, his face, all the other cupcakes...
He was such a happy chef!
