Miscalculation

Since the guys are coming back to work on the roof again tomorrow, I decided to bake them some cupcakes.  I've never made cupcakes before.  I usually just make a cake, because cupcakes seem like more work.  However, I won't be around tomorrow while they're working on the roof, and it would feel a bit odd to leave them a whole cake with the knife, plates and forks, etc.

Cupcakes seemed the easier route to go.

 I didn't have a cupcake recipe, so I ended up using Pioneer Woman's sheet cake recipe.  I've made it before with no problems, and she says that the same recipe can easily be made into cupcakes.  The problem is, she doesn't say how long to bake the cupcakes.

The sheet cake bakes for 20 minutes, and since I only have one muffin tin, I only used half of the batter.  I figured that since there would be more surface exposure to the heat, 15 minutes would probably be enough time.  Then I got busy making lemon chicken for dinner and forgot about them.  I baked them for 22 minutes.

Out they came.  At first they looked fine, but I turned away for a few moments to chop veggies and this is what I turned back to.

Now I can't decide if I should throw them out or try to fix them.  I could make a mixture of peanut butter, cream cheese and whipped cream to fill the indents and pretend like I planned for them to be this way.  Alternatively, I can declare that I'm paying the roofers enough that they don't need home cooked treats as well, and call it a day.

I'm leaning towards calling it a day.
