Do you ever have one of those weeks where your mind won't shut off? Where you are constantly thinking about all that you have to do at work? All the while thinking about what you need to be getting done in your everyday life too. And at the same time, bits of time are also spent contemplating the past, present and future.
Where you have three different lists or more going at the same time? A work to-do-list, a grocery list, a weekend-to-do list, a packing list...just so many lists that are in three different notebooks or calendars. Don't get me wrong, I am not meaning to complain here. I am definitely one of those people that would rather be busy than bored and just sitting around. BUT sometimes I do just want to sit around. Sometimes I really, really don't want to leave work and go to the gym even though I know it will help clear my mind if only for a bit. Maybe this week I just had too much time on hands even though it didn't feel that way.
I mean I took up some of that time baking these cupcakes, and lets be real, its hard to think about too much while baking other than what is currently at hand. Contemplating too many things while baking can lead to cupcakes that fall in or turn rock hard from over baking or even just never get cooked all the way through.
These cupcakes did not do this however. I gave a new devil's food cake recipe a try, and to make these "s'mores" cupcakes I folded in pieces of graham cracker. I was worried all of the graham cracker bits would fall to the bottom, so I didn't add as many pieces as I would have liked. The graham crackers did not fall and next time I would definitely add more. The graham cracker pieces almost melt into these light fluffy cupcakes. I then topped these cupcakes with marshmallow fluff buttercream that was smooth and not too sweet, and went perfectly with the cupcake. I topped the cupcakes with a sprinkling of crushed graham cracker and a toasted marshmallow. Since, I love all things "s'mores" lately, I will definitely be making these again! Enjoy!
