White Russian Cupcakes for a Bachelorette Party!

I made White Russian Cupcakes for my cousins bachelorette Party! (is that how you spell Bachelorette?!) Along with the large cupcakes I made tons of miniature ones. My cousin said "I don't want to do the silly Suck for a Buck or anything like that," .. so I made miniature cupcakes that we put in a big box and took downtown with us! They were a HUGE hit! Telling people at the bars that pretty little cupcakes have vodka and kahlua in them? Of course people went CRAZY! We made some GOOD cash!! I am brilliant! These turned out great. I dumped lots and lots of extra kahlua in. It was a fun night with the ladies! I think some friends and I should pretend every night is bachelorette night and sell cupcakes??!

A Pie gathering.

Blueberry and Blackberry Crumble Pie and a Blackberry/Lime Pie. I wanted to make a whipped topping or a meringue topping for the lime and berry pie but ran out of time. It would have really topped it off. Put a bit of a berry/chocolate, red wine in with the fruit. 

Friends and I gathered for some drinks and pie. I think we had too many drinks before the pie.. resulting in.. a big mess of pie. I think I learned I can definitely slice pie way better without a few drinks... Making it look way cleaner and more beautiful :)  My kitchen ended up with crumbs all over and a messy table! But I had a bit of berry pie experimenting.. Probably things to perfect. Not so sure about the lime cream layer, It could be a bit thicker I think. Either cooking it longer or adding a bit more gelatin or agar powder. or well, something to thicken it a bit more.
