Surprise cupcakes

Ruth and I went to a "fake it 'til you make it"-themed movie night/dinner party last week. (Think Mrs. Doubtfire or Big. We ended up drawing Weekend at Bernie's.)

Choosing a thematically appropriate dish wasn't too difficult; we opted for savory cupcakes, roughly following this vegetarian meatloaf recipe. We dyed mashed potatoes garish shades of red and blue and piped them on. The finished product was surprisingly tasty, though not so yummy that we'd let people taste them unawares. Very little is tastier than expected chocolate.
