cupcakes for babra

I made the chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting from VCTOtW for my co-worker's birthday.

Sometimes at Starbucks they write "Babra" on her cup and I find that endlessly amusing.

They told me to use natural peanut butter, but I used Peter Pan peanut butter. Technically everything that exists in the world is "natural," so whatever.

I also used Earth Balance shortening because I forgot I hate it, so the frosting had a little plastickiness to it. Otherwise it was just like the really good cake we had at Farm Sanctuary Thanksgiving. Maybe one day I will make this in cake format!
