National Cupcake Day 2015 for the dogs

In support of our local Humane Society, I baked some goodies to sell at work!  This is my third year taking part in National Cupcake Day and while I only raised $26.25 it was good to make people aware of the blight of animals.

The Pecan Cinnamon Coffee Cake was definitely the favorite, so here I thought to share the recipe.  I don't think the date matters:  why not bake up a cake and raise some $$ for your favorite animal shelter?  

Yup, I forgot to use the neat recipe stand/protector that my sister gave me and that blob in the middle is a butter stain.  Oops!  I'll be using that stand in the future!  

Eat shit! Please?

Ask a Hallowe'ener to make cupcakes and what do you get:  What Doggies Doo-Doo!

These cupcakes were created for the 2013 National Cupcake Day on February 25th to raise money for the SPCA.  They are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips and chocolate ganache centers, smothered under a cream cheese frosting of "grass" and topped each with a doggie doo-doo... because that's life!  Made with Camino fair trade cocoa powder, to make them even nicer!  I'm selling them at work for $2.00 a piece, all of which goes to the SPCA.

So, are they neat?  Gross?  I've entered them on the Facebook contest so please check out all the entries and vote for your favorite! (You can only vote once.) Can you spot mine?  I'm hoping they're the most original!!! Go to the contest, sort by recently added and please vote!
