it poured all day Sunday so i decided to bake my favorite cupcake recipe and bring them in for my coworkers. these are Peanut Butter Cream-Filled Devil’s Food Cupcakes. the cupcake batter itself calls for coffee and buttermilk and the icing is chocolate ganache - so they are just about as amazing as you can get. you can find the recipe here from the Food Network.

this is amazing: A note from Tupac Shakur’s prom date. ‘96 “I had wrote a letter saying how much I loved his music to his fan club. At the end I made a joke saying that if he ever read this letter to please take me to my prom since my boyfriend had just broken up with me. About a month later there was a knock at my door and it was him! He was by himself. No reporters no homies just 2pac Shakur at my doorstep. He came in and talked to me and my mom and my brother for about fifteen minutes and asked me if I had gotten a dress yet. I said no and he said he would take care of it and gave me $1500 in all hundred dollar bills and told me to get something pretty. Prom day came and he called and said to be ready. A limo showed up with 2pac in it and went straight to my prom. Everyone was going crazy taking pictures but we hung out there for about thirty minutes. We danced to about five songs then he said he had business to take care of kissed me on the cheek and left. I think the world lost a great person when 2pac was killed and I will always remember his kindness.”
