The Payday Cupcake is Heavenly!

If you love Paydays and you haven't tried this cupcake, you must be crazy.  I was a little worried.  I am not much of an icing maker.  And I definitely struggle witht he decoration portion, but I was willing to turn the oven on in this hot weather.  And boy, I am glad I did because I am sure that I heard angels singing. 

The cake portion was extra fluffy.  I did struggle a little with the icing portion.  I think that I might have gotten a little to dry, so when you make yours, stick to about 2 cups of powder sugar.  As you can see, I also struggled with the decorating portion, but I think it was not a bad first attempt. 


Recommendations: 

1.  I think that the peanuts really make the cupcake.  I would recommend either chopping the nuts finely and adding them to the icing.  Or, I guess you could roll the iced cupcake in the peanuts to get the maximum nuts on the cake. 


2.  Keep your icing moist and not grainy. 


But either way this cake is heavenly!
