Many of you may remember that Adam left his job at Apple Inc. A few months ago, he started his job working as an IT assistant at a school in Phoenix, and a few weeks ago, he was promoted to an IT manager position and he has already become an essential team member to their department. It is so wonderful to see him actually enjoying his work, because seeing Apple work him so hard and never give him anything to show for it was frustrating for me since I saw the toll it was taking on him.
This new-but-not-so-new job of his has already made him much happier every day, and he has expressed to me that he really enjoys working for a school and he enjoys hanging out with his co-workers. A few days ago, Adam came home from work and told me that we were invited to one of his superiors' homes over the weekend for a friendly poker night with some of the other employees from the school.
He told me that he needed to bring some food and drinks to the party, and even though I had already packed up all of my baking supplies just a few days ago, I knew I needed to dig out the freshly-packed moving box and whip up a batch or two of homemade cupcakes for the poker night with his co-workers. Admittedly, it has been a while since I have done any baking with traditional flour, sugar, or cookies. Since we started adapting to a ketogenic diet back in March, I have switched to ingredients like almond flour and other low-carb and low-sugar substitutes. But being that this party was with his co-workers and one of his superiors was hosting the party, I knew I had to pull out the yummier ingredients and make these decadent, showstopper OREO cookie cupcakes.
These cupcakes are packed with OREO cookie chunks and chocolate chips, piped with vanilla frosting inside, and then decorated and topped with homemade cookies and cream frosting made with OREO cookies!
