Tapping into my inner low-brow for a White Trash Dinner extravaganza, I kicked up the zing on some vegan Twinkies by piping them with Southern Comfort-infused buttercream! My oh my, how I love me a themed dinner party. With friends busting out the denim cut-offs and mesh hats, crafting appropriate playlists and locating buckets for Southern fried tofu, I knew I had to step up my game. Barefoot in the kitchen, I replaced the vanilla extract with a couple of teaspoons of whiskey for some sweet grain euphoria.After the canoe pan ate my first attempt using VCTOTW‘s golden vanilla cake base, attempt number two used Jennifer of Vegan Lunch Box fame’s recipe. Jennifer is a food artist, to say the very least, and her recipe is more thorough than Maude Lebowski’s doctor.
Finally, the golden delicious cakes emerge from the pan in their entirety, save for a destroyed couple that needed immediate disposal in my mouth. With equal parts white flour and sugar, these cakes were way sweet.
After a few false starts, I was piping like a pro. Although I opted for only two cream entrance points, I was sure I was inflating them adequately…
…but it turns out I kind of skimped. But they are sure to be a crowd pleaser, I’m sure!
