Superman - Clark Kent

Well, it is kind of ironic, but Superman and Clark Kent tied. (Charlie and company voted for each person, but oh well, I counted it.) Thanks to everyone who voted! Now for the good stuff..... the dessert!

I know, I know, cheesecake doesn't really have anything to do with superman or Clark Kent, but if we all stretch our imaginations, you should get it. So here is a comparison list of Clark Kent, superman and cheesecake.

Superman is like Cheesecake because it is....

Sophisticated. (Superman would have to be sophisticated because he is always meeting presidents and vouching for world peace and all that.)

Yummy. (No, I am not supporting cannibalism.) Some people would just say superman is like "Eye candy" or whatever that little saying is.

Clark Kent is like Cheesecake because it is...

Nerdy. I mean come on! When you think about it, having cheesecake at a birthday party is nerdy! It's like puff pastries instead of ice cream.

Uhhhh....
I will have to get back to you, I can't think of anything else....




For the recipe, go to www.thepioneerwoman.com/tastykitchen and look for oreo cheesecake cupcakes. You will need more oreos than what the recipe calls for and you have to whip the cream cheese for a long time.

Merry Christmas!

Peppermint crumble cake

I did it! I took that picture and it actually looks good! I found out that my camera has a special setting for this kind of stuff, so my pictures should be looking a lot better now. :)

I thought chocolate cake sounded really good so found this yummy recipe on allrecipes.com. So for the recipe go to www.allrecipes.com and look for extreme chocolate cake.

I baked the cake in two round pan planning to stack them and make it all pretty and perfect and just so.... but it didn't work. It never ever, ever works! Every time I bake something in round pans and then try to take them out, they fall apart. I even waited an hour for them to cool! Grr...

SO since that didn't work, I crumbled the cake into big pieces and put it in a rectangle cake dish. Then, I drizzled white frosting over it and put some crushed candy canes on it. I love crushed candy canes. They're so good! You can put them with pretzels and ice cream and cake and... and..... (Anyway back to the subject at hand.) just put the candy canes on top and eat it.

And the winner is....

From left to right: Chekov,Scottie, Kirk, Spock and whatever the girls name was.

The results are in and Kirk has won the competition! (I guess this just proves the whole looks are better than intelligence thing.) Thanks to all that voted! Here's your recipe:

Make your favorite batch of sugar cookies that are cut into gingerbread man shape. When the cookies are cooled, frost as seen in the pictures. You will need white frosting and red, blue and yellow food dye. (Yes, I am aware that I do not have good frosting skills.)
